“Become bored with your writing” (Jenaya R. Curry) great tip! I certainly looked back several times at my published book “Two Caesarean Sections and a Normal Delivery My Story” and became turned off by my writing style. I felt like the emoji monkey hiding my face behind my hands ? this little creature! My ‘stale’ writing caused me to abandon writing though, passion is one powerful feeling and I decided to pick up my pen again.
‘Abyler5’ summed up my thoughts on ‘Writing is a Skill-Act Like It’ (Noah Education 2018) when Abyler stated “talent alone is meaningless without hard work and practice” (February, 2018). In a spiritual context where the natural ability is a gift (1Cor12:4-11), we are encouraged to pay attention to our gift, think deeply on it and commit ourselves to it (1Tim4:14-15).
In conclusion, by using our gifts I believe it will be perfected in us.

I’m so glad you started writing again! I went through a similar experience. Now I just don’t really have the discipline to sit down and write anything more than trash.
What experience did you go through Lindsay?
abandoning my writing
Oh I see. You are certainly not writing trash. Once you begin to write, your work has meaning. I am also glad you continued! Lindsay, you did write trash once!…In your comment above (get it?the word trash ?)
Thanks for your comments.
