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.

BE YOURSELF - HAVE FUN WRITING!

SAVOR THE FREEDOM OF HAVING TIME TO WRITE
ANOINT THE AIR WITH A FAVORITE PERFUME, FLOWER BOUQUET OR YUMMY FOOD AROMA
LET YOUR BODY RELAX - TAP YOUR FEET, LOOSEN YOUR CLOTHING, OR BETTER YET - WEAR NONE!

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?

CAN YOU SELL POTATOES WELL

MCDONALDS IS RUNNING INTERESTING ADS ABOUT THEIR FRIES NOW
DO YOU FIND THAT YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING - THEN WRITING ADS MAY BE  FOR YOU

THINK ABOUT ATTENDING A WRITING CONFERENCE

TO MEET OTHER WRITERS
TO FIND PUBLISHERS FOR YOUR WRITING
TO LEARN AND TAKE WORKSHOPS
FOR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WRITING

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO WRITE A SERMON?

SOME IDEAS TO START YOU OFF
SOME EVENT IN YOUR LIFE
YOUR TESTIMONY ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU
YOUR BIBLE READINGS
YOUR FRIENDS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES
HOLY SPIRIT

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...

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

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS TO DOCUMENT YOUR BLOSSOMING SOUL
WRITE YOUR OWN BLOG OR WEBSITE
KEEP A JOURNAL OR DIARY
WRITE A BOOK, POEMS, STORIES, ESSAYS, ARTICLES ETC. USING NON-FICTION OR CREATIVE WRITING STYLES
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
WRITING ABOUT GOD IS SIMILAR - IF IT IS SINCERE IT WILL BE, IF NOT, IT WON'T BE
IF THE ARTICLE DOES NOT HAVE REAL CONTENT, NO FANCY MARKETING WILL HELP
