Here&#8217;s CJ:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Years ago I read a novel by Jeri Massi called <em>Some Through the Fire<\/em>. It was everything I wanted my writing to be. Massi had created compelling characters, a plot I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about, and a great message. I was sure my writing could never come close to being so engaging and powerful, and I was thoroughly discouraged. Why bother with all the hard work I was doing? What could I possibly write that anyone would want to read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I had great respect for author <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamesscottbell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">James Scott Bell,<\/a> so I took a chance and sent him an email, sharing how I was feeling. I would understand if he never responded, as busy as he was. But he did. I was blessed when he took the time to write me a thoughtful response that gave me the encouragement to press on with my writing journey. Jim told me that no two writers are the same, and no one can truly duplicate the other. No one had <em>my <\/em>calling but me. He compared it to what God does with spiritual gifts. I had something unique to contribute.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBe the best C.J. there is,\u201d Jim said. \u201cThere is no other. And if you give your full attention to your own writing, not comparing yourself to anyone but just digging deeper into your story, the concerns will go away. Writing itself is always the best antidote to the writing blues.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve never forgotten his words, even all these years later, or the fact that he cared enough to write them. Do they speak to you, as well? No one can write your story. If God has put it in your heart to write, there\u2019s no need to question your calling. He wouldn\u2019t have given you the desire if He didn\u2019t have a purpose for it. I never looked back after that, and I\u2019ve been blessed to see some of my writing dreams come true (although I\u2019ve got plenty more!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I encourage you today to be brave and take that first step toward your dreams.
