Two weeks ago, I introduced you to my word for 2018. Last
week, I shared how the first part of that word PURSUE is going to be used for
the new year.
Today, I will talk about the second part.
I will use Psalm 45:1 to use how PURSUE is going to be used
for my other part to guide my new year.
Psalm 45:1
" . . . My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."
I know I talk about writing all the time. Ways I need to
write. What I plan to write, but I actually don't know much writing on my World
War II suspense novels.
During NaNoWriMo, I actually wrote 50,000 words, and
completed my NaNoWriMo writing goal. It felt awesome.
I loved the thrill of writing. The development of my
characters. Allowing my imagination to roam free.
It was nice watching the characters interact and roam the
world that I had created.
I'm tired of mentioning the writing that I plan to do and
not actually doing it because there is always something in the way to stop me.
I need to WRITE and pursue my dreams of writing. I'll never be published if I
don't actually do the writing.
Even if that is what God wants me to do.
I will PURUSE my writing dream. The dream I had since I was
a little girl. I think the desire to write stories came when I was ten years
old. It has inched and buried itself for many years. I have never really
allowed the desire to leave. It has sat there and festered since I was younger.
I used to write during school after finishing my school work. I would write for
hours when sitting at home.
Since I graduated high school, it got harder to create.
In college and graduate school, I majored in Writing, so I
had more moments to write stories even with all the restrictions placed on my
writing at a secular school.
I wrote three complete novels after graduate school, than my
Daddy died, and I haven't written anything since. Well, until this past
November.
Now I want to actually research and write my three World War
II suspense novels.
I WILL write all three books this year. Even if they are
trash, I will write them so that I feel better at using the talents, maybe not
talents, that the Lord has given to me.
What about you? What are you going to PURSUE this year?
