Writing: Keeping Track

Staying Organized

  • Make Lists
  • Always keep Pen/Pencil on hand
  • Always keep Paper/small notebook handy whenever possible
  • Write things down right away when something comes to mind
    • You can always come back to this thought/idea later for reference
  • Color coordinate Journals/notebooks
  • Alphabetize your Journals/notebooks
  • Organize Journals/notebooks by Category/Theme/Genre

Writing

  • Write Daily/everyday even if just 20-30 minutes a day!
  • Write a journal entry Daily (it does not have to be long) Vent
  • Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly Reflections:
    1. you can keep different Journals/notebooks for this if you please/wish.
    2. If you’re not writing daily, how can you be invested in what it is, you love to do?
  • Write a Poem
  • Make a list of titles or chapters you can later feed on and off of (no matter the book).
    • 1 Idea can lead to plenty of other ideas
  • Re-read what you write, multiple times
  • Edit and Revise when needed

Who are you Writing For?

  1. Write for yourself first, before writing for anyone else.
  2. Write for God ultimately (giving back to him and his people).
  3. Are you writing for children?
  4. Are you writing for adults?
  5. Are you writing for both adults and children?
  6. Are you writing for teenagers?
  7. Who is your audience for the genre you are writing about?
  8. What do you wish to receive back from your work/writing?
    • Monetary Success/profit, accomplishment, fulfillment, satisfaction, release, coping mechanism?
  9. What and who is this benefiting when you write?
    • Yourself, others, God? 
Writing takes time. The beauty of being able to write is that you can write from anywhere, anytime, at any given point, especially when you have pen and paper on hand! Or you have Wi-Fi and a computer, tablet, phone that works, or access to one. Don't think too hard or too much, just write away right away.
My 9th, grade English teacher told and advised us/her students to "just write, don't think just write." (Ms. Dina) The best advice given regarding writing. This stuck with me. 
I will add to this, "don't feel just write, although we do feel, we want to feel the emotions when and while reading works of art, works that writers create with their mind, their imagination, their fingertips, their heart!" P.L. It must be felt with your heart not your emotions, because emotions are temporary so is this world we live in. Everything in it including the people will fade. It is up to us WRITERS to make sure that we leave our imprint and lasting words that will stick to a person's heart not just live in their minds, but to live inside their hearts! Now that is a lasting impression.

Invest in God’s Word

Investing in Yourself

Taking the time, while taking your time to read God’s word even if just one verse a day.

In taking your time to learn and understand what it is the good Lord wants you to. By praying and asking God to help you understand what it is you are about to read before you read his word and or Bible verse for the day.

When taking your time to read your daily word (God’s word), you are therefore investing in yourself. When you choose to apply what it is you read from God’s word you are therefore investing in God’s kingdom, his future and your future, for the better!

What are you looking to understand from reading God’s word? Ask yourself and ask God what he wants you to know and learn for the day, or that week. He will guide your steps, each way, no matter where you go.
