Your political differences aren't the issue. Your calling to be a Christian writer is the all consuming issue.
Humans crave information. Humans will become anxious and in some cases depressed if they don't have access to "answers" or explanations about their fears.
This country is in turmoil. Millions of people are frightened and frustrated. They need information. They need to hear from you.
The English statesman Robert Bulwer-Lytton said, "The pen is mightier than the sword".
But what about these other quotes?
The pen is the tongue of the mind. Horace
The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness. Julia Ward Howe
There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write. William Makepeace Thackeray
In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write. Pearl S. Buck
Whether or not you agree with the writings of these people is not the issue. The fact that they are writing should be as important to you as your faith.
People need information. If God has given you a talent you must use it. It is your duty and should be your passion to join the ranks of others that are writing. If you are new and not sure about the publishing industry - start a blog. Get involved. We must share the good news and promote the strength of America and her freedoms. Don't sit on the sidelines and watch the news - get involved and WRITE!
Will it be hard? You bet it will. I'm on a deadline for two books. I have three blogs that I've committed to presenting 90% original material. I don't just search the net and comment - I actually write content. I have another blog that I contribute to. It's hard to feel like I have enough time in the day to sit down with my family much less get outdoors.
Your commitment doesn't need to be that involved - but you must commit to some time. If you don't set aside time to write and actually produce copy that can be shared - you will never reach your goals.
The sad side to letting time get away from you, is that the people around you will be struggling without the insight you could provide. I will pray for you and for all Americans, but in the meantime - write!
God loves you and has called you to write,
Debbie
