For me arriving at the end of my life and not having written everything that was in my heart would be life wasted. I decided to give doubt the boot and get going. Don't waste another minute, Angie. Write your heart out and tell doubt farewell!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919434639446724942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494197888792366753.post-15589602852316669512010-07-14T12:27:24.973-06:002010-07-14T12:27:24.973-06:00The Doubter doesn't usually show his ugly face...The Doubter doesn't usually show his ugly face to me until the editing phase, and then there is nothing I can do to banish him.

I love when people can tell a clean, unique Christmas story because then I have something to give my mom. They're her favorite and I'm always on the hunt for good ones for her.<br /><br />Good luck, Angie!

That's a tough one for me. I have a hard time getting into Christmas before the fall season, and yet I have this unfinished story for the 12 days of Christmas. Sigh. Not working on that now, but I know about the "doubter" because I felt him working at me yesterday quite a bit. I doubted my current project, my timing for writing, and whether or not I "should" be taking a full week to focus on my writing when there are so many other things I "should" do. The only way I beat the doubter is to pray, read my Bible, and keep typing.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494197888792366753.post-10574132303901417232010-07-13T14:04:24.065-06:002010-07-13T14:04:24.065-06:00I just gave you a brand new blog award launched to...I just gave you a brand new blog award launched today at<br /><a href="http://rachellewrites.blogspot.com/2010/07/first-recipients-of-creative-brilliance.html" rel="nofollow"> RachelleWrites</a> Hope you enjoy it!Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494197888792366753.post-1991047029975541232010-07-12T21:29:14.846-06:002010-07-12T21:29:14.846-06:00I hate that nasty little voice.
