@Jess No problem. That’s what the Body of Christ is for, right? 🙂

@jess Whoa! That’s amazing. Yeah, it does it for me when I post poems too. Can you tell me how to do one? What are the steps? What makes you choose what to put next?

@jess I don’t mind. I tend to sit in front of my computer until inspiration hits me and then I write a poem. 🙂

@kate-flournoy @daeus @dragon-snapper I got 99 words written and that finished a poem for me.
@jess I can keep going with you. 🙂 -

Greta replied to the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@Jess That doesn’t sound bad at all. It’s not a sin to be depressed. I have a cousin who had depression for a while, and she’s a Christian. Following Jesus doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to have hurt and hardships in our lives, so I don’t think it’s “wrong” to be a Christian and be depressed. Jesus didn’t look down at you and think, “Why is…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@Jess that’s not terrible at all. I’ve never really struggled with depression, but I completely understand how writing could be an escape, and that’s okay. It’s good to get away now and then. Even if it’s only a virtual vacation. 😉
Not to mention writing can almost be therapeutic— as @Spradlin said, if I haven’t written for longer than normal…[Read more] -
Daeus replied to the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@jess I can totally sympathise. For me, it’s not so much escaping to another world, but I get depressed too and my writing is one of the things that feels concrete, and is always there for me to go to, and won’t change no matter what is happening, and seems to keep getting better even if I do have setbacks in other areas. I can throw myself into…[Read more]

@jess You’re not the only one like that. I love acting and sometimes I have trouble remembering what’s really and what’s not. I dream impossible dreams and waste a lot of my time thinking about the future. I guess that might be why Christ said not to worry about tomorrow. Think about today.

Hey, everyone!
I was just thinking about writing (granted, I’m always thinking about writing, but that’s beside the point). Why do we do it? Why do we want to put a bunch of words onto a page; make remixes of the Dictionary? What motivates us?
Writer’s Block, in my opinion, is just lack of motivation, so, I was thinking that each of us writers…[Read more] -
