Holding Out For A Fairytale

The questions below come directly from the book that I am currently obsessed over: When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy. This chapter (Chapter Ten: Holding Out For A Fairytale, which is from the book also) is about singleness and how you should be happy and content during the single part of your life. It talks about how you should use this season of singleness as a time to grow closer to The Lord and find ways to praise Him and glorify Him. Here are four questions that Leslie Ludy asks at the end of her lovely chapter:

1. What do you hope for and desire in a spouse? Are your desires based on shallow, worldly standards, or are you seeking someone with the attributes of Christ?

2 What are the fears that compel some singels-even perhaps you-to search frantically for a spouse rather than patiently waiting on God?

3. Are you willing to wait for a Christlike girl or guy, or have you been lowering your standards out of impatience?

4. In what ways does God need to change your desires to match His desires for your life?

These questions are very mind and heart opening. I hope that you prayerfully and seriously think about these questions and about your answers. Thanks so much for checking out my blog and I sincerely hope that you find this post inspiring and helpful.

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have! ...
