The time is now

So, time to move on and stop making excuses. I want to be a writer.
I am one, but for someone else. I have been writing for a newspaper for 9 years now. Writer, reporter, photographer, editor. Need it done? I'm your gal.
Two things cause me to begin this:
1) My friend, Cherie (a published author of real books) told me I must write everyday. Period.
2) My friend, Ben told me to start a blog and get on with it.
So, here I am. I have started.
I write a religion column weekly for the Pine Bluffs Post, where I currently work. Love it! Best job I have had yet.
I want to write for myself; but more than that, for God. I want what comes from my head, to originate from my heart. And that needs to come from God. Period.
A friend told me she had a story to write once but kind of blew it off, using all the usual excuses — got kids, got husband, don't got time (reality — didn't make the time). She told me when she wanted to go back to it God told her no, the time for that blessing had already passed, at least for now. He had other things for her to work on.
I do not want my time to pass. I want to redeem the time I have wasted and make the most of what I have left.
So, the time is now. I have begun. I will continue.
Hope you like it. But more, I hope God does.
