Writing......

Are you a writer?
Do you journal?
Have you ever thought about being a writer?
Have you ever thought about starting a journal?
Have you ever thought about writing a book about your life experience?
Have you ever thought about writing study guides, devotionals and the like?

I know I have.  I think , "I hated English in school. Every paper was marked with red pen". At the same time, now at the age of 40-something, I remember those things and find myself asking those red-pen questions when I am writing.

Where would you start?
What would you write about?
What and who is your audience?
Trust me, I am throwing the questions out. I am thinking and praying through how I would answer them. How would YOU answer them?
For sure something to ponder today.......

I have always wanted to write a book. It would tell of how God stayed faithful and carried me through seriously deep valleys in my life.

I love to write - but I have to be in the right frame of mind or else the words just don't flow! I admire people who journal and have a desire to write an actual book. Here are my 10 for today:
-I'm thankful that my daughter's migraine episode seems to be subsiding more each day.
-I'm thankful for the hot cup of tea that I drinking right now.
-I'm thankful for caffeine!
-I'm thankful for a good night's sleep.
-I'm thankful that today is Friday.
-I'm thankful that the Lord keeps reminding me of His presence and desire to spend time with me.
-I'm thankful for the warm blanket that is currently covering my lap.
-I'm thankful for the Fall. Yes, I dread the winter, but then comes the Spring and renewing of life!
-I'm thankful that I live in the USA.
-I'm thankful for handy built-in "tools" like fingernails! How amazing that God thought of every little thing when He created us.
Hope you have a thankful day!
