The Writer’s Desert



Still others, alas, take a journey such as mine and step into the barren wasteland of the Writer’s Desert.desert-790640_1920





Oh, and the devil.




And with my flawed incompetence wrapped within His unlimited capabilities, I glimpse something hazy on that horizon, something shimmering with promise and strength, purpose and fulfillment. And—


Why is Satan’s voice so much louder than my Lord’s?

  1. Laurie,

    So much of what you write here could, with some tweaking, apply to pastoring as well. You have captured the soul of more than just a writer here.


  2. Wow! What a place to be, but what a place to see ahead of you! Jesus gifted you with great talents, talents like no other has received because you are an original creation. Give him your gift every morning and ask him to use you with your gifts that day in the way He wants to use you. One day might be with your kids, one day might be decorating your house or doll house or knitting, or helping a friend or teaching or………… AND one day will be writing that next blog, book or letter. You are very creative because God made you that way.


  3. I love how open you are about your struggles—way to put Satan in his place. And I can’t help myself, I have to say—you’re an amazing writer! Everyone will know it when they get to meet Tinsel and crush on Santa’s son. 😉


  4. Laurie, this is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing the realness in your writing journey. And also thank you for allowing my manuscript to be one of the two you’re working on as a beta reader. You are a light to the writing world. Thanks for being you!
