How would it chang emy life?  My schedule would change first and foremost, andchange gloriously.  I would not spend nine hours a day scratching out a living, helping someone else's business grow.  I would go to the library and do research in a real book, and not be frorced to surf the net so much.  I would learn more every day.  And I would exercise early every morning before settling down to write.  I would go to more Christian writer's conferences and take time to read for pleasure as well as for learning.  I would absorb everything I could get my hands on to make myself a better writer.  But most of all, I would wirte without answering the phone.  I would write and rewirte without anyone asking me what I'm doing.  Without interruption, and forgetitng what I just put down.  I would write because there is so much inside me that needs to be expressed without being annoyingly verbal.  I would laugh and cry out loud, and not worry about what anyone esle thinks about it.  I would write and read, and learn and grow.

How would it change the lives of the people around me?  Well, if I could not fail, it would only get better.  They would put up with rejection as deeply as I would.  They would rejoice when a piece or a book sold.  They would put up with deadlines and tolerate my tendency to teach other people what I learn, whether they want to know it or not.  I have a sweet daughter and a marvelous hasband, and I'm very blessed.  Blessed beyond description.  Really blessed. 

Yes, if I could do one thing and knew I could not fail, I would write and write well.
