Thanks, Erica! So much fun to hear that! Blessings on your journey too … you’re right that the “why” is so important, not just for now but for the rest of our journey too.

I was walking to the lake near my house, praying, when I looked up and saw the giant standing in my way.
“Saw” is a tricky word; saying that I sensed it might be more accurate. I’ll leave you to decide […]














Wow, I really connect with your story, Rachel. I’ve been going through something similar. I identified it as many other sins, but not fear — except fear is a perfect way to describe it. I picked up your book and can’t wait to read it. Blessings on your continued journey in faith and writing. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your story, Rachel! Fear is such a root cause of my struggles as a writer. Thanks for the encouragement to have faith and press on.
I loved this article 🙂 Thank you so much, Rachel! It was also very timely for me as I’ve been struggling with both my own health and the health of my family and I was pretty much about to give up on my novel (the theme of which is, ironically, courage).
Thanks for this.
I really appreciate your encouragement, Rachel. I’m also reading your book Taerith and I absolutely love it! Keep growing and writing! The world needs your words!
oh my goodness Rachel! This article is so good. Thank you for putting your insight into this. The fears you listed are all ones that I’ve struggled with, and I am SO blessed by this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for this article Miss. Rachel!
I’ve been struggling with this so much lately and have hardly written a thing, this has encouraged and challenged me thank so much, you again!
You’re welcome! I’m really glad I could encourage you with some of my story :). We’re in this together!

I needed this. I’ll be publishing my first soon, and have only just recently really focused on starting to build an audience. It kind of feels like going all the way back to the beginning and I’ve struggled with discouragement off and on for several months. Thanks for your honesty, Rachel. This was a much needed reminder.
You’re welcome, Kate! All the best as you do the hard but significant work of building an audience.
I nearly flipped my lid when I saw your name on here!!
I may or may not be listening to Burning Light for the I-don’t-remember-what-timth on my kindle…
Thank you so much for this, I feel that I fear a lot less about writing than some people do (partially because I have been so secretive about letting anyone read it), but this is definitely a wonderful reminder to remember why I write, and that there is a purpose for it, not just my present writing, but for all my life that God uses me to write.
Thanks for writing such amazing fantasy, I recommend it all the time!!
