I write to encourage, to edify, to inspire, to give an idea that might change the world.

After a few years of short stories, songs, and poems, I felt called to write a specific story. Because my goal has always been publication for this book and others, I also am partially a career writer. I write for a lot of the same reasons as LHE does and mostly want to portray God's love and peace in times of struggle. Thank you so much for sharing, Mrs. White!

I feel like a lot of the things I write about are the things that people need to hear and set their mind to. Especially those who are going through what I'm writing about. I'm not really going for what money I'll receive, or the praise or anything like that, I'm really going for the message. What people will get out of it. I hope that my work will succeed and not only give them hope, but show them the way to Christ. :)<br />Thanks for the post, Mrs. White!

Sometimes a book really is for us--I have novels I've finished that I know I'll never published, but writing them changed me, grew my faith. Strengthened relationships with the few--or one--person who read them.

But I believe I am a calling writer. I believe God has called me to writing. I don't necessarily care about being published, I just love writing.<br />I've been out of town a lot lately, which means no writing half of the time because of the activities I do. But once I get to the hotel and have some free time, I'm writing. And even when I'm out all I can think about is writing. Getting back home to my laptop is also the best feeling ever!<br />Thank you so much for this post! It really makes me think about it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
