I'm currently struggling to pick between two stories I've invested a lot of time into. One is about a boy who loses his best friend and he loses value in life; then he realizes that life is a gift, and he's on earth for a purpose, he needs to fulfill. The other is about a girl who has just lost her entire family in a fire. Fueld with anger, she tries to find the man responsible for her pain and suffering. In the story she learns that God has a design for life, and she is obligated to love and forgive, not hate and retaliate. <br />They're both modern-day stories, I know I can write, but something keeps holding me back. For the first, it's wondering, do I have what it takes to write about a boy's emotions? With the second, do I have what it takes to write about the depth of of human emotion. This second one is probably the most dramatic plot, I've ever drafted. I'd appreciate people's opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548721078540212254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-47701979442848822792016-05-16T06:04:15.947-07:002016-05-16T06:04:15.947-07:00Wise words, which I will read again a few times an...Wise words, which I will read again a few times and pray about what action to take. <br /><br />I get paralysed by depression and anxiety quite regularly, and it impacts on my ability to write. Those episodes of weeks to months rob me of motivation and brain power, and when I recover it's hard to remember where I was up to and what the point was ... it's like I need to make myself a cheat sheet to remember how and what and why. Writing can be a blessing and energiser but sometimes it can be a trigger for a mood change. I write a bit through it, mostly in my journal and sometimes self-help articles (for my own benefit, and sometimes for sharing on my encouragement page). <br /><br />There's a lot of excellent food for thought in what you wrote, so thank you!Vanessahttps://www.facebook.com/glowheartmindandsoul/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-56686866977021442462016-05-12T13:57:09.654-07:002016-05-12T13:57:09.654-07:00Hey Tessa!

David knew whose he was and he relied on that yo defeat the giant. He trusted God who got him this far. <br /><br />And that's what I have to do. Trust that He will meet me when I come to the keyboard, when I step out of the fears and insecurities. <br /><br />But like you say writing is our form of obedience otherwise we will never see our desire become fulfilled. <br /><br />Thank you again!Regine Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949608340324185646noreply@blogger.com
