The Climb

[StrgMarvelousWmn]

SMW -- you might recall that I'm writing The Great American Divorce book. Or at least a snarky, Smiley's Person-like version of it.

And as you know, Smiley's Person is not a man of faith. But I am a man who can be inspired (though perhaps "is inspir-able" is a better, if grammatically incorrect, construction).

And here's what Smiley's Person thinks: SMW should write a book, published by a Christian publishing house, on being a Strong Marvelous -- and Christian -- Woman coping with divorce.

I'm very serious about that. Much of it -- certainly the book proposal -- could simply be cleaned-up (grammar, spelling, etc.) past posts. Nearly every publisher has a link on the web where writer's guidelines, proposal requirements, etc., can be found, and the easiest strategy would simply be to hie yourself down to your local Christian bookstore and write down the names of the companies that seem to publish the most in "your" field (i.e., family and marriage) -- or, if you've read as much as you seem to have done, simply look at the books on your shelves.

One writer to (another) -- I think it would be the ultimate GAL. You have a lot to offer and not only to the Maximally Heathenic like Smiley's Person -- it's obvious in your fellow Christians' responses to your posts.

That's what I think anyway.

Smiley--

Your continued support of my stand, particularly given your non-religious leanings, is much appreciated. I am grateful to be able to advance, in what ever small way I can, the cause of My Father's Kingdom and His always available gift of salvation and grace to those who seek His face.

The book idea is niggling in the back of my mind (like I do not have enough to do already!) but until I finish my Bachelor's in October, the free time to apply myself is not readily available. Maybe i will do some research on publishing houses and then bookmark it for that time to explore further.

Living God's blessings with grace and dignity~
