I’m doing something drastic.

Something crazy.

I suppose I shall start at the beginning…

Our youth group is going to a big conference this summer, and we are putting together a fundraiser this weekend.

Everyone in our youth group is supposed to bring a silent auction item…

Several people are talented in woodworking, baking, etc…but what do I have to offer? What do I have that would be unique? Real? Raw, and personal? As I pondered this, the main thing that kept resurfacing was WRITING. What if I put together a collection of stories and Bible verses, straight from my heart (along with a candle, hot cocoa and blankets…I’m planning on putting together a basket for the auction)?

No. I kept hearing these voices in my head. They don’t value your words. You shouldn’t put yourself out there like that. You should just bake some cookies and call it good. Don’t waste your time. Nobody will even read it.

Blah blah blah. Stuff like that.

At church this morning, I felt the Holy Spirit, telling me to do something BIG. I felt a pull to words, a desire to WRITE. Well, I got home, and all my motivation was GONE.

I kept making excuses or all that as to why I couldn’t or shouldn’t write. I kept losing motivation, and my computer even kept glitching out! I started to feel like the enemy was legit trying to STOP ME FROM WRITING THIS!!!

So I got to my computer and just started typing. Digging through old notebooks. Collecting old short stories.

And I realized how powerful this could be.

So far, I’m just piecing this together, poem by poem, old story by old story, cringy writing by cringy writing (lol).

It’s pretty rough, but I really believe that this is a vision God has given me. At this point, it’s not even about the money this would make at the silent auction. I want it to bless whoever will take it home!!!

And here’s where you guys come in. I need help and inspiration and accountability to get these stories done by THURSDAY NIGHT!!! I’m going to attatch the link and I need help to go over and smooth over what I have already.  (ignore the bullet points, those are going to be actual stories later)

It’s kind of scattered as of right this second, but I would so appreciate your thoughts!!!!

Every story has a message I’m trying to get across and I want this to truly make an impact on whoever this goes to. So if you could help that would be great <3

Also, this isn’t going to be a novel. More like a collection of works that intertwine somehow.

I mainly just need accountability, but I would love your guys’ thoughts because I want this to be GOOD!!! It is going to a silent auction after all hahahaha

SO please tear it apart as well XD

First off, that sounds awesome.

Second, Thursday? That’s a pretty tight crunch, but you can do this. Right? Right.

I’ll read through and give what thoughts I have ect. and (if you’d like) typos/errors I catch. What type of accountability do you want? I can email you daily, you can email me, whatever you need. Enthusiastic peptalking? I can do that. XD

Oh my goodness! GO FOR IT GIRL!

 

I’ll do what I can, but I just sat down and stared at the wall and considered the amount of things I must get done this week…. so I may not be able to read everything. BUT! I will try to post encouragement and breathe down your nekc every day until Thursday. XD!

No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.

@koshka

Yeah…I think mostly I need to write like two more pieces, and then it’s just editing the rest. So hopefully this is doable XDXD *hopefully**

I think I just need enthusiastic pep talking right now, but emailing would help a lot too!!!

@ellette-giselle

That’s totally fine!!! Just don’t let me give up lollll

That’s the main thing I’m worried about, that I’ll give up when this could have been really cool.
