I give thanks and praise to God for the small measure of peace He has given me recently. I am back to reading again and shall soon take up my keyboard and write again. I started to attend a writers group led by an excellent about-to-be published historical fiction writer. After taking to heart the constructive criticism of my writing, I realized that I needed to go back to the fundamentals of good prose. I am going all the way back to work on sentence structure, paragraph structure, and style/texture. Once I have improved beyond embarrassing myself, I hope to go back to the group.
Most of my past writing has been non-fiction essays or papers for school, and in recent times this blog. Now I am trying my hand at fiction writing--a completely different way of expression. When I was writing creatively in high school, I concentrated on poetry, and at the time I concurred with writers from olden times who believed that poetry was the highest form of literature. But we must fast-forward several hundred years later to the present day where the novel, graphic novel, and screenplay are the most popular media for telling stories. Writing fiction is more difficult than it first appears, and I must go through much failure before anyone will like my stories. I hope my Lord Jesus Christ will help me to persevere so that I can tell the many stories locked up inside my head; if the Lord allows, I hope to give greater glory to Him, by blessing readers with good reads. It is a tall order, and I still feel too much, but by His grace.....
