I'm so excited; I don't know where to begin!!!
First things first: I am a writer.
Gulp.
That took a lot of courage. I guess what I should say is that I’m trying to CONVINCE myself that I am one. I recently finished my first manuscript entitled, “Finding Devaney Fitzpatrick,” and while I know I have a long way to go with it, being able to put the words on paper has been an absolutely amazing experience!!! It is almost as if writing has breathed life into a part of me that I never really took the time to recognize or nurture. I’ve always enjoyed writing but until recently, always lacked the passion or commitment to pursue it fully. Now I can’t stop the words that run rampant in my brain.
I am a new member of the American Christian Fiction Writers and it is already blessing my socks off! Not only am I learning so much about the craft of writing, but also I feel so fortunate to have been led to find a group of the most genuinely nice and giving writers I could ever imagine!
Above all, I am reminded why I write. I don’t necessarily write so that one day I can hold my book in my hands or to please the others around me. I write because at the core of my being God created in me a heart that longs to share with others things that I can only express in words on a page.
Even if I never become published, I need to stop fiddling around and see myself in the capacity in which God has created me. It is for Him that I write and even if I am not able to see my “books” until I arrive in heaven, I will at least know they were laid at my Savior’s feet.
Much love,
-Rebekah
Oh, and in case you are wondering, I write contemporary fiction with a “chick-lit” voice. Sorry if that’s confusing =) I, myself, am confused quite often! I’ll try to post some of it on the blog sometime.

Rebekah,
What a beautiful post! Welcome to the vast world of blogland.
You're a very good writer, anyone can see that; it's going to be a simple matter of time before you're published. You have a great "voice".
BTW- I love the name of your project. Great title! Makes me want to find out what it's about.
I'm so excited to be able to read your thoughts! I miss the emails you used to send when you were far, far away. You have this way of being so honest and real while finding true humor in the little things. So... yay!
Yes my wife is a beautiful natural gifted writer. She works very hard at her writing and I love it when she gets exsited when she learns something new. I am so thankfull for her and pray that all her dreams come true with her writing. Thank you writers out there for sharing I love you rebekah and i cant say it enouph
"I am very proud of you"
Rebekah, without sounding too stalker-esque, I wanted to let you know I stumbled upon your blog via your husband's blog... which I was looking at because my husband is a photographer, as well, and we are new to the Portland area. Anyhow - when you get to the sending stage - I wanted to encourage you to send your final manuscript to Moody Publishers (my previous employer) once you've completed it. They're always in search of up and coming fiction writers and the acquisitions editor is amazing. And yes, they do take unsolicited fiction manuscripts! Just a nudge / bit of encouragement for you!
