Thanks, Tammicko. And I too “pray that God will continue to bless you and that you would be successful in all your endeavors.”

Love how you share that God orchestrates us to be writers as He is the one who wrote our story. I have loved to write ever since I was a little girl but am just now attempting it as a profession. It is hard, most times not receiving encouragement but knowing He is pleased and called me to this helps a lot. I pray that God will continue to bless you and that you would be successful in all your endeavors.

There is so much here to devour and learn from and it’s so lyrically expressed too. I particularly love these words: “It takes that long in the school of living to learn the lyrics and melody of the unique song you have to sing to the world” – just beautiful.
You have many great practical suggestions to offer any writer from the novice to the more experienced. It is heartening to see how blogging is fast becoming a tool to perfect one’s craft as well as a medium for expressing the writer’s voice.
The reminder that God is the One who gifts us with creativity and is the person we should be listening to the most is great advice in expressing our own unique voice to the world because: “Your life is a story being written by God”.
Thank you for these wise words, Anita. We need to hear them! 🙂
