The Writer's Prayer  The Writer's Prayer Open my mind, Lord. Grant me the talent to write with clarity and style, so my words go down rich and smooth, like fine wine, and leave my reader thirsty for more. Open my heart, Lord. Grant me the sensitivity to understand my characters--their hopes, their wants, their dreams--and help me to confer that empathy to my reader. Open my soul, Lord, so I may be a channel to wisdom and creativity from beyond my Self. Stoke my imagination with vivid imagery and vibrant perception. But most of all, Lord, help me to know the Truth, so my fiction is more honest than actuality and reaches the depths of my reader's soul. Wrap these gifts with opportunity, perseverance, and the strength to resist those who insist it can't be done. Amen. -- Sandy Tritt (c)copyright 1999, Sandy Tritt. All rights reserved.
