Krahn, Student Contributor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My name is Priscilla J. Krahn, and I am a published author. What took me from being a wannabe writer to a published author was something none of us like. <strong>Discouragement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like wanting to do something, and being told you won\u2019t ever be able to do it. Especially when the person telling you that you can\u2019t is a big brother who is always right.<\/p>\n<p>When I was eleven years old, I knew I wanted to be an author. I had dozens of notebooks filled with stories, enough ambition to \u2018fill a book\u2019, and about as much experience in the writing world as a goldfish has on land. <strong>I had dreams, but that\u2019s all they were.<\/strong> Dreams. Dreams that would never come true. Dreams that I could work hard for all my life, and never achieve. Once, when I was talking about how I was going to become a published author someday, one of my big brothers looked at me and said, <strong>\u201cCilla, you are never going to become an author.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I straightened my shoulders and glared at him. \u201cOf course I am!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He shook his head, a smirk on his face. \u201cYou won\u2019t. And if you do, I\u2019ll personally help you pay for your first book shipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I grabbed a piece of paper and shoved it towards him. \u201cI want that in writing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He laughed at me, but he wrote it down, and signed it. I locked that paper in Dad\u2019s safe and dreamed of\u00a0 the day when I could bring it out again. <strong>My brother\u2019s doubt and ridicule drove me to try like never before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward a few years, and I was still a dreamer. I still had my notebooks full of ideas, but I had been introduced to the <em>One Year Adventure Novel<\/em>, and felt like I was learning things that would turn me into a published author. I lurked on the OYAN Forum, I wrote as much as I could, and I kept dreaming. Yet despite the improvement in my writing, I was still lacking. <strong>I felt that my first novel had great potential, yet somehow, it seemed like something was missing.<\/strong> It had the drama, the cliffhangers, enough emotional conflict to make readers laugh and cry, but something was still missing.<\/p>\n<p>I became discouraged again. Not because someone was telling me I was failing, but because I knew I was failing. Through this time that God allowed me to be discouraged with my writing\u2014to the point that I wanted to quit altogether\u2014He showed me how unsatisfied I would be with my writing if I kept on how I was going. I was writing exciting, dramatic novels that would entertain, but that wouldn\u2019t impact. I knew that it wasn\u2019t enough. I knew that if I was going to spend the rest of my life writing novels that just\u00a0 entertained, I wasn\u2019t going to be happy. <strong>I had to impact people.<\/strong> That\u2019s when I found out how hard it is to put a message into writing.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it, there are millions of \u2018good\u2019 books out there that you can read, enjoy, and finish without having learned anything. I wanted more than that. I wanted to create characters that people couldn\u2019t come in contact with without being changed. Characters that go through the same struggles that the reader goes through. <strong>Characters that understand what it is to feel like a failure, to feel alone, and discouraged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I fought the discouragement that I was struggling with, I started putting my feelings of discouragement into one of my characters. What happened? <strong>My characters became more real<\/strong>, I faced my struggles, and put my struggles into my characters. When I look back at my first series of books, I see in the characters\u2019 lives the lessons that God was teaching me.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when my writing began to mean something. I can\u2019t tell you how exciting it was to get that first letter from a reader, telling me how <strong>she had been challenged in her life<\/strong> after seeing the characters\u2019 struggles and growing faith.<\/p>\n<p>Six years after I locked that paper in my dad\u2019s safe, my brother helped pay for my first book shipment, and I stamped the paper \u2018Paid in Full,\u2019 and returned it to him.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t feel the accomplishment from being published that I thought I would, but I did feel a deep satisfaction in knowing that I was sharing real life problems and solutions as my characters met Christ and His love throughout the pages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discouragement made me keep writing.<\/strong> Discouragement helped me see the things I needed to change to make my books more impacting. Discouragement is . . . well, it\u2019s discouraging. The question is, what do you do with it? When people tell you that your dreams can\u2019t be accomplished, how do you respond? Do you give up, or do you keep going? Do you allow the discouragement to push you forward, or hold you back? When the wind gets taken out of your sails, do you wait in fatalism and defeat for more wind, or do you get out the paddle and start rowing, through the frustration, sweat, and tears? <strong>What you do with discouragement will define how successful you become as a writer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><em>Have you ever turned a discouragement into a source of motivation for your writing?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2372149 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Priscilla-Sr.-Pictures-winter-015-Copy-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"Priscilla Sr. Pictures winter 015 - Copy\" width=\"165\" height=\"223\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Priscilla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Priscilla J.
