New Purpose

                                                 

It has been a long time since I posted on this particular blog. I am getting to the point where I am having a hard time keeping up. But instead of starting a whole new blog, I decided that this would be the perfect spot to have all of my book reviews and all things "writer-ly."

I am not going to set a specific date when I will do what, but I will fill you in on a few items.

1. I am now part of a group called "CelebrateLit." In this group, Christian books are reviewed and then posted. The idea is for as many people as possible to read the blogs and then get the book. It is so wonderful, and I have posted several reviews already because these authors are marvelous! I am so pleased to be getting to know some of them on a more personal level.

                                             

2. I would like to share others' reviews as well. Maybe it would be helpful to find other opinions?

3. As an aspiring author (notice I didn't say 'writer') I know how important it is to get feedback from as many people as possible. So I am hoping that this blog will benefit, even in s small way, published authors, soon to be published authors and other bloggers, such as myself,

                                               

4. I would like to help other bloggers in their discoveries. There are some WONDERFUL writers out there that have a special message. I would like to use this blog as a forum for them as well - let their light shine.

and.....

5. I would like to embark upon a small project, myself, in which I work my way through a book that I found in a wonderful, musty-smelling used bookstore. "Writing as a Healing Art" by Laura Cerwinske piqued my interest since I have, for a long time, thought that my writing has helped me and continues to help me grow and heal from years of hurt and disillusionment.

                             

So, are you with me? I will still try and get to my other blogs, never wanting to show preferential treatment to one particular blog.


I hope you will enjoy some of the items on here. I realize that in order to comment, I think you need to have a Google account, and I do apologize for that. I do hope that will not deter you from leaving a comment either on my Facebook page or on my Wordpress account. I will eventually add an email link where you can send me emails or sign up to receive emails and blogs.

I am still trying to figure out how to do that, so if you have hints, let me know....

Your friend,

Petra
