Lee Ann Rubsam Hi Maria,

Are you referring the Goodreads group "Intercession & Prophetic Questions and Answers" https://www.goodreads.com/group/14660... ?

It seemed like interest for it waned, so nothing has been done with it for a couple of years, but it is still open, and questions / comments will be responded to, if you would like to use it. You may also connect with me via the links I shared with you in response to your private message.

Blessings,
Lee Ann
Lee Ann Rubsam Emma and Mr. Knightley, in Jane Austen's "Emma." Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Elton are an interesting pair, too!
Lee Ann Rubsam I come from a Christian perspective, and it is to Christian writers I would like to speak:

Whether you are writing fiction or nonfiction, write for the glory of God. Ask Him to give you the ideas, and never write anything that is compromising or tarnishing to your testimony of your relationship with Jesus.

Keep honing your writing skills through practice, and research how to put together the best possible book.

And don't try to be like someone else. God has given you something to say from a unique perspective, which He can use to bless many people.
Lee Ann Rubsam I know many writers advise to just press through it and write anyway. However, I find that writer's block is often my cue to go back to prayer and let the Lord refresh and re-inspire me. I want to receive and release His counsel.

Sometimes the block is there because there is something more He wants to teach me before I am ready to share any thoughts on that particular subject. That could take hours, days, or even months, in rare cases, to work through. If I patiently wait it out, when I do get the urge to move forward again, what I have to say will be much more useful for my readers than if I had pressed forward on my own.
Lee Ann Rubsam Lots of irons in the fire right now -- I'm finishing up recording the audio book version of The Intercessor's Companion, and will move on to recording Before Whom We Stand in a few weeks. I've also got a good start on a new book, Your Intercession Questions Answered.
Lee Ann Rubsam I enjoy interacting with people who have read my books and articles. It's very satisfying when they communicate that something I have written has resonated with them in some way. I love encouraging others!
Lee Ann Rubsam Most of my writing inspiration comes during times of prayer. The Lord may give me direct instruction to write a specific book or article, or the ideas might just start flowing easily and rapidly. I then grab my pen and paper and scribble out what I'm receiving as fast and in as much detail as possible.
