Man, I figured out one reason why this book series is so tough to write...
I am not just wrestling with the normal elements of writing; style, theme, plot, characters, setting, voice etc, I am developing an expose on human nature and, well, the spiritual realm. It isn't just about telling a story, I want to tell the story with truth and validity. I want it to not just be a good read, but something that cuts through to the heart of man; you.
So, the responsibility is huge. I can't just write a story, I have to write it well and more importantly, I have to write truth. I feel very convicted to not just write a great piece of fiction, but one that exposes Godly characteristics and this life of faith.
That is a bit overwhelming. Okay, it's A LOT overwhelming. But, regardless of my lackluster blogging efforts, I do still plug on, writing these thin, invisible threads of human nature into stories and snippets to eventually be a wonderful story.
PRAY for me, I need it right now!
Love, Loves

ReplyDeleteI wish I had some profound statement to say to make you feel better. But I don't. However I do know that when this novel comes out it it's not just going to be another good read, it is going to radically change lives. God has this, Am. He desires His truth to be shown through your words, refining the fire till it is a perfect reflection of Him. Love ya and covered ya in prayer! Watch out! :)
