“...so that the words I write may, must so, speak strength and grace into the commonplaces of people’s lives. Your Son taught us that those who would be truly great must humble themselves and be the servant of all. In my writing, Lord God,
give me a servant’s heart so that I may listen for also that beauty that emerges from even the smallest voices of my everyday.” -Scott Hoezee

“All artists are vulnerable. Suppose there is no audience? Suppose no one will read or care about what you have given out of your heart’s blood? Suppose the reviewers are brutal in their clever misunderstandings? Suppose that the words are unacceptable after all?
It makes no difference. The writer is called to offer.

"...the writer asks, in prayer, for the right word, the right image. Perhaps the writer asks for the time and opportunity to craft what is in her heart. Perhaps the writer asks for that one editor who has a sense of the writer’s purpose and intent, that editor who will help bring it all to fruition. But beneath all of those prayers is the deeper one: that the writer’s art might hold the darkness and chaos at bay."
