Boarding the plane, I felt dazed and numb.<\/p>\n<p>Halfway through the flight, <strong>I pulled out a manila folder my friend Diane had put in my hands at the airport<\/strong>.

I think <strong>that is where I slot in to God\u2019s purposes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me tell you what happened with my first OYAN novel, <em>Starr\u2019s Time<\/em>.<\/strong> During the months leading up to writing it, I had to help my daughter work through text conversations with <strong>two distraught young girls who were contemplating suicide<\/strong>. Others in her circle of friends were <strong>cutting or starving themselves<\/strong>. With the exception of one, these kids were all home-schooled teens from Christian homes with loving parents.

When I finished, I sent my novel off to <strong>as many young teen girls as would read it<\/strong>. Some were polite, some were enthusiastic, and others avoided giving me any response at all. My own daughters were very honest \u2013 they found it too preachy.<\/p>\n<p>I know <em>Starr\u2019s Time<\/em> has many flaws; as Daniel Schwabauer, creator of OYAN, says, <strong>a first novel is definitely a novel to learn on<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But one of my readers (or <em>victims<\/em> as my husband would call them!) was twelve-year-old Sarah\u2014I have changed her name to protect her privacy. She told my daughter she <strong>loved my book<\/strong>, she had <strong>read it \u201cabout fifty times\u201d and she had just loaned it to another friend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On another occasion, Sarah\u2019s mother and I were planning a surprise for our girls. Sarah tried to guess what the surprise might be. Her mother later told me her guess:<strong> \u201cOh I know. It\u2019s Mrs. Fraser\u2019s new book! I can\u2019t wait to read it!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I felt blessed. But wait, there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n<p>I mulled over <strong>why Sarah would like <em>Starr\u2019s Time<\/em> so much<\/strong> and I realized a couple of things. Sarah\u2019s family had <strong>experienced a tragic loss.<\/strong> Towards the end of my story, there is a joyful family reunion with loved ones in heaven. I would love to think Sarah derived some comfort from this scene.\u00a0Coincidentally, <strong>I gave Starr\u2019s older brother the same name as Sarah\u2019s oldest brother, and the most significant mother figure has the same name as Sarah\u2019s mother<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All these things made me wonder\u2026.<strong>did the Lord orchestrate those little coincidences because He wanted me to write that book just for Sarah?<\/strong> The thought makes my heart sing.<\/p>\n<p>Recently another friend asked to read <em>Starr\u2019s Time<\/em>. To my surprise she loved it. She shared it with someone with <strong>a ministry to troubled teens<\/strong> who is now <strong>looking at it with the intention of reading it aloud to these teens<\/strong>. As you can imagine, I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled.<\/p>\n<p>I have to be honest. <strong>I have struggled with the fact that my novels probably won\u2019t ever be published.<\/strong> (Then I remind myself that if they were, I would have to have a book launch or conduct author talks at local libraries. As a self-confessed introvert, public speaking in any form makes me cringe!)<\/p>\n<p>But this <strong>doesn\u2019t mean that my writing cannot be used in God\u2019s kingdom<\/strong>. Over the years, I have written <strong>to make people laugh, to encourage, to touch hearts, to reveal truth, and to try to communicate the character of the God I\u2019m so crazy about.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jesus made it clear that the Lord has endowed individuals with varying degrees of ability and resource. But <strong><em>whenever<\/em> we willingly put that talent to use for His purposes, He will take it and multiply it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are <strong>a one-talent writer with a heart for God\u2019s kingdom<\/strong>, you may not end up with a bestseller.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, <strong>you might just produce a dog-eared manila folder of writing that becomes one person\u2019s life-long treasure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1114 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/12\/Ange-Fraser-resized-color-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"218\" \/><strong>About Angie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Angie Fraser is a teensy weensy bit older than your typical OYANer.
