What giants do you fight in your writing career?
Be intentional about your writing time.
Test and see what works best for your writing time.
“The giant of discouragements shows up
when we least expect him.”
~ Karen Porter ~
What Giants are you fighting in your writing career?
David in the Bible faced the giant, Goliath, with five stones. Have you ever wondered why he picked up five stones? Karen Porter shares her insight on David’s story today.
Do you face the giant of discouragement when you write or think about writing your book? Everyone faces discouragement in life. When discouragement comes knocking on your door, know you are not alone, and God is faithful to help you.
Being a writer can bring many discouraging moments, but keep your eyes focused on the big picture. Our failures, struggles, and discouraging times help us become better people and writers. Find ways to remember the good and know discouragement doesn’t last forever. You may struggle with it for a long season, but you will see progress as you keep moving, keep writing, and keep working toward your goal of publishing your book.
Is your giant the giant fear? Fear holds you back from the place God wants you to go, and the writing people need to read.
As with any giant in your life, be intentional on how you can slay the giants keeping you from writing. When you read books about writing they inspire your creativity and educate you on the craft of writing.
Today Karen will inspire your writing time, and help you overcome the giants keeping you from writing.
“We must fight the giant of fear because…
we can’t let fear make our decisions.”
