Publishing Secrets

Candy Arrington: This Waiting Season

Episode Summary

How do you respond when things don’t go the way you expect them to? This week’s Publishing Secrets guest, Candy Arrington, is a living example of the phrase “expect the unexpected.” Candy had ideas and made plans for her writing journey, but God showed repeatedly that His plan and timetable were very different. Listen to Candy’s story about waiting and watching for God to work, and let Candy challenge you to examine all the times God has helped you – even when it seemed as though none of your plans were working out.

• What Candy has learned about waiting well – and why waiting doesn’t have to be negative
• How to tell if you have enough material to write a book rather than an article
