Sometimes, I am just happy to take new ground. To revise what I have written and to add some new words. Keep on, keeping on, and if you can, take a class or two.

I wrote about this before too and wondered if I was ‘out there’

Pray for me as God has given me a children’s book and I feel frozen. As if I don’t know where to begin. Your post about goals helps…maybe write 200 words a day?

I just need your prayers I wait on God but move when He tells me to and stop being scared.

Thanks, Kathy. Not exactly dictated, but it feels as if dictated, a combination of my unconscious, and I hope God’s spirit, working together and writing faster than what the conscious mind could manage.

I feel increasingly drawn to your posts, which are truly from God’s heart, in collaboration with yours. They are an oasis.

I am new at writing and in my first attempts, it was very laborious. When I found ideas and thoughts that were sifted through the filter of prayer, there was a flow of words. I realized then how the Word is operational in communicating God’s thoughts in my writing. Thank you for sharing your experience of relying on God’s living Word to convey the meaning in all you write. May the Lord give us the wisdom and insight as we continue to fulfill God’s calling on our lives.
