    @thewirelessblade To start off, anything I say is going to come from personal experience, and not everything I say will apply to your situation. So yeah, pick and choose what you take from this, but here goes nothing.

    I’ve hit spots like that, too. I’ve felt guilty when I sit down at the keyboard, like I’m not supposed to write. Like it’s not only wrong for me to write whatever it is specifically that I’m writing, but like I probably shouldn’t be writing at all. But you know, what I’ve realized is, I don’t think that could be God talking. I mean, God gave me a love for writing. Why would He give me something to use for His glory and then tell me not to use it? If He made me physically unable to do it in order to guide me in a different direction, that would be one thing, but just a feeling that I shouldn’t write at all? Maybe I’m wrong, but that sounds more like something Satan would say.

    Now, if your conscience is steering you away from a certain topic, that requires a little more thought. But it doesn’t sound like that’s what’s going on.

    Can I just say, I think it’s great that you’re asking for advice with this. I’ve dealt with this kind of thing in some big areas in my life, and I probably could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I’d asked for help sooner instead of keeping it all in. So kudos to you. Figuring out what God’s will is has been one of the most confusing parts of my life so far. We might as well all be here figuring it out together, right?
