Waiting for my new novel to be released is a lot like waiting in line to use the bathroom. I'm dancing around in anticipation.
I've attached a value, called self-worth, to my life. It either wins me the deference of others or their indifference.
Though others opinion of me matters; I don't allow it to generate control of my life.Took me years to learn to let go and let God guide my way.
Anticipating my book's release also scares me. As a writer, I can't help but slip and bare my soul on some pages, subliminally, but I can see it. Seems to be a habit I can't shake free of. It's cathartic in many aspects. However, only a few of my family and friends recognize the me that shows up in black and white occasionally.
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Yeah, the anticipation is toying with me. But it's also keeping me humble.
I just hope God gives me a nod of approval as I try to use His Love as a message in my writing.

Congradulations on your upcoming book. Hope all goes well with it. :O)
Hi Don.
Thanks for your reply.
And might I add CONGRATULATIONS on your children's books as well. The titles are wonderful. It's obvious there lives a little boy inside that fine mind of yours that's not afraid to play.
I took a look at your blog and found it's also obvious...you are an intellectual. Keen and playful...
Perfect harmony.
Drop by anytime and leave a word or two. My porchlight's always on.
God Bless,
Taylor
Dearest Taylor,
Its very kind of u to remember me in ur notes.i really enjoy all ur writings.its full of light and hope. I agree with u about " To appreciate true 'happiness' we must know sadness as well"
We can not truly appreciate happiness ,unless we experience sadness. There is also a verse in "Holy Kuran" which says:
Certainly there is a time of ease after a hardship…""
I love this verse.Kuran is full of life and hope and happiness. But Muslims are so wrapped up in their own political ,religious issues that they don’t actually dedicate any amount of time to appreciate Kuran.
I've read Bible and Old Testament too. I like them ,but I truly appreciate Kuran because it is more rational and more real.
Disregarding me being a Muslim, I can say for sure that it is the best book I've ever read so far
