I Finally Got It Right
Have you heard about the new website called Scribd?
It’s called the writers version of Youtube.
Ever since I joined the community I have read so many great pieces of material and met so many like-minded individuals.
This morning I received an early morning call from my friend Kenya. I guess she reads my blog every morning before work. She called to bless me by reading a piece she wrote about understanding your need to give your gift/love/talent but failing to find a suitable medium/person who will receive it or appreciate it properly.
While she read it to me I felt like God was patting me on my back and telling me it will be okay.
I saw her piece on Scribd and I’d like to share it with you.
It’s late and I just got home from work.
Today was a magnificent day. I realized something very profound today.
I am definitely a JOURNALIST.
I wrote the hell out of my story today. My sources were responsive. My tone was just right. AND… it was a news story. Sadly, it was the story about the young man here in Houston who chopped up his ex girlfriend because she started dating someone else and then grilled her remains on his patio.
~shakes head~
I don’t EVER want someone to love me that much. I’d much rather be with someone who loves themselves.
I’m thinking that my problem with my writing lies in doing my stories the way my publisher instructs me to. I get so nervous when I’m trying to use her method of writing that my mind freezes. She’s so damn smart that I want to impress her. She has great ideas and an amazing teaching style. I’m grateful for the wisdom she has passed on to me and I can’t wait to receive more.
Thanks Lord for showing me that I’m versatile in my writing style when I have patience.
