Here’s your weekly inspiration for Christian Writers. Enjoy!
Hey there, Christian Indies,
Have you ever sat down with the intention of crafting a wonderful read, only to find yourself staring at a blinking cursor and a blank page for hours, wondering how or even where to begin?
Yeah, me too.
Honestly, I believe we’ve all been that writer at some point or another.
We try everything to break (or avoid!) the seemingly judgemental stare of that flashing cursor – walks in the park, trips to the store (I am particularly guilty of this, and my bank balance shows it!), even housework!
Maybe this is you right now, or maybe you fear this will be you at the beginning of the upcoming National Novel Writing Month. If so, never fear! We on the podcast have a potential answer for you!
What if I told you the secret to banishing the blank page had nothing to do with plotting, or planning, or forming a plan of attack, but had absolutely everything to do with charging ahead – literally, just writing anything that comes to mind?
“But wait!” You say, “I can’t just write down whatever comes to mind! No one will want to read that!” Well, Indie, no one is going to read your unedited sprint (unless you’re crazy like us and insist on sharing them!), but as my co-host Jen always says, “you can’t edit a blank page.” Plus, it turns out, there’s actually some really cool scientific stuff going on when you are a prolific sprinter!
It’s going to be a great show, filled with lots of good reasons why you should add writing sprints to your writing routine.
See you there,
Jamie
