Rewriting - Having a Little Faith

I been praying a lot of the past week. I had a story that was going nowhere. I closed my eyes and quietly went into prayer. While in prayer I heard God talking to me. I can't quite explain it, but he told me to rewrite my current story and  and change the gender of my main character. I was trying to write a story with the protagonist as male. But it was like I couldn't get it working and I was lost and had no inspiration. I force the words out, but they weren't flowing like they do when I write with a female protagonist. I had put all my strength and energy into my story, but I was stuck and nothing was happening.

After Sunday's mass, I came home and got onto my computer and pondered what had happened during mass. I knew he was trying to tell me to change the gender of my main character, my protagonist. I changed the gender and prayed for a name for my main character I got Madison Rachel Decker. I then changed the plot a little and began writing after getting my plot, and characters done. I always play out my stories. I got the tip from some friends.

Since Sunday I have wrote 4,430 words and my story is flowing slowly. I think this is what God was telling me to write. I believe he is teaching me to write. I was given a gift, a gift of words. Now I know that writing is my main passion and I love this gift I have. I'm always learning to improve my writing skills. I'm in a few yahoo writing groups and I have found one that I'm in is got people who are helping me improve my gift and look at the mistakes I make. I have even gotten someone who is editing my story. I'm thankful for these friends I've made in this group. I like them alot and they are very friendly.

Tuesday Night

All day today I've been praying and reading scripture as I'm a devote catholic. I guess you can say I'm a good writer and I have a strong faith. I feel my writing is a gift from God. Today I have written about just over a 1,000 today. I love it when I'm inspired and can write. I love nothing better than sitting at my computer and letting the words flow out.

Over the last few days I have written about 5,000 words. This is a goal I set myself for each day. I make a plan for the day, and that is to try and write 1,000 or more. I know I have no formal education from a college or university. The thing is I am a self taught writer. I love the passion I can put into my writing and I'm glad I can show others I am intelligent and can write novels. I have written one novel and I'm working on my second. Healing the Wounds was finished in November last year. Now here I pledge to write Having a Little Faith as my second book.

Weekend Work Schedule

All weekend I done nothing but write on my two favorite story-lines I've been writing this week. ON my Having a Little Faith is going good. I got stuck a little and my partner and muse helped me through the tough times. On my gay story I wrote over two thousand words in a short time on Friday. Yesterday I wrote almost thirteen hundred words on my Having a Little Faith. my Gay story is called Secrets Boys Hide.

I'm hoping I can finish these stories somewhat soon. I love writing and it lets me get my emotions and feeling onto paper so to speak. My partner is one my main sources of inspiration, along with my church girls. I hoping my gay story gets finished as I love reading gay stories, and want to try my hand at writing one.

Monday Evening Inspiration

Right now I'm writing two novels, which can be hard, but I'm finding it rather simple right now. First my second novel is about a young boy who loses his only loving guardian, his grandmother. His living aunt and uncle don't want him and he is put into the foster care system. A loving family foster him and teach him things he didn't believe were possible. He finally has a second chance at a loving home.

My third is about a young adult, aged sixteen who parents are fighting, and they decide to get a divorce and  the main character is trying to cope with his mom gone, his dad finding a new partner and getting remarried. His father's new wife has two very young children and the main character is also fighting an inner battle about being catholic and gay. 

While scanning my computer for viruses and other crap on this computer I began reading a book I got  out the library and found it inspiring. That is what I've been doing most of the day. Writing my stories and reading tons. I believe to be a good writer, you have to read as much as you can. I love reading gay fiction and young adult fiction.

New Story Itea - Bonds of Friendship

For the last few days, I have been working on a new story idea. If you want you can look at the page that give you a peek at the excerpt of this story. I have been writing non-stop for four days and I am on chapter three and 5,000+ right now. I have been working hard on writing this story. I believe that over the past few years, I have been getting better at writing and with my muse working with me, the stories are good.

I read my Holy Bible, then pray about getting some guidance, strength and let the power of God and the Holy Spirit to guide my mind, hands on writing the best story only I can write. I believe that if it was meant to be, I'll write well. If the story is wrong, that means that I'm writing the strong story for me right now. I believe God gave me the gift of writing I have to touch base with him first, before writing each day. Some days I can't write, but others I end up writing 1,000 to 2,000 words a day.

Hitting 5,000 words

I have been getting the inspiration on writing o my current story. A Gift you Don't Have to Earn. I'm hitting the five thousand mark tonight. I am finding this story is flowing like water right now. I haven't written much today, but the last thirty minutes I've hit the five thousand mark, which I think is cool and great milestone. I guess I finally got inspired to get some words down. Even if I have only written about three hundred words, it something which is good.

Update - A Gift You Don't Have to Earn

I have tried three time to rewrite this story. I have found that I have been forgetting to do two major things when I write. I should first read a scripture and pray about the scripture and my writing. I found 3rd time around is working well. I have done my prologue and now onto Chapter One. I knew this story is going to be hard to write, but it going to be a wonderful story to write. I love writing, and when I can't write I am depressed and at rock bottom for some unknown reason.

I wrote 1500 words yesterday, today I hoping on writing that same amount or close to it. I feel so alive and free from any worries when I write. I let my mind do the writing, but my hands do the typing. My partner is my muse. When they are working we email each other on their breaks at work. When they're home they inspire me to write at my best. Plus on Thursday our friend visits, which is awesome. I love J.K. and they are very insightful and good to run off things I'm thinking about writing about and I get some good vibes from him.
