I think that's why I love Coming Undone so much. Kathryn's ambition tells her she should do X, Y, Z to snag a man and get married, but it is her compassion rather than her agenda that actually so captivates Ben that he can't deny his attraction to her. She loves him... deeply, selflessly, and unconditionally... whether she's going to get anything out of that relationship or not.<br /><br />I wish we could all learn to do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090302339249953491.post-43534238972609133762011-08-28T20:45:03.203-05:002011-08-28T20:45:03.203-05:00Good to hear from you, Gail.

I love her books and I believe that several of them should be mandatory reading in every middle and high school. Especially, The Price of Silence and Dreams by Starlight.<br /><br />Staci taught me everything I know. It is because of her that I am published. <br /><br />Debra UllrickDebra Ullrickhttp://www.debraullrick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090302339249953491.post-73626152851752157112011-08-28T19:34:12.866-05:002011-08-28T19:34:12.866-05:00Hi Staci,

I've been so convicted of that at book signings etc. God always gives me a divine appointment that makes me realize it's about more than just selling books.

Ours isn't as hot. :) Hope your night and your meal were wonderful!<br /><br />As to writing, I write everything... plays for VBS, songs, poetry, FB posts, letters to friends, emails, articles, novels, Bible Studies, God HELP! books (you know, for when self-help isn't working!). I find the more I write, the less bogged down I get in trying to say things right. I find my voice and just let myself spill onto the page. I figure I can always go back and edit out what I've decided not to let anyone see! :)<br /><br />Thanks for having me, Sidney!

Poems, songs, short stories, journals, blogs, novels." <br /><br />I think that kind of diversity can help. I write nonfiction, but I wrote my personal finance book in story form to make it appeal to people who hate personal finance books. I also included some poetry in that book in the form of riddles. Good for us creatives to keep pushing the bounds of our creativity.J. Steve Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870021792410233345noreply@blogger.com
