I came to a rather humorous realization yesterday-- I'm trying to sound like a man! Not only a man- a 50's, white male pastor. I'm laughing right now as I write this. The reason being that every valid piece of Christian non-fiction I've ever read have all been written by-- you guessed it!---50-year old white male pastors such as John Ortberg, Maxwell, etc. Believe it or not, I do not fall into this category.
Part of me feels silly for trying to write such a profound piece of text as a young woman. Part of me wonders if the publishing community would even take me seriously- when and if I get to a place that I can submit this piece. This is why I have decided to write under the pen name Donald White and my picture will look like this:
Perhaps I will then, be taken seriously. :)
what i said is that you should blog as Bree the beautiful young woman that you are ...get rid of the stereotype of a middle aged white man being the only valid source for Christian views ;) auntie Jan
ReplyDeleteaw thanks, Jan! Yes, it's funny though how reading in a certain tone affects your tone when you write. It's usually a good thing, but in this case, it was just funny! haha And hey-- you blog commented!
