Loved...Save a hug for me at the conference, Millie! Loved your post. I'm a huge believer in that divine inspiration. One of the main questions non-writers always ask me is, "Where in the world do you get your ideas?" Well, I love it when they ask that question because I can tell them my writing in inspired by our gracious Heavenly Father. There's simply no other way to explain it. I can get ideas from the "world" by reading the newspaper, listening to the news, etc., but the Lord is definitely my co-author in everything I write. See you soon! Blessings, and thanks again for a great post!JoAnn Durginnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-14936285281202861632010-09-10T12:43:07.604-04:002010-09-10T12:43:07.604-04:00Millie:
First, your story is inspirational to me, ...Millie:<br />First, your story is inspirational to me, because I was in the same situation in grad school at IU a few years ago. This literature prof's favorite soapbox was demeaning the Bible, because he claimed it had no significance as literature. Unfortunately, this prof gave me my the only C I ever earned in grad school, and I had to take the class over again--but with a different prof...of course.<br /><br />Second, I love inspiration, and it comes to me between 4 and 8 am every morning when I sit down to write. If it fails to arrive, I go ahead and write without it. <br /><br />For me, it's much like Moses when the people saw his face shining so bright they couldn't look at him.... Moses didn't know his face was shining. <br /><br />Sometimes when I think I'm inspired, the writing must be for me only, because it doesn't seem to resonate with others. Yet, other times I think my writing is poor that is when others seem to get something of value from it. I can't figure it out...so I just keep working and doing my part and believe that He'll do His part. :)Kenny Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254793383935357814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-16684077461369642122010-09-10T12:00:29.446-04:002010-09-10T12:00:29.446-04:00Yes, yes, yes!!!

I believe that God inspires me EVERY minute of my writing.<br /><br />Otherwise it wouldn't be on the page!!!Patti Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687666130404407814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-39394009470508090912010-09-10T10:52:33.530-04:002010-09-10T10:52:33.530-04:00I believe in inspiration. I can't tell you how...I believe in inspiration. I can't tell you how many times an idea pops into my head and I have no clue how it got there. (Well yes, it's probably a God thing, but writers who aren't Christians have those moments, too.) Or I'm researching to flesh out an idea I already have, and I find something even better than what I was looking for. But I do have a caveat. If you are writing as a business, you can't wait for inspiration to come. If it isn't there, I sit down and write anyway, and somewhere along the way the inspiration drops in.<br /><br />See you in Indianapolis next week.Kathryn Page Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458122715766846442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-43118098105435870262010-09-10T06:14:21.269-04:002010-09-10T06:14:21.269-04:00I am looking forward to seeing you also.I am looking forward to seeing you also.Story and Logic Media Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317731231950753140noreply@blogger.com
