I’ve always been jealous of people who have always known what they wanted to be when they grew up. You know that person. The one that says, “I knew from the time I was 3 that I wanted to be a ————. Fill in their answer here.
I thought I’ve never had such ambitions. Most times I feel like a Wal-Mart bag caught on the wind. Oh, this looks good, I can do that. I might be able to do this.. but.
A friend of mine was encouraged by her therapist to journal. While trying to help her explore ways around conventional journaling, I discovered the world of blogging. People blog about EVERYTHING. Really they do.
I asked some questions. Found a platform and started blogging myself. All the while, I’m having a conversation with God about this direction. I have a really difficult time knowing if God put an idea in my head or not. There is some really good talent out there. Can I really hold my own?
While looking back through works I’ve kept, I found stuff from 8th grade that I had written. Maybe I’ve always been interested in some form of writing?
Statistically, I’m not going to be able to quit my day job. Authors like Stephen King are not the normal.
Monday, I received my first in-depth peer review. A fellow blogger, part time writer asked if he could do a review of a short story I had posted.
I always question my direction. Is it God? Or is Satan trying to trick me?
John 8:44 KJV – 44 ….When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
After he asked me if I cared, I was excited to hear what he had to say. Then after I read his review, I was on cloud nine.
Is that you God? Encouraging me to chase my passion but don’t give up my day job.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Thank you God for laying a path for me to follow.
Thank you Ted for an encouraging review.

You do have the talent, and you should be proud of yourself. I hope more people here will read your work, and I’m just so impressed with the quality of writing I’m finding on WordPress. I feel that we’re breaking new ground here. I don’t know what the spiritual reasons are, except that, like great many people, I love to write and I feel that traditional publishing has ignored me. My personal revelation came (writing wise) when I decided not to care any more about becoming a best selling author, or earning money or adulation from the establishment. Now I’ve found this community. Maybe there are enough of us that it is becoming a spiritual thing, or maybe when you’ve got enough souls who feel the same way it is truly does come from somewhere else. Whatever the case, I’m enjoying it and I’m glad you are too. Keep on writing!😜I’ll start on Winter Season soon.

Thank you so much. 💕 I’m very happy with WordPress. Even if I never make a dime, this has been amazing for my mental health. I’m so glad I did this. Keep writing as well. I’m enjoying learning about ‘suicide tables’. I agree traditional publishing is a difficult road. For myself, I will never fit in that position. Again, thank you.
