Writer Girl 42 days of exercises to deepen your faith in your ability and your purpose for writing Christian Writer Devotional Writing Journal Writing is something that I have been drawn to since I was a little girl. I can still remember the first time I received a diary with a little gold key. The book was covered in flowers and my heart was imagining all the stories I would hide inside. Trouble is every time I sat down to write, nothing came to mind. I would just sit there listing things like what I ate that day or little bullet points about what I wore or how excited I was to begin writing but not knowing what to write about. I look back now and think about all the things I could have written about but the memories now are long faded. No one in my immediate family wrote on a regular basis so there was no coach to guide me on how to move things along. Those memories moved me to create this book. I hope that a glimpse into my writing life might help you to begin your practice and deepen it to the point where you find your purpose for writing. I will share the starts and stops which are a natural progression of writing, especially if you have small children at home, a draining 9-5 job, are a single mom or a military spouse or just plain over committed in some form. I have been in each of these positions so I understand that each season brings plenty of obstacles that hinder the desire to grow creatively. I can say without a doubt you will experience a beautiful deepening in your creative life and in your relationship with God as you begin to set aside as little as 15 minutes a day to write or to create in whatever medium you choose. I encourage you to expand your idea of what a writing life looks like and to see ways in which you are creative in all areas of your life. I promise that this awareness will cause you to live life more fully. Testimonials: Not since Liz Lamoreux's book Inner Excavation have I experienced a book so deeply as Writer Girl. It is always easy to write to please other people but to write simply for ourselves takes a journey of honesty that many are reluctant to pursue. Robin extends an invitation to us to take that journey in such an unassuming yet encouraging manner. I highly recommend Robin's book to everyone as we all have a gift to write, we just have to write with our heart as Robin encourages us to do...and write for ourselves...as you will be surprised at what you learn. - dbeverlyhills What a wonderful experience it was working my way through Robins book. Her writing is extremely beautiful and authentic. I found myself on several occasions saying the words "YES" and " AMEN" out loud as I read. The Priming the pump exercises at the end of each chapter were so thought provoking and deep. They really forced me to take a look at what was really holding me back in my writing vs all the excuses I had made in my head. This book was an absolute oasis for me at the end of each day. As well as a refreshing way to start my mornings. I will definitely be talking about and reading this book to my friends who are needing a creative jump start. -Lauren Robin's book opened my eyes and my heart to the wisdom within to write everyday, from a place of deep knowing within. I began writing on my blog everyday and also started maintaining a book/journal because I started to delve deep into my life and what was underneath all of it. The book, the gentle prompts, quotes and guidance on writing became somewhat of a therapy for me. I began to tap in to the wisdom within. I have also found my writing voice and this book has helped me welcome opportunities in my business and writing in a way that I never expected. Thank you Robin for this amazing book -Aarathi
