have no fear
Somehow, I need Jesus to help me out of some bitterness. Nearly every night, I need to surrender and lay myself down. Once, twice, seven times. I'm ever in progress, would never make it outside of grace -- if there were anything else by which we could "make it." There's not.
I think my writing has become choppier since I've been writing poetry. I hope I can still write a thick, lengthy sentence. I'm sorry; I don't know where these fears come from. They're certainly not from Jesus and I need to stop dwelling on them.
"Have no fear... We draw near... Son of Man... Son of God... We draw near."

Ah, bitterness. Too familiar with that myself.
Your writing never appeared to be choppy to me?? I tend to write wicked, run-on, way too long, and got-more-than-two-or-three-things-going-on-at-the-same-time sentenses...

my writing seemed choppy to me, too, after i started writing poetry. i think because i heard line breaks everywhere--distracting, but also wonderful in a way. i heard new things about language, words, how they work. i discovered that i was beginning to concern myself with sound in my prose. so anyway, there's some good to choppy writing. (though i'm like megumi--i'm wondering if your writing really is choppy. to me, it's poetic).
i get fearful all the time about writing. i think it's the only thing i can do well and i fear it being taken from me. for me, i'm trying to think about how to serve Jesus through writing. a perplexing question, but such a good one.
