I am so inspired by real people and events of the past not only in my own life but in my writing. As for the genre I like to write, I plan to write books in just about every genre. I like to play around and not being tied to one genre. after I finish the Destiny trilogy, I think I will move on to a historical fiction, then go on to a contemporary.Sarah Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904631370384156831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-73597456610325060232011-08-17T01:48:05.705-05:002011-08-17T01:48:05.705-05:00Thanks Sarah!

If he gave you a love for writing, then pursue it. It may not be what he has called you to do forever, but it may be what he is calling you to do now. I think that to often we are worried about what is ahead of us, when what we should be doing is just doing what her has sat right in front of us. Don't be afraid! Do what God is asking you to do right now whether that is right novels, teach, go to collage, lead a Bible study, blog, or help out with your siblings, and when the time is right, he will show you what to do next.Sarah Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904631370384156831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40202048974514166292011-08-16T16:47:07.503-05:002011-08-16T16:47:07.503-05:00Hi Sarah. :)
My question is...
How did you cope...Hi Sarah. :) <br /><br />My question is... <br />How did you cope with not knowing your "destiny?" <br /><br />Because I'm only fifteen, and my dream is to have a professional career in writing novels and things... but sometimes I have a hard time dealing with not knowing if I'm going to get to have that. I have a big fear of God wanting me to do something completely opposite, because writing is really the only thing that I have confidence I'm actually a little bit good at.Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88159601424882786662011-08-16T14:52:11.059-05:002011-08-16T14:52:11.059-05:00Clarebear ~ I never doubted it was something God w...Clarebear ~ I never doubted it was something God wanted me to do. The only think I doubted was how much of my time I should spend doing it. Sometimes, when people said I should get a real job, I wondered if they were right, but that never seemed to last long.Sarah Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904631370384156831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-90178675027007297852011-08-16T13:44:14.089-05:002011-08-16T13:44:14.089-05:00Hey, Sarah!

My question is did you ever doubt whether writing was what God was calling you to do? And how did you deal with those doubts? <br /><br />What inspires me to write are people. People with stories, with heartaches, with faults. As a writer I try my very hardest to put real situations of people in my stories to inspire others in the world. To show them that even though life can be hard and knock you down, God is constantly faithful and can get you through. I have found this to be true so many times in my life and I would LOVE to show that to as many people I can with my stories. :)Clarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02654852774996609964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-56238358078336332942011-08-16T11:41:24.670-05:002011-08-16T11:41:24.670-05:00Ellyn ~ The hardest thing about writing for me is ...Ellyn ~ The hardest thing about writing for me is descriptions. I have to remind myself often that my readers cannot see what is in my mind. The easiest thing for me is the plot; it always feels easily.<br /><br />Cosette ~ I started writing at age 11 because I was frustrated at the lack of really good books. To read the whole story you can read it here http://destinyofone.blogspot.com/2008/08/it-all-started-when.html<br /><br />Anonymous wrote “What was the hardest part about trusting God with His destiny for you?” ~ This is a wonderful question. I think that hardest thing was dealing with the disappointment of the people around me. Although my Dad, Mom, and siblings supported me, my grandparents and many others were disappointed. They thought I should get a degree and start a career.<br /><br />Sierra ~ Different characters I got to know different ways. Some of the characters I base off of people I know, they are the easy ones. However, the main way I know the characters is I create a back story for them. What happened in their lives before the story opens. It isn’t enough that I could write a book about (at least at the moment) but it is enough for me to get to know them. However, it is hard for me to pinpoint how the characters come alive in my mind, I think it may have something to my vivid imagination.<br /><br />Anonymous Wrote “When you started writing your book, did you know that it would be with a lot of yourself?” ~ Yes and know. I knew that Maria and I were going to be a lot alike but I had no idea that I would be putting so many of my struggles into the pages of this bookSarah Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904631370384156831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-52354880639398825412011-08-16T10:39:45.947-05:002011-08-16T10:39:45.947-05:00What a great interview, Sarah!
