Out Loud


Write It, Girl is having a contest and giving away one ticket to the Allume Social Conference. And I'm dying to go... So to enter, they asked 'What does it mean to be a Write It, Girl?'.

 It's funny because in answering the question posed, I feel a bit like I'm in a pageant or something... I've been linking up with them on Tuesdays, but it's been with much trepidation. I feel like God says a lot of things about me. He calls me a lot of things: Beloved, Child, Heir, Daughter... But I've always had trouble believing any of them. And one He's recently been asking me to grab and hold on to is writer. Me? I've written volumes of journals and poems, letters and notes, to-do lists and dreams...  So I'm saying it out loud, I guess.  Calling myself a 'Write It Girl' means that I am a writer. Even if I write for only one. ~Praying that I always only write for The One, the True Author and Creator!

I have also loved jumping into and getting to know the Write It, Girl community. Such an inspiring group of others, all challenging and equipping each other in their faith, writing, lives... I'm not even quite sure how I stumbled upon the site, but I'm so thankful I did!

Happy Tuesday! I'll be back in a bit with the Better Writer's Challenge for today!

Better Writer Day 16~ Brainstorm

#BetterWriter



Today's Better Writer challenge was to pick two topics and brainstorm about them. Get them out onto paper and just dump all the ideas that come.  I love brainstorming. And I actually have a ton on my mind, so the practice was a great one for me this morning. I am also rejoicing that I actually had time to sit down and do it... Halle-lujah went back to school this morning, so I had the morning free to 'work'.

I must say that my favorite thing about this challenge so far has been that it has kept me consistently getting words out. I have really felt like God is calling me to write, but until I make it a priority, it obviously won't just happen... have to get pen to paper. And this has been just the 'monkey on my back' to get me to do it! I can't wait to fill y'all in on the project I'm working on~ hoping to reveal next week a culmination of some things God's been doing in my life! Today's assignment was just what I need to get some clearer thoughts on a small piece of what's next!
Completely random, but I also wanted to throw it out there that I made these last night. And they might have been awesome.
