T.O.P.'s Tuesday: 1st Devo Off to the Editor

Achievement: June 30, 2020 Goal!

o. Welcome to One Sister's Journey - Keeping it Real, the blog. It's nice to have some new readers. If you are joining us after listening to my podcast, you'll find photos or extensions from some of the podcasts. For my  readers the past seven plus years, your faithfulness is a constant support and encouragement for me. Thank you!

The first T.O.P.'s Tuesday posted on August 28, 2012, you can read this blog by clicking on the previous link. T.O.P.'s Tuesday started as the blog each week my readers could rely on for information about upcoming speaking events, book signings, and where upcoming books are in the publication process. Over the years, T.O.P.'s Tuesday also shared special stories about Heidi and special moments in our lives growing up. The Tuesday blog is a family favorite. 

As I move forward and start writing to publish again, Tuesday will be the day I'll share publication highlights and updates. This is an exciting time as I follow the Holy Spirit's leading and not only write, but write to publish and encourage other. This past February I started my first devotional. I shared the first few weeks with some Beta readers and their response was positive and they wanted more. I'm grateful for their honest feedback and suggestions. I've made changes and tweaks while writing.

Initially I planned to release it later this year but after talking it out with my daughter and looking at the calendar...my first devotional will release February 2, 2021. It's an Easter Devotional!

Yup, Only God would have seen this coming. I've fought it but when God is leading you, it's best to move forward in agreement for His plan. In order to accomplish this tight schedule, my first deadline is to have the first draft to the editor by June 30, 2020. I'm have to report, I'm on target for an on-time-submission, if not a couple days early. Instead of spending hours on my computer doing school work and teaching, it's time for a summer of writing and pre-publication.

Be sure to follow the blog, sign up on the right. As we move forward, you can participate in the book release preparations by voting and possibly being an Advanced Reader and sharing reviews. Does this sound interesting to you? I hope so. It will be a busy/relaxing summer of writing, writing, and writing! Your prayers are appreciated.

What goal, or goals, have you achieved this week?
