Into the Fire

Writers often face times of not being able to put the words on a page. Sometimes it's under pressure when they know they have to perform, to write those elusive words. Other times it's after starting something and suddenly the words won't surface. And still again it's when the desire is strong but the creativity lags. This is the peril of being a writer. 

When the struggle comes, and maybe for some it never will, I have no suggestions. If possible, take the break from words. Breathe deep. Pray. Continue however you must. If you can, ignore the quandary. If not, press on. Is there a foolproof solution? I highly doubt it, and I'm relatively certain there is no one-size-fits-all. 

The words will come at some point. You know they will. 

Father, please bless your writers and help them through every obstacle. Continue to reassure and lead us through all the struggles and all the joys. We thank you for the privilege of writing words. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
