Setbacks.
They suck.
Alot.
But there are lessons to be learned.
Changes in the plot of our ...novels and life aren't always bad.
Sometimes the bad has to happen so we can grow, see things from another perspective or even new prospects.
With my worldview, I don't think God makes evil but because of our bad choices we have to suffer the consequences of our actions.

We have choices to make.
Small and big. I'm not sure it's possible to go through Nanowrimo without doing the kind of soul searching that terrifies most people.
Forget the idea of an infinite all knowing God...we do our damnedest to hide from God, others and mostly ourselves. We justify, we write off and we delay...because we're afraid of being seen for who we are:
Imperfect.t be
Blemished.
Broken.
Needy.
Adrift.
But part of being human means that we need something bigger than ourselves.
Community for one.
And having an insane number of novelists writing with me has helped make this year something special.
I've never had this much back and forth interaction and feel I have genuinely made some friends.
As always the choice is ours of what to do next.
Where we go.
What we do.
I hope you all have an equally revelatory experience with this writing stuff.
I know I have.
It can just be so hard to express it.
Good luck.
