Thank you, you are right. I'm praying a lot, but I'm having the feeling that God not only isn't listening, but is ignoring me more than ever. I try not to think about it, and I ask Him to shut up the voices inside my head, but the truth is that He's not giving me anything I ask for. I try to be a good Christian, but how can I be, if I feel like I'm talking to a wall? It is when the most we should look for Him, isn't it?

Writing has always been my best talent. The problem is that I'm dry of ideas, everything is been done before, so how can I beat those odds, if there's not such a thing as an original story?

Sometimes it feels quiet and like our prayers aren't being answered, but God always hears. And He always has a plan. A good one. And of course everything has been done before, but not with YOUR voice and YOUR spin. Just look at the Hallmark movies. So good. So many. And many of the same tropes. Just with unique spins. Maybe not overthink it and just write without the negative thoughts. And there is always the option of indie publishing too. Hang in there!

Thank you, I'll try
