@eden-anderson, Hey! And happy (late) New Year to you! 😀
2018 was a crazy year, but anyway, here we go.
What I Wrote:
A short story called Ocean of Beauty, which I entered into a writing contest, but didn’t win.
One page of a story I called Scars Like Mine, for a writing class.
About a million story ideas, beginnings, and snippets. Okay, maybe not a million, but a lot.
The first draft of my novella, which doesn’t really have a title.
The beginning of a collaboration story with one of my siblings.
What I Read:
The Unblemished Trilogy, by Sara Ella
The Beyond The Circle series, Eyes Wide Open, Blink, and Water Walker; by Ted Dekker
Case for Faith, by Lee Strobel
The Masterpiece, by Francine Rivers
Will Our Generation Speak, by Grace Mally
Yes, You Can and I Dare You, by Isabella Morganthal
…and probably a few others that I don’t remember. 😛
What I learned:
Oh my goodness, I learned so much. Where do I start? I learned…
How desperately I need grace.
I can finish draft.
There’s power in sincere prayer.
I actually like drinking tea. Who knew?
God can use the things we see as insignificant to touch peoples lives and do something powerful.
I can do nothing without God, but on the other hand I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
What it means to praise God through failure and mistakes.
I really like to sing.
My Writing Goals for 2019
Write another draft or two of my novella.
Outline and start the first draft of another story idea I have.
Write more of the story @noah-litle and I are writing.
Yeah, I’m not that great with goals. :-/
