Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.

Proverbs 22:29

I read that Proverb in my quiet time this morning and it really stuck out to me :D. Those who are skilled, work hard and diligently will stand before kings…that’s pretty amazing, though I don’t think it always…[Read more]

I’m so sorry that you have to go through this! it’s happened to me before, and it’s horrible. I have to say though, I tend to have the opposite problem…I compare everyone else’s writing/whatever it is to my own and I get really arrogant. So…we all have our flaws.

But seriously, God made you to love writing! he maybe didn’t make you…[Read more]

Wow. Guys, I am literally tearing up  X’)

@jane-maree

God doesn’t make mistakes.

So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!

@that_writer_girl_99

As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]

@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.

And much as I hate to admit this, that thought drives me absolutely bonkers.

It’s not that I’m jealous of him, just that I loathe…[Read more]

Yes, you are. @ethryndal

Noted. @ethryndal

Off of the amusement we get by teasing INTJs for their heartlessness. @ethryndal

Here’s the thing. I get you, really, really, really understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been in this boat ever since joining KP. It’s funny how easy it is to compare yourself to others, isn’t it? You’re so confident in yourself then one day, boom! your confidence up and walks away. So rude. 

Like I said, self-doubt has been a struggle for…[Read more]

@Dekreel

Hey. Look. I’m not going to say you’re an amazing writer, but I am going to say that if you like writing and if it’s something you enjoy then it’s a gift. It’s a gift from God.

He’s blessed you with that gift and you don’t have to be a higher standard, a better writer, as good as ‘so-and-so’, because He’s given you the gift in exactly…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong  Well, here’s Amber.  😉

Oh whoops I didn’t see that @dekreel was already going to…*shrugs*  Can I draw her anyway?

@aislinn-mollisong  *facedesk*

@aislinn-millisong  I will do her!

@aislinn-mollisong  YES I WANT TO DRAW EMBER! WOOHOO!

Ahem, sorry. *sheepish grin*  I’d like to give it a shot 😀

Ohh, unless you want Ari to do it…

@daeus  Ahhh, Oops, my bad X’D

Well, it’s still a good idea XD

@supermonkey42  I’m impressed by you going through all of the archives! Do you read every single post?

@sage-g  *gasps*  You are really talented.  She looks great!!!!! 🙂  And thank you.

@valtmy  Sure! Mind putting it in record/suggest/comment mode for us? 🙂

@daeus  I need to read more! I’m in! Go for it!! 😀

And I agree with @spradlin — a chapter a week. I’m busy

I’m excited for this idea!!

Spradlin — Wait, you’re still here?! I though you left KP! 😀

@Daeus Yay! *lemonade and cheesecake for all*

I definitely prefer “Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”.
