Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.01.2006

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s ring in the New Year with some prayer.

Anybody have prayer requests? Leave them in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request.

Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays. I've got a couple fly-by prayer requests and a growing list.

Father, thank you for a new year, filled with promise and a chance to grow closer to you.

Thank you for bringing Squirl back safely from India. Please give her direction and purpose this coming year. Please heal her leg pain, Lord we ask for your miraculous touch on her body. Give her and her husband your peace and guidance as they deal with his mother.

Continue to cover Pammer with your love and peace as she jumps into the new year. Keep her car running and ease the pain in her tooth.

I pray Julie's lumps are benign--give wisdom to the doctors, and I pray for no delays or complications. Please heal her leg, shoulder and wrists, and help her husband's recovery go swiftly and smoothly. I pray against the spiritual warfare in her life, and ask you to cover her with your peace. Lift her spirits with an awareness of you watching over her.

Please give Heather the discipline, affirmation, and courage to do these books this year. Please also continue to protect her from spiritual warfare, and help her to fight Satan’s lies.

Please give Dineen direction for her writing in 2006. Guide her steps, lead her to the right agent, editor, etc. help her as she writes her new manuscript.

Be with Robin in her new writing adventure, lead and guide her. Thank you for providing for her. Please continue to protect Emily.

Cover Ronie with your peace this week. Help her lift her heart to you in joy.

Help Ron continue to persevere in his writing.

Please provide Gina with the right agent. Be with her as she waits, and continue to bless her.

Please give Crystal direction and affirmation for her writing.

Help Mir continue with her writing and push through. I pray for healing for her ears and her left eye. Please also infuse her with energy and focus.

Help Paula to see more of you this week.

Please help Megan be more productive in her writing time. Please give her confidence and your direction and affirmation for her writing. I also pray you guide her to the right crit partners.

Please comfort Robyn during this time.

I lift up Lori to you and pray for whatever decision she needs to make with her ACL injury after the MRI in January.

Help Donna's next book be yours and not hers.

Help Gail continue to recover from knee surgery smoothly and quickly. Be also with her daughter Brenda during chemo, and I pray you will help treatments go smoothly with minimal discomfort.

Help Janice transition smoothly, and give her wisdom with her daughters. Please provide for her, Lord.

Help Heather G. with finding new friends at school. Lead and guide her, give her your strength and courage and peace. Lead her to girls who will help her depend more on you.

Give wisdom to the doctors Malia goes to about her knee. Please heal her knee and her back. Provide for her and give her your peace about her finances and health.

Thank you that Yim’s teeth feel better. Continue to watch over her, and lead and guide her in the new year to serve you in every way.

Father, please continue to heal Amber from her severe injuries. Thank you that she is showing miraculous signs of recovery.

Please help me continue to heal from my surgery, and help me be productive and disciplined with my writing time. Please heal me from this flu, and help me to persevere despite my discomfort.

Father, I lift up your persecuted church. Continue to reveal yourself to them, protect them, and glorify your name.

Help Julie recover from her cold during break and feel better soon.

Please provide a vehicle for Missy’s husband’s cousin’s family, serving as missionaries in Kenya.

Be with Glynna as she waits on her query. Give her your peace and assurance and you will lead her to the right agent at the right time. I pray JKG will request a full.

Help Tina F. have time to edit her novel and spend time with her family, as well as juggling work.

Be with Becky and help her to somehow find a job that won’t interfere with her schooling and her kids.

To you be all praise, glory, honor. Amen.

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...

Window shopping

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.14.2005 Knee update: I went to the doctor today for a checkup, and saw his assistant. I’ve been concerned because there’s still inflammation in my knee joint, and it’s been almost 4 months since the surgery. She said she’d talk to the doctor about it tomorrow and call me. Sometimes he suggests laying off the PT to see if that causes the inflammation to go away, but I don’t know if that will work because lately I’ve been pretty active outside of PT. At PT today, the therapist did ultrasound and some sort of electrical current on the joint. Hopefully that will make the inflammation start to go down. I’ll know by tomorrow, probably. Writing: Mt. Hermon conference starts this Friday! On Thursday night, I’ll be at the Santana Row Borders bookstore to help out (and hopefully learn a bit, too) at a booksigning for several of the ACFW authors who are attending Mt. Hermon . That should be lots of fun. I had a good brainstorming time at ...

New book idea a la Captain Caffeine

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.14.2009 So my husband, Captain Caffeine, had lunch with a few friends a few days ago. And they asked about my writing, and if I’d been on Oprah yet. (Yeah, right) They then discussed NYT bestselling books, and why can’t Camy write a NYT bestseller. (Sure, let me just open a vein over a blank page and it’ll come right out.) So Captain Caffeine came home with ideas for my new NYT bestselling novel. First it starts with vampires, because Twilight is so hot. But not just any vampires. This one’s an Amish vampire. And he’s not just an Amish vampire, he’s a cop in disguise, infiltrating the Amish community to protect a witness. (Hmm, that storyline sounds familiar ...) But wait! There’s more! To add more conflict and stick with my brand of Asian fiction, we introduce the Tibetan monk! Who joins the Amish community to get away from the pressures of monkhood. But in reality, he’s protecting the Chinese princess on the run, trying to escape from her father’s Hong...

Japanese language learning process in more detail

I blogged a few weeks ago that I’ve jumped back into my Japanese language learning after being lazy and letting it slide. I’ve been keeping my Japanese language study habit for about a month now, and I wanted to blog about my process in more detail. One thing I had noticed about my Japanese is that I tended not to do it if I left it to do at the end of the day. I realized that it was just like my exercise—if I didn’t do it first thing in the morning, it never got done. So I started doing my Japanese right after my exercise in the morning. I treated it like one of my “frogs,” as I read about in the book Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time . The book is based off of a Mark Twain quote: “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” It suggests doing your “frogs”—your important things that you’re likely to procrastinate doing—first thing in the morning in order to get it done, and ...

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...
