Writing is getting harder and harder. The (self-imposed) pressure to produce brilliant writing and to always be getting better can be a crippling burden. <br /><br />Something that helps me, when I feel the pressures weighing down and the voices of the doubts growing louder, is to remind myself that "My identity is in Christ." In Christ and not in a perfectly crafted sentence. He loves me whether I write the next Great American Novel or a whole lot of stuff that never sees the light of day. We can write with freedom (not necessarily "ease")because our worth and our identities are not determined by the words we write or whether or not we (and others) deem those words to be "worthwhile." Our identities are established in One who is steadfast and everlasting and abounding in love. It's a reminder I personally need every, single moment of every, single day. <br /><br />Now I think I shall go find myself a timer and give your little trick a try. Anne Elisabeth, thank you so much for sharing. As always your honesty and openness about both the triumphs and the trials are encouraging and humbling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820665085326270860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-52691941379631951492014-05-23T22:42:22.318-04:002014-05-23T22:42:22.318-04:00Such a candid and excellent post, Mrs. Anne Elisab...Such a candid and excellent post, Mrs. Anne Elisabeth. I love your trick of timing yourself in order to get some writing done.<br /><br />I know I echo everyone else, but I certainly believe God has given you an extraordinary talent. Each story you've presented has inspired me beyond words. I have cried, laughed and simply marveled at the complexity of Goldstone Wood and its all-too real characters. You're series and blog have provided me with avenues of exploring my own creativity, (I've never shared so many short stories, poems and, now even an original song), with any other author before. There's just something about Goldstone Wood that helps my inhibitions to fly away. Believe me, no other series has ever done that for me. Most importantly, you've helped me turn to Scripture and appreciate even more God's Holy Word and His work within our lives. When an author does that, I believe that's what matters.<br /><br />Will stop gushing now. Please, please take some time to relax, and know that we all judge ourselves harsher than others judge us. We're our own worst enemies in all walks of life, including our creativity. God bless you.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-28325861589967345252014-05-23T20:42:55.234-04:002014-05-23T20:42:55.234-04:00Everything you've published has been so God in...Everything you've published has been so God inspired.

I'm sure you've just been exhausting yourself. Such a delight to hear that you discovered Draven's Light wasn't as bad as you thought!<br /><br />Your focus, drive, and determination is jaw-dropping and so inspiring. Though we've been missing you, it's a delight to hear that the writing is coming along! Be sure to give yourself some relaxing breaks.<br /><br />Hugs!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674350834544871474noreply@blogger.com
