The Turtle on a Fence Post by Diana Flegal

 “Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help.”  Alex Haley

 Alex Haley kept a picture of a turtle on a fence post in his office to remind him he didn't get where he was without some help.

The winners of the Golden Scroll were announced this week as well as the finalists in the ACFW Genesis contest.  Many of the authors on these lists received help along the way at some juncture in their journey.

Let's give a shout out today to those that have been an encouragement and a help. It might be a teacher, a presenter at a writers conference or your mother or dad, great aunt or cousin.  We didn't get where we are by ourselves.

My mentor, boss and friend Joyce Hart's dedication and stick-to-itiveness has inspired me to stay at my desk and continue to do what I can for my authors.  It means a lot to me to know that Joyce and her husband support me in prayer as well as having advised me along the way in my agenting journey. Thank you Joyce!

Who is it that has been a help to you?

Happy Wednesday all,
Diana
