The Power of ONE in a Writer's Life

by Rachael M. Colby @RachaelColby7

The writing road is an arduous journey. “Suddenly I question everything, especially my abilities as a writer, and I just want to turn and run the other way,” a writing friend said.

When we’re not making progress as we’d hoped, discouragement can set in, and temptation beckons us to turn away from our call. I’ve found it’s harder to go in the opposite direction than where God’s leading—which is forward.

What is Art?

God  is glorified when we put words on paper.

“In the beginning, God created . . . .” Gen.1:1.

On my plane ride home from Switzerland this week, I sat by an artist. She showed me recent drawings in her sketch pad and photographs of her paintings. I was in awe. Her work went beyond realism and into an expressive realm of profound artistic mastery.

“I found my voice last year,” she said. That’s what she called it, her “voice.” We use that same term in writing, but I didn’t realize painters and other artists of all types used it, too.
