Ok, so God gave me this gift and by what others say, I'm very good at this particular gift. I can write. Not just good, but really, really well! There are a small group of people who read my stories and are captivated and keep bugging me for more. I'm not saying this out of ego for myself because if you ask me, I suck! And everytime I say I suck, they tell me to shut-up!
So, really there is nothing wrong with writing itself...it's what I write. I love to write horror. Scary things. Many Christian brothers and sisters would say that I'm opening the door for demons into my life or that I'm promoting evil. People ask, "can't you find something else to write about if it bothers you?" I say, "no I can't." It's all I've written my whole life and I'm good at that particular genre.
I don't have a problem writing it at all, but when people say I need to spend more time glorifying God rather than writing about evil, it gets to me. And I wonder if I should just give it up altogether.
So my question is...if I'm good at and have been my whole life, isn't it something put in me from God? When I write it just FEELS right and it calms and relaxes me. I don't know.
