I just feel blessed to write these encouragements to keep the writing soul going!

To me, I believe writers for Christ are needed the most. I remembered I was at Barnes and Nobles, looking at some books. There's one book(i dare not to mention the title) that got me so disgusted by looking at its cover. I didn't bother to open it since I knew it was corrupted. There are many books that are filled with something to lure someone away from Christ.

As it is important for singers and guitarists to play the glorious music of Christ, it is important for writers to reach to the readers in the world.

No need to fear of "trying to get the right words onto the paper." God will provide everything for you from God-inspired ideas to God-breathed words.

When I wrote poetry few months ago, the words easily flow onto paper. Now, it is getting harder for me to write poetry the easy way because I bet God wants me to know what I'm writing and WHY.

Being published doesn't mean the TRUE SUCCESS OF REACHING TO YOUR READERS. You could reach to those readers around you through your words and actions. Of course, you could save a soul without the need of being published. It depends if you are willing to offer your gift up to God.

Yes, I have a feeling this "article" is bullet-ridden with spelling errors and/or grammar errors. But I hope the encouragement will stick out the most!!!

Bravo.

It is true that publishing is not synonomous with success as far as a works of written media.
It certainly does help though.

No need to fear of "trying to get the right words onto the paper." God will provide everything for you from God-inspired ideas to God-breathed words.

I am afraid I will have to disagree with you on some of the finer points of this statement though.

Surely we should never fear failure; but simply work at making it difficult.

It is very important that we hone our skills. Just as we are to study the scriptures to know them better (though we are given devine rememberance) and the guitarist must practice to grow in talent and skill; so too must the writer learn new skills, master new forms and concepts in order to be more effective in their field.

Please understand, as a whole I agree; but talent will never take you far: only hard work, sacrifice and grace.
