Last weekend I had the opportunity to be part of the faculty at Weekend with the Writers. There I got to meet Kristen Heitzmann, an amazing award-winning writer. I sat in on her class and found my passion for writing reignited. Here's one of the quotes that reminded me of exactly why I write.
I'd love to know how you feel when you write.

As a non-fiction and primarily devotional writer, I see a photograph of part of my heart on paper...or computer screen as the case may be.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, that's beautiful! I've never thought of it that way, but it's so true. Thanks for sharing! Blessings, E
DeleteJust like the meme, Edie. That's why I write. :)
ReplyDeleteAne, it shows in every word you write! Blessings, E
DeleteInside of me is a writer that will not be satisfied until done. I think I’ve overcome but then, here she comes again, with more information that has to be shared.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie, we all have that person living inside of us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Blessings, E
DeleteI feel very satisfied when I write. It completes me.
ReplyDeleteI feel very satisfied when I write. It completes me.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I feel the exact same way! Blessings, E
DeleteWhen I write, I feel like it makes God smile.
ReplyDeleteVictoria, I think that is so true! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your insight! Blessings, E
Deletewhat everyone else said!! I feel like a dam on a river, or perhap the sluice that releases the waters; when I'm writing the words flow and it's exhilarating to watch them come to life
ReplyDeleteRobin, I love that feeling! Blessings, E
DeleteIt was what I was born to do. Plus what everyone else has said, too. :-)
ReplyDeletePat, it definitely was what you were born to do! I'm always so blessed by your books! Blessings, E
DeleteI go through many emotions when I write. Joy, fear, frustration (when I can't find the right words), satisfaction, and the list goes on! Ultimately...joy knowing I'm writing for Him!
ReplyDeleteDarlene, or yes, there are so many emotions! Thanks for sharing, Blessings, E
DeleteWhen I write most of the times I feel empathetic and frustrated. I do it anyway. Once in a great while something great comes out of it.
ReplyDeleteBrian, that is so true. It's those rare, perfect times that keep us coming back for more! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! Blessings, E
DeleteJust reading the comment above mine--I so understand Brian Sommers's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSometimes writing kicks my tail and beats me up, and I wonder why I'm doing this.
Ohhhh, but then there are those rare times when my words come out just right and feel so good flowing from my soul through my fingers. And then someone says, "Thank you. I didn't know anyone ever felt this way."
Julie, ditto! Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings, E
DeleteIt was what I was born to do. Plus what everyone else has said, too. :-)

Today I wrote in about 3 and a half hours, the chapter of a fanfiction I've been writing for the past month or so. While I wrote it, it was just as if I was seeing, living the scene. I felt what the characters felt, I wasn't even very aware of my actual surroundings. My mind was completely in the story, new ideas and appropriate words came along as I wrote it down. And when I finished writing it, I get this feeling of awesomeness, maybe it's oxitocine or dopamine, I don't know about those things, but it's this overwhelming feeling of happiness, wellbeing, accomplishment, like a rush, like a high, even (I've never been high, haha). NOW!!! This doesn't always happen of course. Sometimes I write something and I hate it and I can't move forward and every words feels like actual garbage. But when I get days like today, I feel blessed. I finished writing it about 2 hours ago and I'm s kind of feeling it, lol, kind of similar to when you see someone you le and you just wanna smile and laugh. Amazing feeling. I wish I could write well at will. But writing, in mi opinion, it's a thing of he heart, not so much of the mind.
