2. The need to control other people, and the circumstances of your life.

3. Any tendency to play “the victim role”.

4. Negative and destructive self-talk.

5. Self-defeating and limiting core beliefs. (“I’m…

The Song of Songs: Part 2 - Deepening | Ben Stuart

I have watched this more than once and then last night watched it again with my boyfriend. If you’re single, in a relationship, considering one, or plan on getting married one day, then you need to watch this video. Especially any gentleman that scrolls past this. I absolutely love this and yes, it’s an hour long but I’m telling you that when you start watching it the time just flies by. Watch this video. It’s amazing.

"You know the value of prayer: it is precious beyond all price. Never, never neglect it — Sir Thomas Buxton — Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother: pray, pray, pray."

"I am not what I ought to be,
I am not what I wish to be,
I am not what I hope to be;
but, by the grace of God,
I am not what I was."

motivation for moving beyond your writing habits: Resources for finding literary agents

keyboardsmashwriters:

It’s always a good idea to begin your research as early as you can, because A LOT is still not enough. When you round up your data, make sure you check out every website, twitter, or other networking site an agency might have.

To jump-start your research, here are all the resources I’ve compiled over the process of my own querying journeys (also, these sites are free, and a few of them have donation pages or additional services if you do find them helpful):

  • Agent Query — is a great website with a database of agents. AQ also has additional resources like how to submit to a literary agent and how to write a query.
  • Query Tracker — is updated quickly, especially when agents close to submissions for periods of time. QT has individual message boards for each agent page so writers who are querying can see approximate and recent response times that other writers are getting. Additionally, agent pages also have graphs and lists of clients and other useful things.
  • Absolute Write — is a forum for writers that has a whole branch for members to discuss agents, response times, goings-on, so on and so forth. Other helpful threads include workshopping chapters and queries — which, if you’re fairly new to querying, is highly recommended.
  • Literary Rambles — is a blog run by Casey McCormick and Natalie Aguirre, and they post really sweet, in-depth profiles and blurbs from interviews of literary agents in the YA (young adult), MG (middle grade), PB (picture books) and CB (chapter book) realms.
  • Writer Beware — is sponsored by the SFWA (Science Fiction Writers of America) with support from the MWA (Mystery Writers of America). They update with publishing scams and schemes and traps with advice on how to spot and avoid them. They also have a blog and a facebook page.
  • What to do when you’ve finished your manuscript — is advice I put together to help prepare writers to prepare their manuscripts and submission needs. Many writers begin querying before they’re ready.
  • Avoiding publishing scams — another quick tidbit of advice on steeling oneself against the temptation of “too good to be true” offers. The aforementioned sites are linked here as well.

For reference.

"Study me as much as you like, you will never know me, for I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see."
