Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 05.14.2006

Leave any prayer requests 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 or email me. If I forgot your prayer request, email me. 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 cheated this week—I copied and pasted most of the prayer requests because I’m so busy—but I did pray them all as I read through them.]

Thank you Lord, for your love and grace.

Comfort those who are grieving, Lord. Give them exactly what they need.

Help Heather with her new client and help her add 18K to her manuscript.

Please help Pammer find time for her writing. Give her discipline, focus, motivation, strength.

I pray that Squirl’s surgery will go well and smoothly, and that her hip will be healed completely. Thank you for this new opportunity—please help her get a contract soon.

Give Sharon H. energy, strength and creativity to work on her new project.

Help Lori K.’s recovery go smoothly and quickly.

I pray for even more open doors for Gina H.’s writing.

Please help Myra’s move go smoothly and quickly. Be with Missy in her new job, and give her strength. Continue to pursue Mariah. Please heal Tina’s son’s ankle quickly. Take care of Carolyn, her family, and their housing stresses. Heal Pam’s son’s collarbone quickly, and help him not to get sick from the pain meds. I pray for physical healing on all the SAYSFers.

Thank you for Cathy’s request from an agent. Please continue to affirm her writing and help her to keep her eyes on your glory.

Heal Sigrun in both her body and her family. Please give her wisdom about her right arm pain, what she should do about it. Help her to keep her spirits up and to trust completely, joyfully, thankfully in you.

Let your hand be over each of LaShaunda’s submissions.

Please keep Ruth A.’s Mom, Dad and brother safe during their trip to Israel. I also pray for your strength over Ruth at work. Please ease the tension and give her wisdom.

Let your persecuted church bring you glory, Lord.

Thank you for the faithful prayers of my friends for me! Thank you for helping me to write more today, and continue to enable me to write and finish this manuscript by my deadline. I can only do this by your power, Lord.

Cover us all with your love and power. Amen.

TMI:

Writing: Okay, I have decided (since this is a self-imposed deadline) that I have until 11:59 pm on Monday, May 15th, right? Right? Keep the prayers coming!

I assumed you meant 11:59 pm 5/15 Camy...that's a FULL day after all and you have the right to take advantage of every single nanosecond!! :)
Thanks so much for the prayer. The family is safe and enjoying their trip, and as of last Wednesday when I left work for a few much-needed days away, things were doing better. I go back on Wednesday, so we'll see...thanks for the prayer covering, I appreciate it so much!!

Hi Camy,
I don't know if you remember me but I gave you a shout on my blog and you wrote in. I was just thinking as I read this entry, "what a beatiful woman you come across..."
And of course, God Bless

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...
