You might want to talk to a priest or preacher about this then.I did a little bit of work on my horror novel last night, but then felt a fear of God and begged God not to punish me. I'll see what I can do later.

But it could potentially be scrupulosity for DavidTheGnome, which is a form of OCD, but a priest would probably be able to discern the difference between an actual feeling from God vs. internal OCD for a person who asks for help.You felt the fear of God? So there is your answer!
Working on a Horror novel and felt the fear of God...That would be a red flag to me to stop doing that.
Ephesians 4:29-30
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.../KJV
I am of the belief that this applies to fingertips too!
I thought the novel might show that the Devil is nobody's friend and scare people who worship him into running to Jesus.What is the point of antagonizing your audience by the your novel? Your aim is to win and influence your listeners, not to antagonize them.

And maybe one of my teeth having had some crumbling today and the moss growing on my garage roof are too.You felt the fear of God? So there is your answer!

The problem is that I'm not sure whether or not God is okay with me writing these. I've had some bad stuff happen to me this year, which I suspected of being divine retribution for a lot of things I did throughout my life.

I wish I was already in Heaven.
I want to resume writing, but I'm afraid of being punished by God.
If I have to give up writing, then it's another dream of mine built up and smashed to pieces.
Scrupulosity is a condition where someone obsesses about religion in a way so that they feel guilty or anxious: Scrupulosity disorder: an overview and introductory analysis - PubMedWhat's scrupulosity? I never heard that term.

Biking is pretty fun brother, and bike paths are pretty safe, just like writing is pretty safe. You might want to talk to a psychologist about this OCD, as it is consuming your life. Pure OCD/anxiety.I have struggled with obsessive compulsions all my life.
I've developed the same fears of God about bicycling as I have about writing, which is why I haven't bicycled in months, and bicycling is one of my favorite things to do.
I sure hope and pray that's all that it is. I want my life back.Biking is pretty fun brother, and bike paths are pretty safe, just like writing is pretty safe. You might want to talk to a psychologist about this OCD, as it is consuming your life. Pure OCD/anxiety.

Romans 8:14-16 said:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
Hebrews 12:4 said:4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are punished by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He punishes every son whom He accepts.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had [d]earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much more be subject to the Father of [e]spirits, and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. 11 For the moment, all discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12 Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is impaired may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
1 John 4:17-19 said:17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, we also are in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 19 We love, because He first loved us.
That sounds okay. It's very clear your Christian beliefs are HEAVILY influencing your writing......& that is very good. It shows your passion. You can use it to witness. Readers will ask what are your beliefs.....& that's an opportunity to share the Truth.Yes, in the horror story, the Devil and the demons lose. The female protagonist, who turns out to be God's chosen champion in the conflict between good and evil, fights the demons with guns, a blade, and her martial arts skills, but after killing the Devil's self-made champion, she calls on the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to deliver the coup de grace.
In the Elder Scrolls story, the Ayleid elves and the Daedra lose.
Fictional writing is something I really enjoy doing. Also, I thought maybe my horror novel, if it gets published, might scare some Satanists into running to Jesus. I read at least 2 chapters of the Holy Bible daily. I enjoy bicycling, but I haven't done that in months, although I'd love to get back to doing it. I've also been trying to turn my swimming pool into a garden, but progress on it has been halted, although I'd like to get it finished.
