How Do I Write Fiction? (Non-Fiction Hybrid Piece)

             How do you write fiction? I wish I had an answer. So instead I'll show you. I stopped doubting me, overthinking it. I just write a picture and let it speak, speak on the page. The little frog hopping across the road, dodging vehicles and large predators, looking for his "other side".

             He scared and frightened, as most of us are on our journeys through unknown ways; as I am every time I write. Still he hops to cross to what is good; so I'll write, to cross to what is good. Here, remembering Jesus can make much of these creativity offerings of "loaves and fish"; giving them in trust that he'll do great things in them as I "hop" across this unknown road again.

Trial And Error (How To Grow)

              Over the years I've had to work past the fear of failure (the fear of trying even). I'd like to say I've mastered this area; I'd like to be honest even more though. Everything has been trial and error over the years. Here's how to do this thing. Here's how to think. Here's how to feel. Here's how to believe this or that, and so on.               It's been exhausting at times, and more than once even defeating when the floor of failure is hit. There remains the temptation to not get back up again in those moments (we've all been there). One thing in growing through trial and error though is to REMEMBER what's good (what's worked). We can get lost in what hasn't and believe the lie that NOTHING will. We must remember that it doesn't have to be perfect, that there must simply be some sort of forward motion (and this can look different for us all). Sometimes (many times) it isn't always an actual action...

How (Poetry)

        This poem (below) is written in response to a writing prompt recently given where you have to describe the taste of a surprising food in the most creative way. Enjoy. How (Poetry) How does one describe such a taste, from such an unassuming fruit? How does one give explanation to such a tiny thing? Just write as you think, A slap in the face, then the kindest hug; this is how to describe a Kiwi's taste.

This Is A Letter

              This is a letter, from a modern-day man, to one who may need this. Here I am writing once again, of creating and hoping as you do. This is a message, to someone somewhere, hoping you don't quit, especially when it's tough and creativity doesn't happen easily. This is a word, a surprising "word for someone" that you have a gift, one that can help others (and will help you too), that is good and constructive and will bring others to Jesus. This is an attempt to reach out, hoping it finds you well, and if it doesn't it helps you be well, remembering you aren't alone. Jesus is calling you, calling you to create, find healing and give it (as He gives, works, and leads you), remembering you can create still in a way that speaks of Him (however that looks).  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel ...
