1. God is still soverign. No matter what happens we can hold firm and fast to that truth.
2. My household is COVID-19 free. In the state I live in the virus is running rampant, so I'm very thankful for a healthy family.
3. I have a roof over my head and plenty of food to eat. Things I take for granted, but necessities many don't possess.
4. Friends I can keep in touch with via technology even when I'm not able to see them face to face.
But wait, Seriously Write is geared toward writers. So how does this apply? Here are a few writing blessings I'm thankful for.
1. More time to write. Normally my calendar is jampacked with more to do than I can get done. A slower paced life, even if it is forced on me, provides more writing time. Now to make myself take advantage of that writing time. 😉
2. More online opportunities for learning than I've ever seen before! I attended two conferences and countless workshops.
3. NaNoWriMo. I'm not participating this year, but I've seen some fabulous word counts.
4. Trusting God like never before to decide which direction to take my writing.
a. Traditionally published or focus on indie. I'm not telling yet!
b. Trying a different genre. There is a genre I've been wanting to try for quite some time and I'm going to give it a whirl!
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I hope you and your family have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving Day.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever. - 1 Chronicles 16:34
Trusting God like never before to decide which direction to take my writing.

Natalie Benton bounced from one foster home to another until she landed on Ellie Alexander’s doorstep. Natalie’s vagabond childhood caused her to yearn for a secure life, which led to Natalie’s five-year plan: complete her law degree, marry the perfect man, become a partner at Montgomery, Haynes, and Preston, and produce one child. Getting arrested wasn’t in Natalie’s plan. Needing a public defender wasn’t in her plan. Falling for Grady Hunter, her public defender, definitely wasn’t in her plan. Can Grady convince Natalie there is more to life than her five-year plan? Is Ellie the only one who sees a future for Natalie and Grady?
