The...I have the same wanderlust when I write, True. The trick is to put it off until the night before, drink a liter or two of caffeinated beverages, finish in the nick of time, gladly wash your hands of it, and then be miserable for a week after - from lack of sleep and wondering if you actually wrote what you think you wrote.<BR/><BR/>And while that <I>is</I> how I write, sadly, I have begun to try to force myself to create some kind of organization - which I totally suck at.<BR/><BR/>It's difficult for me, also, to write under prescription. I feel shackled by it. But, on the other hand, it is excellent practice; and I grow as a writer (I hope) through it.<BR/><BR/>The biggest thing I've discovered about my own writing is how much it is weighed down, absolutely caged by my fears (not good enough, hack, poser, etc.). And that is what I struggle and pray through each day.<BR/><BR/>I recently wrote the following about myself. It sounds, and may be, slightly psychotic, but let me share it with you. It's from one of my articles on simplicity - how we must let nothing master us:<BR/><BR/>"Fear masters me. I am its servant, worshiping in its liturgy of non-activity, wanting every step to be like the last, knowing it cannot be. So I hesitate. I want to take this life and bury it, to present it to God As Is - wicked and lazy servant that I am.<BR/><BR/>"But Simplicity acts, fearing only her Master."<BR/><BR/>Writing is a passion, a gift that God has given you, True. And He's made you to honor Him with it. He's made you for this. So do not be afraid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564684437473178371noreply@blogger.com
