Christian Writers Downunder: My Dark Night of the Soul - Melinda Jensen
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-dark-night-of-soul-melinda-jensen.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, May 11, 2015. My Dark Night of the Soul - Melinda Jensen. I'm no theological scholar but I’ve long been captivated by the writings of sixteenth century mystic, St John of the Cross. His exquisite treatise on the soul’s journey towards union with its Creator draws me in as surely as the moon draws the tides. I disagree. There are. For decades I blamed myself for my lack – for not ‘hearing’ God correctly despite dedication to His Word. I sought pastoral...But don’t gra...

Christian Writers Downunder: The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/dianne-riley-writers-greatest-hurdle.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Thursday, May 21, 2015. The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION. The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION. How to get over it. It's personal, so it isn't easy. It's also our polished and re-polished gem - who wouldn't love it? But it comes and it's crushing. After waiting all those months (just like the publisher's website advised) no invitation, no letter, no email. No congratulations for presenting a great piece of work! Recently it struck me. We are in good company. In the end, ...

Christian Writers Downunder: TEMPTATION BELONGS in OUR STORIES
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/temptation-belongs-in-our-stories.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, May 18, 2015. TEMPTATION BELONGS in OUR STORIES. It hits every one of us. From Lucifer wanting to be like the Most High, to Jesus, the Son of God. How to describe it and where does it come from? It has many definitions like; being enticed to do something on the promise of pleasure or gain; the act of being lured to do evil. It is age old and it is powerful. Besides the hook, ' Everything can change in a heartbeat'. I have used this theme in my novel, The Tie That Binds.

Cant log in to Blogger? Thursday, July 31, 2014. Investment Opportunity, May Require Some Effort. It's taken a while, but I believe that I am finally growing up. Really, I mean it! You see, I have come to realise the importance of investing. Not just financially, but in so many different areas; health, knowledge, and especially in regards to keeping my house tidy! Why is this a sign that I am perhaps reaching some semblance of maturity? Ultimately, I want to live my life in a way that pleases my Lord Jes...

Christian Writers Downunder: June 2014
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, June 30, 2014. This is my first blog entry for Christian Writer’s Downunder and I hope that those who take a few minutes from their day to read it, will be glad they did. It’s quite daunting to write something for an audience of writers. A similar feeling emerges when I sing in front of other singers; actually, no, it’s more like when I sang in front of a group of highly trained speech therapists! Is my vocal tract worthy of the title of voice teacher? However, God will gi...

Christian Writers Downunder: On effectively disguising characters
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/on-effectively-disguising-characters.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, May 4, 2015. On effectively disguising characters. Who are you calling a cow? Some people have a natural ability to make up characters from scratch; characters who are believable. People have asked me how I make my characters seem real. How do I make them complex and rounded? However, early in my writing journey I learned how dangerous this technique can be. If your disguise is not strong enough, you could offend and hurt someone. Like the girl I called a cow. Or 'No, I'm ...

Cant log in to Blogger? Friday, May 1, 2015. Day one mixed media portrait. These thoughts were bought to you by sally graham. May 2, 2015 at 12:52 PM. Fascinating to watch, Sally. Art is so similar to writing. The broad picture first and then the details fall into place. (That is after a great deal of hard work.) Then the culmination when the clearer picture all makes perfect sense. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Stories and poems of Imagination and Hope. Freelance Writer/Editor; Queensland. The Nam...
