Beautiful writing and words that ring truth with most, if not all, of those of us who dare to call ourselves writers. My turn on the blog is Saturday and I'm scanning my documents hoping I've made some notes for a post because I have no idea what to write about. God is faithful, though. He always gives me something, just one more idea, to keep going. I pray He continues to do that for you, too.Nikki Studebaker Barcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661375032806687908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-37332494037213661912012-06-11T15:14:25.440-04:002012-06-11T15:14:25.440-04:00Many thanks for giving courage to my heart courage...Many thanks for giving courage to my heart courage and balm to my soul.Renata Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425818417982384669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-78894899092948044912012-06-11T13:50:55.869-04:002012-06-11T13:50:55.869-04:00Excellent post.

It's how I teach elementary students through high school to write so that they don't freeze when confronted with a blank page. They have the choice whether to use a prompt or write what they want. <br /><br />Write on! Never quit. Don't let the devil lie to you because someone needs to read what you have to say.Karla Akinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989639592455525499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-43606856131278445682012-06-11T05:44:40.624-04:002012-06-11T05:44:40.624-04:00Mary,

The story didn't die, it's waiting it's time, but what I came out of that period with was the reason why I was writing. Someone will always disapprove. If I'm writing for approval then that's a whole lot different than writing to please my Lord. Now I write, because I'm a writer. I write because that's what I God has purposed me to do. What he does with it I'm leaving in His hands. All I have to do is obey this one day, each and everyday. Take heart! Good bread has not only a time to rise (wait)but a time to bake (trials/success). God will prove Himself faithful. Be blessed.Mary Marie Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140800346217363866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-62469860641703274222012-06-10T17:34:28.549-04:002012-06-10T17:34:28.549-04:00Renata,

(Did I get that across loud and clear enough?)<br /><br />I seem to get to the half way point on my second novel and then go a while without writing (and I'm in that while). Meaning my first novel is ready to go? No, that's being edited...or, more accurately, waiting to be edited (which I may get to sometime before the Cubs win a World Series and we have a triple crown winner). So what am I doing? Thinking about starting another novel!<br /><br />Actually, I'd appreciate your prayers. I'm at the point of questioning whether I'm supposed to be writing. As well as having a wife who's a journalist/Bible study writer -- I try to encourage her writing, and feel hers can accomplish more than mine. May I'm having a combination of a Mid-write/Mid-life crisis. (I doubt I'll have mid-wife crisis, but I've had a mid-riff crisis for years. Well, at least I've accomplished my goal of making my adolescence lasting until my mid-life crisis.)<br /><br />Have a blessed day.<br /><br />JeffJeffrey C.

Now I'm crawling back into the sunshine, but pretty much sticking to the shade for awhile. How good that God cares for us on a personal level and holds us by His hand even when we want to slink away!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888191800120017375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-87498733345314770082012-06-10T07:42:37.275-04:002012-06-10T07:42:37.275-04:00This is a lovely post.
