I am an avid reader but I am on such a tight work schedule that I am unable to even read a couple of pages a night before I fall asleep! That’s why I have not been able to read much except what could be found on the internet that I could read while take a little time off work.
Today, I was introduced to a blog by Jenn Scott, an aspiring writer who publishes her own Weekly Shorts in a blog. Jenn will publish a story every week and plans to compile them all and publish a book in the near future. Meanwhile, Jenn encourages her readers to leave comments and suggestions by proposing a name, a gender and a genre so that she can base her story on these.
I took the opportunity to read a story by Jenn called Dear God that was written in 2005 and entered into a writing competition. This is a story in a letter form, a letter written by an elderly to God.
I find the story full of emotions and “real”. I believe that this is a story that many of us can relate to because many a time, I am sure we have questioned God’s ways. Why would God do something that hurts us if He loves us? Why would He throw so many challenges to us to try to overcome, where we sometimes fail? Is this the way to strengthen our faith in Him and religion? I am stumped too.
Jenn mentioned that this story is a little long but I find that the length is not a problem as it is so easy to read and has a smooth flow hence it did not take me long to reach the end.
One thing I would like to point out is that, since this was a competition post, Jenn should double check her spelling.
