Ironing Out The Wrinkles

It's Email Newsletter Time!
Here I am with a copy of one of my email newsletter pages. I'm holding a picture of me with MORE GRACE, the newest novel in my Church Doors series of Faith Works Stories. I like to make one copy of each of my email newsletters and place it in a notebook. That might seem odd to some people, but it works for me. I'm an author who often builds story scenes from the experiences I have as I go through the day. I find people interesting to observe. It can be a unique sound of laughter, the way they walk, the style of dress, the way they interact with others, the joy they spread, the way they speak, and more.
I invite you to subscribe to my email newsletter: Church Doors, The Newsletter. The September 2024 issue is scheduled to publish on September 23, 2024. Email me at info@sylviabrownroberts.com and let me know to email the newsletter to you. We have a Giveaway in this issue! I look forward to hearing from you this week.

I'm Thankful.
I think she likes this novel. Her eyes look sort of pleased. That's a good sign.
The author in me wants to whisper softly to her, "Dear, would you mind moving your fingers off the title and the author's name so people can see them clearly?" I wouldn't do that though, because in a room full of books, she chose to spotlight one of my novels.

Slow Down Sometimes
Today I got a message to SLOW DOWN.
I arrived at Mom's. My sister and I were to take her to a medical appointment. When I got there, my very punctual sister wasn't there.
Mom was surprised to see me, so she checked her calendar. Then, I checked my calendar. I was a day ahead of myself. The appointment is for tomorrow! We laughed about it.
I left Mom's and I slowed down enough to play. I got my favorite breakfast sandwich, bought a cute top at Marshall's, and I strolled the aisles of Dollar Tree.
When I got home, I chuckled at myself. I put aside a writing assignment and did some sewing instead. I got rid of some thoughts from my crowded brain. I chilled out, and it was a good move.

Write On, Author.
By grace, I plan to write several more novels. They may not all be part of the Church Doors series, but I aim for them to be full of thought-provoking characters and how they handle challenges of faith.
I like the pensive expression on this reader's face.

Vengeance is not Mine
Recently, a repair person charged me more than I should have been charged, but I couldn't prove it. It's a challenge when something breaks that you don't know much about fixing. This picture of the dark cloud represents my anger once I figured out I'd been overcharged. But then, I had a thought! The repair person may have charged me too much, but I won't explode. The Lord will take care of the shady repair person. The Lord doesn't want me to avenge. People who take advantage of others will eventually get handled. I won't use the company's services anymore. I'll tell them why if they ask me. No anger for me. Instead, I'll keep trusting in the Lord. (Romans 12:17-19)

Thanks For Choosing My Novel!
She's reading MORE GRACE, the 5th novel in my Church Doors series of Faith Works Stories. It was published in May 2024 and already some people let me know that they completed reading it. Some of them said, "Okay, Sylvia, what happens next to NikkiMac, Jacee, and Anna Maria? When is book 6 in the series coming out?"
I smile because they don't know what a challenge it was for me to get book 5 to the publisher due to other responsibilities that arose while writing it. I smile because HIS grace made it possible for me to complete book 5 while meeting the responsibilities with love.
Hmm, I wonder if the woman in this picture got to the part where NikkiMac and Adam address a marital issue? I put lots of care into writing about that.
Always Sylvia
