Amanda, I so thoroughly enjoyed your article this morning that I read it to my wife and we laughed together. I told her "I have met the most amazing writer (and singer) online" and just had to share it.
You may have thought you had nothing to say today, but your way of saying nothing is nothing short of brilliant!
I asked you a while back if your vocals are sanitized with auto-tune - no human being can hit notes as purely as you do - and you humbly explained your natural perfect pitch and vocal training. Now I have another question: do you (like me) edit obsessively to get your writing product in its final perfect state? Or do you just have natural perfect pitch for writing as well?
My favorite snip of your "drab day": I lived in Utah for some years and traveled quite a bit. There is often a natural inversion layer over Salt Lake City leaving a gray bank of clouds over the valley. You reminded me of the little endorphin rush I enjoyed many times as my plane would break through that drab layer of clouds into God's brilliant sunshine. Thanks for the memory and the lesson.
Well, I’m awfully glad you enjoyed it. 😂 When I write something, I write a rough draft first then I usually leave it at that for a day or two. Then I go read it again and rewrite a section here and there. I usually edit the whole thing once more before I schedule it to publish.
Most folks would say, "Com'on, Amanda, be more positive." Most folks have never read Amy Carmichael's "Things as They Are." Increasingly, most folks turn to the pharmacist for the answer. Your solutions remind me of another favorite author, Elizabeth Elliot.
What a cool post! Such great thoughts, don’t try to eat the whole elephant, just do specific things that have closure and move the drab day into a joyful day in the Lord!

Well, that’s very high praise. Thank you. 😊

Hey, if I were rich, I’d hire you to summarize my writing! 😊 That’s pretty much it in a nutshell.
