Listen to My Publishing Journey and Learn How to Be “Gutzy”
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Devon Plumberg just interviewed me for her Blog Talk Radio “Gutzy Gab” show.
We talked about …
- my writing and publishing journey.
- how I became an author.
- how I got into publishing (despite people telling me how difficult it is to land a job in publishing).
- how I found my “calling” as a publishing coach/consultant.
- how to deal with “doubt spasms” and keep others from killing your dream.
- how to find that unique constellation of experience, gifts, talents, and passions that add up to your unique destiny and contribution to the world.
I think you might find it inspiring. (It’s 30 minutes long.)

Dear Diane,
I do not think it is a mistake but a leading of the Spirit. Are you a born again Christian?
You see I stumbled upon this business of writing a book. And surprisingly support came from unexpected quarters. But I myself and shivering and shaking, and paralysed since I wrote the first couple of pages.
I am in this place when I get this communication from you which I believe is God. Please comment
Pat

I felt that the Lord wanted me to write a book about my childhood days and how He led me to find Him, but I kept shrugging off the idea.
When I received your email, I thought it was kind of weird as I did not ask for any writing or publishing help, but I do believe it came from the Lord confirming what He’d like me to do.

Wow–both your responses led me to write a post on my Abundant Gifts blog about how God uses even our “mistakes” for his purposes. http://www.abundantgiftsblog.com Yes, Pat, I am a saved-by-grace Christian, and the greatest joy of my life is looking for God’s gifts and hand in everyday life, which is what my book, Abundant Gifts, is all about. One of my passions is to equip others to start looking, too, and so there are some free journals available from my Abundant Gifts site (http://www.abundantgiftsbook.com).
(For those wondering what these comments refer to, I “accidentally” sent an email out about my Gutzy Gab interview to the “wrong” list–people who had signed up for my Virtual Book Tour on Pagan Christianity (http://www.askfrankandgeorge.com). I felt bad about it and sent an apology email, but apparently there were people who found that “mistake” email to be a godsend.)
