Writing for life...

my goal is to be a writer - to be published by the time I am 30 years old... that gives me just over 5 years to do it... I want to write non-fiction... self-help, I guess would be the genre... books about life and "how to do it"... marriage, parenting, home-making, etc... I also want to include Bible study in my writing - digging deeper into the Scriptures and finding practicality in applying the Bible to everyday living... I want to impact other women and use my life as an example of what to do in some things and what not to do in others... I want to be a stay-at-home-mom who uses her life happenings to make a living by sharing her faith and journey with others... to start, I am going to attempt to write daily... by forcing myself to do this small exercise, I hope to start to think more like a "writer" and become better with putting words and ideas down on "paper"... I have started to "journal" regularly within the last few weeks, simply typing as I think - and I tend to think a mile a minute... I often get lost in my web of thoughts that I weave! I want to write in order to encourage women in their spiritual journey... I want to help women be better friends, wives, mothers, etc. I have found that these types of books have encouraged me, and I enjoy reading them and always find myself wanting to write a similar book... so here I go!
