Doubtful Lynda vs. Determined Lynda
My literary fiction body of work entitled: A Complicated Love Song was written, rewritten, and written again. Although my novel is nowhere near the realm of a spiritual genre, it would not have been completed without the Lord guiding my thoughts, heart, and hands. The continuous writing toil was a four hundred seventeen day endurance competition. Who were the competitors? They both were me, Lynda Jones-Burns. I competed against myself—Doubtful Lynda versus Determined Lynda.
Doubtful Lynda had plenty to say. “Why go on this writing journey? Why put yourself under such tremendous pressure. You don’t know if this novel is any good. Who is the captive audience that is waiting and interested in reading a story dreamt up in Lynda-land?”
Determined Lynda was mild-mannered and vocally challenged. She cried, prayed, and worried a great deal. She willed herself to her office and sat in front of her computer with fingers on the keyboard. Determined Lynda prayed, “Lord on this day, that you’ve allowed me to see, impart in me something through my heart to my hands.” At the prayer’s conclusion, God delivered and Determined Lynda received scenes of a clear and cohesive plotline. She, however, had to sit there and put in the time. My directive was: “Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for ye know that your labor is not in vain.” — I Corinthians 15:58
Determined Lynda’s Final Thought for the Moment: If you have a burning desire to accomplish something, devise a plan. Then, put on your thinking cap and working gloves and do something about it. — Lynda has magic to do. Do you?

It’s good to have a connection with someone who understands what that feels like.

Thank you so much. Looks like my baby A Complicated Love Song will be delivered earlier than I anticipated—probably the end of November. Please keep reading my blogs and send the word out to others to do the same thing.
