The
Writing Life
The
Writer's Prayer
By
Sandy Tritt
Open my mind,
Lord. Grant me the talent to write with clarity and style, so my words
go down rich and smooth, like fine wine, and leave my reader thirsty
for more.
Open my heart,
Lord. Grant me the sensitivity to understand my characters—their
hopes, their wants, their dreams—and help me to
confer that empathy to
my reader.
Open my soul,
Lord, so I may be a channel to wisdom and creativity from beyond my
Self. Stoke my imagination with vivid imagery and vibrant perception.
But most of all,
Lord, help me to know the Truth, so my fiction is more honest than
actuality and reaches the depths of my reader's soul.
Wrap these gifts
with opportunity, perseverance, and the strength to resist those who
insist it can't be done.
Amen. ~ Sandy
