To be totally honest, I almost started crying as I read through this thread. I’ve had a really tough weekend emotionally, doubting everything I’ve been working on with my writing + my future. My mom was talking to another parent about how I “know what I want to do” and up until this past Friday, I thought I did but I somehow ended up going on a…[Read more]

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]

@igridrd AAAAAAGH ITS PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

@dekreel You can draw her too! I’d love to see what you think she looks like.

Thank you, @warrioroftherealm! That’s really helpful!

(Confession: I am “fascinated with swords” [see signature] but am actually rather a noob at swordfighting.)

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 *kindly refrains from ‘petting’ you* God has given you the amazing talent of writing, and what you do with it is between you and Him. No one else. Someone else’s standard of getting published, writing the deepest and most profound character arc ever to grace paper, or writing 58,231.2 words in a day isn’t your problem. No one should look…[Read more]

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.

When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”

Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[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.

@dekreel This topic is two years old, back when Sarah was still with us.

@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! 😀
