All those voices (heehee) that had been swirling through my head every time I saw a news report or heard of an incident and my head told me, "that'd make a great story" I just had to give in and write. Hmm, maybe that will be the next blog.

Linda--great wisdom that you can't duck your calling when it comes from God. That reminds me of Jonah trying to run away, thinking that God and His loving will wouldn't follow. :)Tammy Barleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005911516653468665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371093961542193618.post-53056389839859595352011-07-26T10:13:59.000-04:002011-07-26T10:13:59.000-04:00All these posts are 'down write' cute!

Not because I'm NOT published but because of the stress my NEED to write causes with my less-than-supportive family.<br>I'm not sure of the How, When, Where - God is going to use what I write BUT I am sure He's called me to keep writing, learning the craft, growing in discernment and following Him - maybe that's the ONLY reason He's called me to write - to keep me growing in HIM as I fashion the growth in my characters!<br>Thanks for posting this article, Linda.JoyAveryMelvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061978800433274943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371093961542193618.post-67454779106339151282011-07-24T22:43:52.000-04:002011-07-24T22:43:52.000-04:00I'd like to invite you to join my "Follow...I'd like to invite you to join my "Follower's" list on www.victorygardenofprayer.blogspot.com<br>Lately, I've been telling myself that I should stop writing, but like the comments previously state, it's just something I have to do, whether I'm ever published or not. The scenarios, ideas, and titles keep my head spinning! I simply have to put it all into Word, save it and edit until I'm on to the next great idea...and maybe someday!

If they're writing for recognition it makes sense. <br><br>You're so right.
