God is in Control

 


There is so much going on this week. I have been so blessed to be connecting with so many authors and publishers lately. There will definitely be plenty to fill both the November and March editions. The plan going forward is that if both the Winter and Spring editions are well received I will move forward with a Summer or Fall Edition. This would give readers 3 editions per year to enjoy.


Looking to the future can be daunting. With everything I am also responsible for, I honestly do not know how I am able to do this in the first place, but the Lord is providing. Have you ever experienced something like this? The Lord pushing you, stretching your abilities, encouraging you that He has something more for you. Psalm 46 talks about how the Lord gives us strength in times of trouble, but what about strength to complete your purpose? Whenever I feel unsure or weak when it comes to the way forward, I remember that the Lord is in control. Not just of the grand sweeping gestures of the world, but of the tiny details of every existence. How tiny does a detail have to be to be beyond the Lord's notice? The truth? There is nothing too tiny. The very molecules of the cells of your body are not beyond His notice. That type of control is both awe inspiring and comforting.


If God is in control of everything down to the very building blocks of existence, then if He asks it of you, you can be confident that He will provide.



Our Community Activity for this week is:

FAN ART CONTEST EXTENDED


​

We had an alarming lack of submissions for the Fan Art Contest and I wanted to reiterate that Character Artists are WELCOME to submit Character Art to this contest. This could not just win you an Amazon Gift Card, but also advertising for your business.

Book Fans can also submit any art they want from their favorite book as well.


Submissions Now Open Through September 31, 2021 at CleanFictionMagazine.com

​

On October 1, 2021, voting for the best fan art will begin! All of the photos sent will appear on the "Vote" page and anyone who is interested can vote on the winner. The winner will receive a $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD and will have their fan art printed in the Winter Edition 2021 of Clean Fiction Magazine. The TOP 6 (the winner is included in the 6) will also be printed in the Winter Edition along with the characters name and the book where the character comes from. If you win and do not want your real name printed, that is perfectly fine. Good luck and have fun! May the BEST Book Fan Art Win!



DON'T FORGET!

It's a Beautiful Day

Image
If I am being honest, things in my personal life lately have been pretty stressful. People I love were having major surgery, friends of mine are hurting, my kiddos were sick, and in the last week, 3 women close to me have either had a baby, are actively having a baby, or are trying to save their pregnancy. I don't know how you deal with stress, but even though I am worlds better at it than I once was, I am not great at it. Others' pain and hardship weigh on me as if it were my own. Lately, I have been floundering under the weight, but in the midst of the hardest day, God sent me a smile in the shape of a young boy singing a song. And now I want to share the words with you because I am well aware that as long as we live in this world and not the next, we will have strife and hardship. This is your reminder that no matter what is going on in your life right now, you are not alone. Lord, I thank you for sunshine. Thank you for rain. Thank you for joy. Thank you for pain. It's

Realm Makers Conference

Image
I missed you guys last week! The conference took all of my focus and energy. I went. I saw. I talked and talked and talked and talked...you get the idea. Being an extrovert wading in a sea of introverts, I must admit to being rather intimidated. Not that I don't know how to talk to introverted individuals (my husband is a super introvert after all), but it usually takes some time for people to warm up to my rather boisterous personality. I tried to curb my enthusiasm so as not to frighten people away and waste what little time I had with each person. I focused on making every interaction count by both being myself (not some sort of marketing robot) and offering what I could to help/support their business. If you missed it, being an author is a small business and if you know me you know that I LOVE supporting small businesses. And there I was, SURROUNDED by small businesses that I could help. (insert glee here) Overall, it was a good experience. I didn't get the benefit of going

A Little Bit of Background

Image
I hope that everyone is having a great week and happy Wednesday to you all! I am pleased to say that the Book Cosplay Contest is in full swing, but of course we could always use more entrants (You have until July 31, 2021)! If you feel so inclined, feel free to pop over to CleanFictionMagazine.com for more information. With that out of the way, I am going to give you an update on the progress of compiling all the wonderful content that I know that you are going to love! I just finished writing up a review on an exciting almost 400 page Sci Fi book that I am SOOOO excited to share. I am also trying to connect with great clean fiction authors to bring you exclusive author interviews. If you enjoy the slight silliness that I include in my book reviews, you will be pleased to know that Clean Fiction Magazine is going to be more of that same light hearted content. Here is some background about me and why a publication like this is right up my alley. I currently work part time for my family&
