Prayerfully write down three goals you feel God is nudging you toward in your writing in 2013. Make these as concrete and specific as possible. 

Bring these to share with the group on Wednesday evening. On-line friends, please share in Comments.

Do you need a swift kick?

Fellow Writers (my dear, dear friends), 

What have you been writing lately? 

(insert sound of snowflakes falling)

What?! No sounds of pencil scratching on paper?

Don't let the winter doldrums get you down! Set your New Year's resolution to write something every day or, at the very least, every week!

I am here to encourage you to WRITE!  Get out that pencil and get moving! I expect a full report by COB tomorrow.

Love,
Dawn

P.S. Here is my report:
  • Finishing up a devotion called "Believing" about tough faith questions for baaaaa.com.
  • Working on another devotion about a broken relationship.
  • Planning to type up my edited book manuscript (scribbles, red marks, and all)....pray!


And just for fun -- if you really have writer's block, try writing on this photo prompt.
