I Am A Winner!

I won! I am a winner! It's not often I get to say those words, but I acheived what I set out to do and finished NaNo with one day to spare. My how wonderful it feels!

It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it. I know I have to find an ending to my story yet, then edit the piece, but it is all possible if I set my goals and keep going.


I want to make new goals and accomplish what I set out to do. That's what winning did for me. It created in me new possiblties, new dreams and new goals. I am thankful that God saw me through my writing. Many days I struggled with words to write, many prayers were said and I always found the words.

In all things I feel thankful. I am a winner and I feel great tonight. Tomorrow is only a dream away and all dreams are possible when I stretch myself to acheive.

Are you dreaming about something? Do you seek to do something you once thought impossible? All you have to do is step out and try. Go for it.

Tip Toe Thru Writing

I have found my character in my NaNo challenge this month, but seem weak in where I am going with her. She emerges slowly and the writing is starting to flow. I have been tip toeing through the process, fighting no one but my self.

Being someone who loves to write, I ask myself why I don't write more. I think we all tip toe through life, fearing our gifts, or things we want to do. God has given me a gift, yet I hide it away. I may not be a perfect writer, I may have to do a lot of editing, but I have a heart for writing.

Today my prayer is that God will allow me to use whatever gifts He has given me. I pray that I will come out of hiding and step into the light of what waits for me.

Today I will write my character into the arms of what she fears and see where it takes her.

I hope all you other writers out there are discovering new things about yourself. May God bless you.

Struggling to Write

It's a horrible thing to happen to someone who loves to write, you find you can't. It's like a clogged drain that has grown rusty. I seldom write anymore and I think that may be the problem. When you don't practice the very thing you enjoy, you get out of practice.

Today, I am going to pray about it. I know all things are possible through God and if we seek him, he answers.

Do you have something you wish to do but struggle with? Why not call upon God and listen for His answers.

Words Waiting to be Written

I am stumped, truly stumped. I am not sure of what to write and today is the first day of the challenge. I have wracked my brain for the last few weeks, knowing what I don't want to write yet not finding the truth of what I need to write.

Words are locked inside me, stuck, trying hard to escape into the air.
I sit frozen, staring at a blank page. "Just write" I tell myself, "It will come."

So, off I go to pound the keys praying God sends me words.Words that are the window to my soul.
