#4:  Take time to be a blessing to other writers.

#3:  Embrace contentment while pursuing excellence.

  1. Good reminders–thank you, Larry!

  2. I like many of these – especially #5. One of my favorite Biblical phrases is “stewards of the mysteries of God”. Stories are certainly mysteries to convey with care.

    Thanks for the post.
