Why do I write? Because God has given me a written voice. Sometimes I think I write better than I talk. When you live alone you tend to talk to the dog, the pictures, the walls, anything that will listen, but mostly you don't talk. You forget how sometimes.
I think the hardest thing for me about being a writer is that I'm writing on so many things I don't know which one to work on first, or put the most effort into. Right now my priority has been on a non-fiction book, working title, God's Promises. It is a daily devotional with one of God's promises for every day of the year. So far I have written from January 1st through September 21st. That became my priority when a young man I met at Teen Serve gave me money for my book I wasn't done writing yet.
I've got several books in various stages of completion that I am working on. I also journal every day. Three different kinds of journals. I enjoy hearing the scratch of the pen on paper. Most of the time if I am writing larger projects, I will type them into the computer, but prior to that I enter it into my notebook. Depending on the day, the words change between what is in the notebook to what goes into the computer. For me, writing is a work in progress.
