I appreciated considering what I do in these three "easy, but simple" spheres of the writing life. "Often" (likely because of focusing issues) is my biggest challenge. I have found that using a timer is helpful; there are also some fun timed writing sprints on YouTube.
Wow. What a beautiful post. I especially love this:
“All my writing, in some fashion, has to turn a reader to Jesus, and that means I must know Him well if I want to move a reader’s gaze His way. I don’t have anything good, wise, or helpful to say as a writer apart from what God has provided in Scripture.”
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who talks out loud to herself and paces the house while in the writing process! Appreciate all of these words, Glenna! I really have found writing what I'm learning from Him/His Word is the best approach (at least, for me).
That is what I've always heard... to be a writer, simply write! And, I do - with my whole heart, a new heart that Jesus gave me when He saved me. I love your words. Very enjoyable and helpful, offering solid truth and a foundation (His Word) to work from. As another Christian writer, I believe what you've detailed here is so beneficial and I'm grateful. Thank you.
I appreciate the advice to pray for your readers. I think that’s something easy to forget. As a preacher, I pray for the congregation I will be preaching to. And of course the same would apply to the people I am writing to!
Amen! Writers simply keep writing! Thank you for the encouragement to keep going, Glenna!

I agree 100%.
