Never Give Up on Your Dreams

Never Give Up on Your Dreams!

Never give up on your dreams
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” –Thomas A. Edison
Never give up on your dreams. Especially if your dreams are about serving God through your writing. I figure I’m a poster child for not giving up on my dreams.
I started Cassandra and the Cowboy (Read the first chapter at https://janinemickwills.com/read-the-1st-chapter-of-catc/) more than twenty years ago. During that time I worked off and on, not only on the book (especially in the revision and editing stages) but also in trying to get it published. I even had agent representation. Sadly, we were both wet behind the ears and my manuscript wasn’t ready to see the publishing light of day. After a fruitless year, my agent and I parted ways.
Fast forward many more years and MANY more revisions and editing. In 2018, my hubby and I prayed that if I couldn’t get my book published traditionally by January 2019, we would look into self-publishing. A week or two later, Jennifer Farey of Journey Fiction contacted me. She not only wanted Cassandra and the Cowboy, but also the next two books in the series Juanita and the Outlaw and Maddie and the Texas Ranger. She coined the series title Texas Treasures. Since the series was published, I have prayed that they bring glory and honor to my Lord.
I will share more about making and meeting your goals in the weeks to come. For now, I want to encourage you to never give up on the dream God gave you. Today could be the day you see a breakthrough, and how heart-breaking would it be if you gave up yesterday?
