[QUOTE="OnceLostButNowFound, post: 77512623, member: 452939"] Through Christ you are saved. Not by your works. You won't go to Hell because of writing a story you happen to enjoy. I can only give you my opinion because I don't know you personally, but doubt and anxiety is pretty normal for us writers. Especially when it comes to wanting to please the Lord through our writing. When I read you talking about how God told you "Me or the book", I can only assume that meant one or two things: 1. Your anxiety from that evening creating doubt. 2. Your putting this book over your relationship with God. That doesn't necessarily mean God doesn't want you to write the story, it's may simply mean he doesn't want you to treat it as if it were Him. Idolatry, basically. Don't beat yourself up too much over it, this is something I and I imagine many writers are guilty of. I know full well what it means to fall in love with your work. I've been writing a story the past year now and I absolutely adore it. But you also got to remember that it's a gift from the Lord. All good things come from Him. If you aren't enjoying what you're writing, then that's probably not what God wants you to write. I hope this helps. God bless you. [/QUOTE]
