I asked for prayer about a month ago, and ever since things have turned around so quickly. Well, tonight, i got the biggest news of my life.
I had a graphic novel picked up for publication a couple of weeks ago, which i was able to share earlier. Well, that same publisher picked up a short novel of mine for Epublication and picked up a poetry book of mine for publication also!
These steps are kind of small, but they are so big at the same time. So, for all the prayers and support, thank you.
God answers prayers and dreams come true!

Great news, ESMW! Wish you the best in your future with these works. After reading your quick explanation of your username, it's obvious the talent of writing is there. Glad to hear that you've got some attention on it now.

Funny you bring up "Fifty Shades" - I had a (very small) role in a book that's currently on the iTunes charts that was created specifically as a response to/parody of the "Fifty Shades" series occupying the top of the iTunes charts. This basically gives the rundown on the project...

Prayer should be a very important part of all our lives. I only wish more people realized that. I'm very happy for you.

Guys, thank you so much for all the kind words! This morning was one of the best days to wake up to ever! A couple of things:
1. Prayer is vitality important, i think. I have to admit, i wrestle with it, just from a logistic stand point, but i believe in it.
2. It sounds cheesy, but is massively important to never give up on your dream.
3. God still works supernaturally, in a very real tangible way, at least from all the evidence i have - and if you want more about the whole reason I stand firm in that please fill free to message me and i will tell the story.
4. To all that are interested, i will let you know when it is available.
From the go, I said i wanted any of those who prayed for me to have a portion of the blessings i received because of those prayers, and i still want and pray for that. I am truly grateful for the support you guys showed during that moment in my life, and during this moment. One of the first things i thought of when i got the news was this community, and i think that is a very special thing. Again, thank you so much.
Aaron
