Short story, done. Summer, (long) over.

  
                                    Short story, done. Summer, (long) over.

 Hey friends! Over the summer, I worked to re-read one of my absolute favorite series, Lord of the Rings. I had somewhat of an idea for a story in mind, and needed inspiration, some reference to get it going. The process in itself took months, growing into something unexpected. Although I think originally, I wanted for the story to be completed within a month or two, Where is Your Rider, took four months to both write and edit. Truthfully, I can be indecisive when it comes to choosing a narrative, and a perfectionists when it comes to creating in general. My ultimate goal, then, was to see it through. Even if it didn't match another writer's skill level, or Tolkien's descriptions, even if it wouldn't be something that'd make me famous.

 Where is Your Rider has been the first original fictional work I've completed in probably what's been years. (I'm low-key kind of proud of myself) I've learned an immense amount during the process; to share my ideas with others, to seek out help, to indent (more than I've been doing) and to fall back in love with writing.

To make what could be a long synopsis short; it's about a blue haired heiress and the warrior by the sea, their search for something that can't be bought back. You can read it here.

I'd love to hear from you, whether there's a project you're working on, or if you have the time, feel free to leave a review, or even just whatever, talk to me.

Things God Has Taught Me This Year

In the times you've been given something you don't deserve, no matter what it may be, you don't have to reject it. Learn to accept gifts and grace with gratitude. Instead of apologizing for every little mistake, thank people for their patience, for their kindness, for their commitment. If you can't do much, then simply let them know what an positive impact they've had on you. You don't have to punish yourself for sinning. Earlier this week, my pastor spoke about the ways in which we atone for hurting those we care about. You can't take back things you've said, and undo damage you've done. Similarly, when you sin against God - or anyone, punishing yourself in any way is not the proper solution. If you've apologized, the next step is rebuilding the relationship, working to avoid making the same mistake before. It's in the past. Your sin is covered, Jesus has paid the price for your sin. It is not your job to see to your consequence. Ple...
