So Many Choices, Too Many Voices

I felt a sense of relief when I saw the “W” meaning “withdraw" next to the technical  writing class on my student schedule.  I had wrestled with this decision for a few weeks after I realized technical writing was not for me. I wanted it to be for me. I had plans. When I first started school a year and a half ago, every quarter I tried to get into that class and finally this quarter I did. I dreamed of how I would soon learn to be a technical writer, bid for work, and then have a flourishing career. I didn’t even get out of the gate before I knew…it wasn’t for me. I am not wired that way. I am wired to write a completely different way. I often wonder where on earth writing is going to take me?…I know I have to plug along and do my best at what I am wired to do. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” I know I can do good things with this craft of writing. Good things.
