WARNING: I'm not sure about the appropriateness of this for guys...so if you think it's bad, stop reading. Okay? I read Jay Lauser’s excellent post on A New Kind of Modesty (which you really, really, really should read, though I won’t post it up seven times like my big sister C’rissie :P) yesterday, and thought I would like to blog my struggle and weakness in that area for...encouragement? General opinion? Not quite sure, although it certainly wasn’t out of self consideration. :P Then I read C’rissie’s post connected with Jay’s, A Rant on Modesty ;), which you can read here . And decided that I felt too embarrassed after reading that, because they were both so good and covered the ground enough, so I wouldn’t. Well, this morning, I changed my mind. (Although after rereading it again just, with all the comments, I feel quite small about posting this...*hits send before I rethink*) It’s not too often that I gain a victory over my worldliness to be happy in the clothes I’m weari...
Praying God will reveal to you what is to heal the ache and what those mysterious words and music are.
ReplyDeleteAs to writing...I've had similar (in a lesser way) frustration, where I want to write, I sit down to write and then the words won't come or they come so slowly I give up. I have so many ideas in my head and longings to write something meaningful, but it doesn't want to flow. For me, what's finally helped is realizing I'm not going to write the perfect book on the rough draft. I told myself "No one is going to see this, just write it". And that has helped SO much. Because otherwise I get caught up in "What will people think?" "Too many adverbs!" or "This is horrible dialogue!" and I have to start at square one and tell the bare bones story. And Lord willing, the clearer plot, the snappy dialogue, the details, and the deeper meaning will all come in time.
Long explanation. :P Don't know if that helped or not...
