21 Days of Posts – Day 14 – What If I Never Finish Or Publish Anything?

Est. Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is day fourteen of twenty-one days of posts between January 10th and January 30th of 2021. Hello again to those who read previous days, and hello to those of you who may have stumbled across this post “out of order”. You should go back and read from Day 1, for a few reasons. It explains why I am doing this. It is the first one, and I may make reference to something in it in this post or a later one. It also has a list with each day’s post (once they are available) and you can jump to whatever topic you are interested in. Thanks for reading!

It is a sobering question. For all the work I have put into writing, what if I never finish, much less publish a single thing? What would that mean for me? Honestly, I don’t know. My writing urges come and go, my creativity with them. I always seem to be able to psyche myself up for November and NaNoWriMo, but after that mad rush of thirty days, things tend to more easily get in the way of me writing.

I realized as I was about to start writing this post that I had neglected to publish my post from yesterday. It was waiting for me, complete, edited and ready to go, but I failed to push the button. It was late when I finished it, so I guess that is why I missed that last step. Oh, well. It is published now and through the magic of WordPress time travel, it shows as being posted yesterday. Cool.

We’re now at a post I have been looking forward to writing. I could fill pages with my favorite music, because I like lots of music, but I’m going to put some restrictions on this favorite list.

21 Days of Posts – Day 11 – Journaling is Hard

This is day eleven of twenty-one days of posts between January 10th and January 30th of 2021.

Part of my 21 day fast includes entering thoughts into a journal every day. I’ve tried to journal in the past, but never did very well. I figured the best way to get into some kind of habit would be to make it part of my fast. So here I am, and I’ve discovered why I haven’t succeeded in the past with journaling.

Journaling is hard.

21 Days of Posts – Day 10 – Give Me Faith…and Some Proof!

Est. Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is day ten of twenty-one days of posts between January 10th and January 30th of 2021. Hello again to those who read previous days, and hello to those of you who may have stumbled across this post “out of order”. You should go back and read from Day 1, for a few reasons.

Here we are at day ten and we’re circling back around to faith as the main topic. As you can see from the title, I sarcastically asked for both faith and proof. It is human instinct to want proof, evidence of something being true, but we as Christians are asked to live by faith. In fact, we aren’t Christians until we demonstrate faith by believing in the gift of salvation, for which we have only the proof offered by others of the faith, the words of the Bible, and that feeling we get when we know…really know, that the Holy Spirit is near.
