Again: God. These characters came from dreams I had after reading a popular YA series that left many unquestioned answers regarding eternity. After finally putting 'Them' to paper, I realized 'they' were characters I had started years ago. It was amazing how God used 'them' and me with this story. I'm excited to see what He has in store for 'Them'.

Simple answer: God. I don't doubt this story was given to me by God. When He's ready to give me more snippets of 'Them', I stop what I'm doing and write.

The sequel and second to the trilogy Anticipation: Proclamation. It's a continuation of Mark's & Cassie's story. And they grow deeper together and with God. It's been a hard story to write, and if done correctly, will be hard to read. It's been very personal to me- many tears...

Just write. You have a story to tell. Who cares what others think? Write what you want and need to write. If it ends up only being for you, then it was still well worth the energy. You are worth the effort you put into yourself!

For me, seeing how God works through the story. He's shown me things for 'me', through 'Them'. It's amazing when He speaks through 'Them'.

It depends on my motivation and dedication for the moment. If 'now' is the only time I have to write, then blocked or not, I write. Maybe something can be used, maybe not- but more often than not it gets the juices flowing. If I don't necessarily 'have to' write 'now'- then I walk away from it. "They' tend to speak to me when I'm ignoring 'them' anyway.
