Rhyme and Reason
Thursday, Apr. 25, 2002 - 23:48

Part of the big 'What-if-I-fail' think (thank you Keith for your lovely guestbook entry by the way :) ) is what am I going to do with my writing gifts. So far, writing, which I admit has been submitted to no tests more rigorous than the school short story competition, is one of the few things that I am confident of and really enjoy doing. This week I'm 'fasting' both writing stories and reading fanfiction (didn't stop me from coming up with some great ideas for a spoof and for a cute story), mainly to prove that I can if I want to, and it's opened up some perspective on the subject.

Writing stories being such a compulsion, and dare I say, talent of mine, I want to do something with it. I believe God gave me this passion for a reason, but although I enjoy the stories I write and I know other people do to, I don't know where the whole Godly plan comes in. At one point, I thought maybe that my stories promote my Christian viewpoint, but it's not exactly the stuff Christian parents will be rushing out to buy their children. More likely I'll have the Anti-Harry-Potter people cutting me into small pieces for the magic in the Crystal Set before I meet Christian fans who felt benefited by my insight into the dark side of human nature and of escapism versus confrontation.

So what do I do? I'll just keep writing, I guess.
