Writing Projects


I've had a bit of a break from writing anything but my blog this past month. Prior to that I had several different projects on the go......
  • I'd been working on finishing the music for a lyric I'd written, God's Miracles. I hadn't looked at it in weeks, so when I went into my music program to listen to where I'd left off, I was pleasantly surprised.....it was nearly complete, and just needs a little 'tinkering.'

  • A few months ago, I had started a book on the topic of forgiveness. I'm still working on the format, but it will be a series lessons, each one containing a story and a song lyric/poem dealing with a particular aspect of forgiveness, along with applicable scriptures and questions. I'd like to include the sheet music and a cd of the songs, but that might be a little too ambitious...and also limit who may be interested...not everyone is into music! It's going to be awhile before I finish the writing portion anyway, so we'll see where it goes.

  • I had also started a short story about my Mom's hope chest. I 'hope' to get back to that very soon. I started out writing it as a true story, but as I was writing, I could see so many possibilities for the direction this story could take....if I let it. The problem is, I generally write non-fiction, so I'm having a hard time letting the story take it's own direction! But I'm working on it!

I know not all of my readers are writers, but for those who are, what are you working on?

I can't wait to get a glimps! You are so talented Deb and I know it will be a wonderful finished project.

I'm working on a Bible study series for the ladies of my church. I honored to be asked to do this when I felt up to it. And...I'm always hoping one day to get my book done..

God bless your endeavors to Glorify the LORD in all you do.

Seems like it's all I can do anymore to just get a blog post written once a week now! I hate not having more time to write! Maybe soon!

My current WIP is on faith, based on Hebrews 11. I'm now officially to the half-way point with a goal of finishing by February's end. Ambitious, yet I need a deadline or it will drag on forever. I think I'll make it. Made my goal this week, and will start on next week's goal this weekend (at least I hope to).

Thanks for checking in. Keep to the pen. Sounds like you've got a lot going on as well. So much fun, is it not?

You have lots of neat-sounding projects going there! I'm currently in a sort of dry spell. Not much flowing at the moment.

Thanks for dropping by.
