WRITING A SPIRITUAL BLOG THAT NO ONE READS

I HAVE MANY BLOGS LINKED TO THIS PAGE FOR WRITERS THAT ARE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE AND I THINK HAVE GOOD CONTENT BUT HARDLY ANYONE SEES THEM UNLESS I USE A WORD LIKE NAKED OR NUDE OR SEXY OR MONEY AND WONDER HOW YOU OVERCAME THAT PROBLEM - LET ME KNOW YOUR TIPS

THAT WAS A HYPOTHETICAL STORY ABOUT $20 - NO ONE HAS EVER PAID FOR MY WRITING FREELANCE

ALTHOUGH PROOFREADING AND EDITING FOR STUDENTS SEEMS TO WORK WELL - EXCEPT YOU NEED TO BE CLOSE TO UNIVERSITIES WITH PROGRAMS YOU CAN WORK FOR AND $20 WILL ONLY COVER ONE ROUND TRIP - WITH WALKING AT ONE END

EATING EVERY OTHER DAY REALLY IS OK

BUT WAS IT REALLY WORTHWHILE TO DO THAT OVER 2 DAYS WHEN IT SEEMS YOU ATE THE SAME AMOUNT IN TOTAL...

YOUR BANK HOLDS YOUR $20 CHEQUE TILL IT CLEARS

YOU PAY TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO THE BANK AGAIN UNTIL IT CLEARS
YOU NEED TRANSPORT COSTS TO GO TO THE CHURCH WITH THE FOOD BANK BUT TODAY IS THE WRONG DAY - YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK AGAIN - YOU WOULD CONSIDER GOING TO CHURCH BUT IF IT IS A CHOICE OF GETTING FOOD OR GOING TO CHURCH WHERE THERE IS NO FOOD YOU KNOW THAT GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU IF HE IS A GOOD GOD -
YOU GO TO THE FOOD BANK AND THEY GIVE YOU A FORM TO FILL OUT AND YOU WAIT A WEEK TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS SHORT OF DONATIONS AS IS EVERY FOOD BANK IN TOWN SO YOU CAN GET A FEW DAYS MAX SO YOU NEED TRANSPORT COSTS TO OTHER FOOD BANKS BUT YOU DID NOT PAY YOUR INTERNET BILL SO HAVE TO GO TO THE LIBRARY TO USE THE FREE INTERNET BUT NEED TRANSPORT COSTS FOR THAT - YOUR PHONE MAY OR MAY NOT STILL WORK IF YOU ARE STILL LIVING SOMEPLACE... AND SO ON BUT HEY - CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WRITING SALE

YOU GOT THAT WRITING JOB FOR $20 - GOOD - IT STILL COSTS MONEY

THEY WRITE YOU A CHEQUE - YOUR BANK CHARGES FOR EVERY TRANSACTION
TO GET TO THE BANK YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION COSTS
TO WRITE SOMETHING YOU NEED WRITING SUPPLIES THAT ARE CLEAN - NO PEE ON THEM

WRITING FOR MONEY COSTS MONEY

WHAT DO I MEAN - THE THINGS WE ASSUME WE HAVE UNTIL WE HAVE NO MONEY
TRANSPORTATION TO A LIBRARY OR WORKPLACE OR PROSPECTIVE WORKPLACE
INTERNET ADDRESS OR CONNECTION OR TRAVEL TO PUBLIC SERVICE FREE INTERNET
LAUNDRY FOR CLOTHING OR BUYING CLOTHING OR TRY SHOWING UP LOOKING FOR WORK NAKED...

DO WHAT YOU CAN TO BE MORE ALIVE

WRITING LETS YOUR SOUL BREATHE

TAKE SOME QUIET TIME AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF YOUR LIFE TO FIND A QUIET CORNER AND SOME TIME WHEN YOU WILL NOT BE DISTURBED - AND WRITE JUST FOR YOURSELF. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT - YOU WILL EMERGE REFRESHED AND FEEL MORE HUMAN AGAIN.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

WHAT TOPIC DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR

DO YOU WANT EVERYONE IN A HUNDRED YEARS TO READ YOUR WORKPLACE WRITING
OR DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR SOUL IN ORDER TO HELP THEM FIND THEIR OWN SPIRITIAL JOURNEY
PICK YOUR GOAL AND WRITE EXCELLENT MANUSCRIPTS WITH YOUR GOAL IN MIND - DON'T PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW AS NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY TOMORROWS YOU WILL GET (FOR DETAIL ABOUT JESUS AND GOD SEE http://www.revival.com/ )

WRITING TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE

YOU WANT TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON SO YOU
WRITE A LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT TO IMPROVE IN YOURSELF
WRITE A LIST OF WHAT ACTIONS STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE FOR EACH POINT
WRITE A RECORD OF WHEN YOU HAVE DONE EACH STEP AND HOW IT WENT
REAP THE REWARDS OF BEING A BETTER PERSON

Saturday, October 15, 2011

WRITE AS A DOOR TO ETERNITY

AT http://www.revival.com/ YOU WILL FIND SIMPLE PRAYERS TO ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR HEART - WHICH GIVES YOU ETERNAL LIFE
WRITE A PERSONAL JOURNAL FROM THAT MOMENT ONWARDS TO DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY TO ETERNITY

WRITING AS A MIRROR TO YOUR SOUL

KEEP A PERSONAL JOURNAL
DIVIDE IT IN HALF IF YOU WISH - WRITING FROM YOUR SOUL AND USEFUL TOPICS

WRITING IN ORDER TO LEARN AND GROW

BY YOUR CHOICE OF TOPICS YOU CAN LEARN NEW THINGS AND GROW AS A PERSON
BY WRITING ABOUT SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS TOPICS YOU CAN BROADEN YOURSELF
BY WRITING ABOUT CHALLENGING TOPICS YOU CAN STRETCH YOURSELF AS A PERSON

Friday, October 14, 2011

WRITE TO MENTOR OTHERS

THERE IS NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THAN HELPING OTHERS
IS THERE SOME TOPIC OR AREA OF EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU HAVE SOME INSIGHT OR KNOWLEDGE TO OFFER OTHERS?
CONSIDER WRITING AN ARTICLE OR WEB POSTING TO SHARE YOUR TIPS WITH OTHERS

KEEP AN INSPIRATION DIARY TO MAKE YOU FREE

THE SECRET TO BEATING WRITER'S BLOCK (WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEAS) IS TO KEEP A NOTEBOOK OR JOURNAL HANDY 24/7 IN WHICH YOU JOT DOWN EVERY IDEA AS IT HAPPENS - WITHOUT ANY EDITS IN FREEFLOW
YOU WILL NEVER HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK AGAIN - JUST LOOK IN YOUR NOTEBOOK FOR IDEAS TO START FROM

WHEN GOD IS CALLING YOU AS A WRITER

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT SEE http://www.revival.com/ NIGHTLY BROADCASTS AND SOUL WINNING TOOLS
GOD ASKS US TO DEVELOP A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM NOT ONLY SO THAT WE CAN REGULARLY PASS TO HIM A WISH LIST OF WHAT WE WANT FROM GOD - BUT SO THAT HE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH US AND THAT INCLUDES HIS PERFECT PLAN FOR US THAT HE CREATED BEFORE WE WERE BORN - AND TO DIRECT US IN THIS PLAN STEP BY STEP - THIS MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO ESTABLISH AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SO THAT HE CAN DIRECT YOU IN YOUR WRITING AND YOUR LIFE

WHAT IS YOUR WRITING CALLING?

WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO GOD AND TAKE JESUS INTO YOUR HEART (DETAILS AT http://www.revival.com/ SOUL WINNING TOOLS) AND GOD WILL LET YOU KNOW IF WRITING IS YOUR CALLING OR SOMETHING ELSE
FOR THOSE NOT SPEAKING TO OR FOLLOWING GOD - WHAT IS YOUR WRITING CALLING? ARE YOU WRITING IN THE AREA THAT YOU WERE BORN TO WRITE IN OR ARE YOU JUST MAKING MONEY OR FLOUNDERING ABOUT WITHOUT PURPOSE - IF YOU WISH TO OBTAIN GOD'S GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT HIS PERFECT PLAN WAS FOR YOU FROM BEFORE YOU WERE BORN SEE http://www.revival.com/ AS MENTIONED ABOVE

HILLSONG ROCKS - DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ROCK TOO?

GOD CREATED YOU WITH A MOUTH, AND WITH A BRAIN, AND MAN CREATED MANY, MANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AS WELL AS MUSIC COMPOSING SOFTWARE SUCH AS THAT ON THE IMAC AND TAPE RECORDERS AND CELLPHONE DEVICES TO RECORD YOUR MUSIC THOUGHTS UNTIL YOU COMPLETE YOUR SONG.

WRITING A SPIRITUAL JOURNAL

YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY, BOOKSTORE AND THE INTERNET SHOULD HELP YOU WRITE A SPIRITUAL JOURNAL
SOME TIPS MIGHT BE TO NOT EDIT WHAT YOU WRITE AND JUST LET IT FLOW
MAKE YOUR WRITING TIME ENJOYABLE AND FREE FROM OUTSIDE STRESSES
FIND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO FEEL RELAXED AND OPEN SUCH AS HILLSONG OR ANDREA BOCCELLI MUSIC AND PUT IT ON IN THE BACKGROUND

SCHOLARLY WRITING LIVES ON WHEN CITED BY OTHERS

WHEN OTHERS CITE YOUR WORK, ACKNOWLEDGE IT, REFER TO IT, AND COMMENT ON IT IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THEIR OWN WRITING THEN YOUR WRITING IS USED AGAIN

WHAT KIND OF WRITING DO YOU NEED TO SUSTAIN YOUR SOUL

DO YOU LOVE AND CRAVE WRITING
SCIENCE-FICTION OR FANTASY
CREATIVE WRITING
FILM OR TELEVISION SCRIPTS
ADVERTISING COPY
NEWS OR CURRENT INFORMATION
...THEN MAKE TIME AND DO IT!

DOES YOUR WRITING LIFT OTHERS UP OR TEAR THEM DOWN

UPLIFTING WRITING IS POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE, INSTRUCTIONAL

IF YOU READ THE BIBLE WILL YOU BECOME A BETTER WRITER

THE BIBLE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS THE MOST FREQUENTLY BOUGHT BOOK OF ALL EVERY YEAR ACCORDING TO A TALK AT http://www.revival.com
SCHOLARS HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE BIBLE SINCE IT WAS WRITTEN FROM ALL FIELDS AND HAVE NOT STOPPED THEIR RESEARCH THESE THOUSANDS OF YEARS
SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN DONE RIGHT TO HAVE SUCH INTEREST IN THE WRITING

ROMANCE WRITERS EARN WELL BUT RISK MUCH

AFTER ATTENDING SOME LOCAL MEETINGS OF THE ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA - HERE ARE SOME IMPRESSIONS I GOT
THE CHANCES OF YOUR WRITING BEING ACCEPTED, PUBLISHED AND EARNING YOU A LOT OF MONEY ARE VERY VERY SLIM
IN ORDER TO APPEAL TO AN EVER MORE COMPETITIVE WRITING MARKET AS WELL AS FILM, TELEVISION AND OTHER MEDIA - THE WRITING MAY NEED TO GET RISQUE TO THE POINT THAT THE AUTHOR MAY DEVELOP LEGAL TROUBLES OR NOT BE PUBLISHABLE

TECHNICAL WRITING IS LUCRATIVE - CAN ANYONE DO IT

PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE:
NOT EVERYONE CAN WRITE PRECISELY SO THAT INSTRUCTIONS REALLY WORK

START WRITING FROM SCRATCH

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TOPIC AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT - TRY:
DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH
INTERVIEWING AN EXPERT
READING ARTICLES OR BOOK EXCERPTS

BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU WRITE

WRITE FROM A PLACE OF CURIOSITY AND INTEREST IN THE TOPIC
IF THE TOPIC DOES NOT INTEREST YOU, TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT IT
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU COULD APPLY THAT TOPIC TO YOUR LIFE

DOES PEACE IN YOUR MIND MEAN YOU WILL WRITE BETTER?

IF YOU ARE ANXIOUS, UPSET OR PREOCCUPIED YOU LOSE PATIENCE WRITING
AIM FOR:
CALM
PEACEFUL
RELAXED
WELL-RESTED
IN CONTROL
HAPPY
ALERT
FLEXIBLE
ENTHUSIASTIC
AND WELL

WRITING TO EXPAND YOUR MIND IN YOUR SPIRIT

KEEP A PERSONAL JOURNAL
WRITE A PERSONAL BLOG OR WEBSITE
DO CREATIVE WRITING
WRITE TO GOD

WRITING TO GOD

THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WE ARE ALL TO HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
HOW DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SPIRIT?
START A PERSONAL JOURNAL TO GOD AND SEE WHAT DEVELOPS
IF GOD CAN CREATE THE UNIVERSE - HAVE FAITH THAT HE CAN HANDLE YOUR JOURNAL! AND ENJOY!

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

SO YOU WANT TO WRITE BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE

WHAT IS THE CULTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS AREA AND OF THE FORMAT YOU CHOOSE EG EMAIL OR BY MAIL OR INFORMAL NOTE
ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE EXPECTED CONVENTIONS OF WRITING
DOES YOUR FIELD HAVE AN ASSOCIATION WEBSITE OR LITERATURE THAT GIVES YOU THE PROPER COMMUNICATION EXPECTATIONS FOR THAT FIELD?

Saturday, October 1, 2011

SPIRITUAL WRITING TAKES YOU HIGHER

WHEN THE PERSON FINISHES READING - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS WHEN THEY STARTED
THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT READING THE BIBLE - YOU RECEIVE REVELATION FROM THE WORD - EXCEPT THAT IS GOD'S WORD
YOU CONNECT WITH YOUR INNER SELF AND REACH A HIGHER LEVEL IN YOUR BEING WHEN YOU READ FROM THE BIBLE
SO THEN WHEN YOU ARE WRITING IN A SPIRITUAL MANNER EXPECT TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH THAT PERSON THAT WILL ENLIGHTEN, TEACH OR GIVE THEM AN EXPERIENCE THAT WILL HELP THEM REACH THEIR SPIRITUAL MATURITY ON THE EARTH

BEST WRITING TIPS

- STUDY A DRAFT OF THE WRITING OF A WELL-KNOWN EXCELLENT WRITER AND COMPARE IT WITH THE FINISHED PRODUCT TO SEE HOW GOOD WRITING GROWS
- WHEN WRITING FREEHAND BACKGROUND MUSIC MAY INSPIRE BUT WHEN EDITING, PROOFREADING, PLANNING, OR POLISHING SILENCE WORKS BEST
- HAVE GOOD WRITING RESOURCES - ONLINE OR IN PAPER - DICTIONARY, THESAURUS, MODERN ENGLISH USEAGE AND GRAMMAR, SPELL CHECKER

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR WRITING?

I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS HOW DO YOU LEARN BEST?
IF YOU ARE A PRACTICAL PERSON WHO LEARNS BY DOING YOU MAY BENEFIT MOST FROM FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS, CLASSES, A WRITING BUDDY, WRITING ASSOCIATION PARTICIPATION AND SO ON
IF YOU ARE MORE OF AN INTELLECTUAL PERSON YOU MAY LEARN BEST FROM READING LITERATURE, WATCHING LECTURES, STUDYING WRITING TEXTBOOKS AND SO ON
IF YOU LEARN BEST JUST BY WRITING AND EDITING UNTIL IT GETS BETTER CONSIDER LEARNING MORE ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THE WRITING PROCESS - THERE ARE ALSO PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING MATERIALS IN EDITING
A TRICK I FIND THAT WORKS BEST FOR ME IS TO READ WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN ALOUD - EITHER IN YOUR OWN MIND, OUT LOUD, OR GET SOMEONE ELSE TO READ IT SO THAT YOU CAN LISTEN FOR PROBLEMS

Friday, September 30, 2011

HOW IS YOUR WRITING LIFE PROGRESSING?

I LOVE WRITING - I LOVE TO WRITE, I LOVE TO THINK ABOUT WRITING, I LOVE TO READ THE WRITING OF OTHERS THAT IS GOOD AND ENJOY WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN AS WELL AS LEARN FROM THEM TO MAKE MY WRITING BETTER
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY OWN WRITING? WITHOUT THE BLESSING OF FREE BLOGS AND THE FORMAT OF WEBSITES AND EMAILS, THERE WOULD BE NO WRITING AT ALL - I FOUND IT TOO DIFFICULT TO GET STARTED, CONTINUE, AND FINISH IT
REMEMBER, ATTENDING WRITING WORKSHOPS, BELONGING TO ASSOCIATIONS THAT CALL YOU A WRITER, TAKING WRITING RETREATS, CHATTING ABOUT WRITING WITH OTHERS ALL AMOUNT TO NOTHING WHEN YOU ASK - WHAT HAVE YOU WRITTEN?

THE BIBLE WILL LIVE FOREVER - WILL YOU?

THE ULTIMATE BESTSELLER EVERY YEAR IS THE BIBLE
IN TEN, TWENTY, OR A HUNDRED YEARS WILL ANYONE READ YOUR WRITING?
ARE YOU WRITING FOR THE MOMENT ONLY FOR MONEY OR WILL YOUR WRITING ENDURE AND STAND THE TEST OF TIME TO BE OF LONG TERM VALUE FOR READERS?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? IF YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED, YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE ISSUE AND DECIDE ON SOME ACTION STEPS TO MAKE IT SO

DO YOU LOVE TO WRITE?

SO, WRITE THEN, WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK?
MAKE TIME FOR WRITING - IT IS NOT JUST A HOBBY - IT CONNECTS YOU TO YOUR SOUL

WRITING FOR YOUTUBE FOR YOUR SPIRIT

PEOPLE SPEND MUCH OF THEIR TIME IMMERSED IN TECHNOLOGY AND YOU COULD BE ONE OF THOSE TOO
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SHARING WITH OTHERS BY POSTING YOUR VIDEO ON YOUTUBE?
IS THERE SOME HOBBY YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT - OR SOME INTEREST YOU HAVE SUCH AS PHOTOGRAPHY - OR ARE YOU A BUDDING STANDUP COMEDIAN WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED?
JUSTIN BIEBER STARTED POSTING HIS SINGING FOR HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY - AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM! HE WAS JUST EXPRESSING HIS SOUL AND SHARING AND HAVING FUN. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GET FAMOUS - YOU CAN STAY ANONYMOUS AND JUST EXPRESS YOURSELF IN THIS SOCIAL MEDIA. CHECK IT OUT AT http://www.youtube.com/ WHERE YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

HOW DO CHILDREN SEE GOD?

THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN SIMPLY, HOWEVER WE THINK OF IT AS AN ADULT BOOK
WHAT WOULD YOU WRITE TO INTRODUCE CHILDREN TO GOD?
THE CHILDREN'S BOOK MARKET IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY LARGE
THAT IS A TOPIC YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY

SHOOT FOR THE MOON WITH YOUR WRITING

ASPIRE TO DO YOUR VERY BEST WRITING EACH AND EVERY TIME
LEARN FROM OTHERS SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL
READ EXCELLENT WRITING FREQUENTLY

IS EDITING FOR FOOLS ONLY

HMMM, WELL SCIENCE-FICTION AUTHOR SPIDER ROBINSON HAS BEEN HEARD TO SAY THAT HE HAS NOT HAD A BEST SELLING NOVEL SINCE HE GOT A COMPUTER THAT MADE EDITING EASY AND FAST SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO RETYPE ALL THE PAGES...

IF YOU THINK THAT ANY WRITING IS GOOD ENOUGH WITHOUT EDITING, THINK BACK TO SCHOOL AND ANSWER THE QUESTION - WHY DIDN'T I GET AN A PLUS ALL THE TIME IN ENGLISH?

DOES THE JESUS IN YOU WANT A VOICE?

WHEN YOU SAY A SIMPLE PRAYER OF SALVATION INVITING JESUS INTO YOUR HEART TO OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE ( SEE SOUL-WINNING TOOLS AT http://www.revival.com/ FOR SAMPLE PRAYERS ) DO YOU FIND THAT AS YOU MATURE AS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, THAT NOT ONLY YOUR MIND BECOMES MORE CHRIST-LIKE, BUT YOUR WRITING ALSO CHANGES?

LET ME KNOW IN YOUR COMMENTS - JUST WONDERING WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE...

Saturday, September 10, 2011

PUT GOD FIRST ON YOUR AGENDA

YOU BELIEVE IN GOD BUT LEAVE GOD INSIDE THE CHURCH WALLS EVERY WEEK. HERE IS HOW YOU CAN INCLUDE GOD MORE IN YOUR WRITING.
PRAY ABOUT YOUR WRITING
SEARCH YOUR HEART TO SEE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE WRITING AND REFLECT ON HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE IT

IMPROVE YOUR ATMOSPHERE, IMPROVE YOUR MIND

WHY DO WRITERS, WHO ARE USING PERHAPS THE MOST CREATIVE PROCESS TO COMMUNICATE, SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH A BOX? OPEN YOURSELF UP, WRITE IN FREEDOM - TRY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, SETTINGS AND SURROUNDINGS!

DOES YOUR WRITING CHANGE WHEN BORN-AGAIN?

WHEN PEOPLE MAKE A SIMPLE PRAYER TO ASK JESUS INTO THEIR HEARTS SO THAT THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN AND THEY WILL LIVE FOR ETERNITY, DOES YOUR WRITING CHANGE?
YES, IF GOD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WRITING BEFORE

GOD AS CO-AUTHOR

1. CURRICULUM GUIDES FOR BIBLE STUDY
2. CHURCH SERMONS
3. GOSPEL AND WORSHIP SONGS
4. BIOGRAPHIES AND AUTOBIOGRAPHIES OF PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH GOD
5. WORKS ABOUT GOD, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT OR THE BIBLE

YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY IN WRITING

USE MULTI-MEDIA EG. YOUTUBE VIDEO, PODCAST, PHOTOGRAPHY, AUDIO OR OTHER FORMATS
WRITE GREETING CARDS WITH SPIRITUAL MESSAGES
CORRESPOND WITH OTHERS

CORNFLAKES ARE IN!

WRITING FOR MARKETING AND ADVERTISING TAKES YOU TO UNEXPECTED PLACES
BARRY MANILOW HAD WRITTEN A JINGLE I'M STUCK ON BAND-AIDS AND BAND-AIDS ARE STUCK ON ME, AND THE COMPANY DID NOT USE IT WHEN HE WROTE IT BUT MAYBE IT GREW ON THEM BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY DID.

GOD IN, GOD OUT - WRITING TO BE REAL

GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT IS WHAT YOU GET INPUTTING INTO A COMPUTER

Does Your Creativity Crave Spirituality?

QUICK SURVEY - CHECK TO FIND OUT

Are your creative writing tasks meaningful?

Have you lost your enthusiasm for total freedom in your writing?

Does your life seem out of focus all the time?

Is your creative juice dried up?

Does your writing excitement take longer and longer to start up?

Do you keep searching your life for inspiration to write and find it mostly one big blank?

Are your knees knocking together with fear when you think of starting to write?

Do you find yourself avoiding starting to write at all costs, and yet you don't enjoy what you do when avoiding writing?

EXPLANATION
If you answered NO to the first question and YES to some or many of the rest,
consider checking to see if adding more spirituality or God in your life will revive you.

What Is Your Favorite Writing Pen?

Have any of you actually tried the Fisher Space Pen that was developed by NASA to write when upside down for the space program? There seem to be a lot of versions of it - here is one from amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Space-Pen-Bullet-375/dp/B001LZ2CRC/
I like the smooth feel of a gel pen but find that they can be streaky, smudge easily and run out quickly. Ball point pens are more reliable but can be blotchy and what about being acid free to last over time? Anyone have a favorite? Here are some links on the topic I found. I even found a Writing Pen Store http://www.thewritingpenstore.com/
Please leave your comments and suggestions also below.
