@obrian-of-the-surface-world I’ll be praying for you! I think as writers, we have a unique call and ability to walk in the pain of a thousand people. Meaning, when we immerse ourselves in our characters’ pain to create believability, we are immersing ourselves in the pain of all the readers who will deeply relate to that characters pain. It’s a way for us to have compassion (co-passion — suffering with) on our readers and love them.
I’m so sorry to hear about the death of your mom. I’ll be praying for you and all of your family!
I’m sorry to hear you’re in a tough spot with your writing and with your work. :/ I’ll definitely be praying for you. I agree with what Josiah said — sometimes prayer doesn’t instantly make things easier to bear or to be joyful in. But I think it always keeps us oriented in the right direction, even when it’s hard.
