Should I continue this story I forgot I wrote?

I wrote this in January 2024 and I literally do not remember writing this at all

2025/4/18 Edited to

... Read moreFor many writers, the struggle of recalling stories they've penned can lead to moments of doubt. It's common to forget narratives while juggling various projects. Yet, returning to a forgotten story often unveils hidden gems in creativity. Consider the potential in re-examining your original idea. What motivated you to write it? What themes were you exploring? It may help to brainstorm or outline new elements that can tie back to the initial plot, thus breathing fresh life into the narrative. Connect with fellow writers who have faced similar challenges. Sharing experiences can galvanize your resolve to continue your journey through their collective wisdom. Additionally, think about the characters you’ve created. Their journeys can resonate with readers' feelings and experiences, prompting new directions for your plot. Cultivating a routine to revisit this forgotten piece regularly can build familiarity and excitement, leading to richer storytelling. Remember, every story deserves a chance for revival.

Books that scared the authors who wrote them
😱 These scary books didn’t just scare readers—they haunted the people who wrote them. From Stephen King to Thomas Harris, these authors were actually scared by their own thriller and horror novels. 📌 Save this list for your next jittery midnight read. #booktok #booksoflemon8 #darkbooks #

The Prayer I Needed… So I Wrote It.
I was in a moment where I didn’t know what to do next with my career… so I did the only thing I knew: I prayed. Not someone else’s words — mine. I wrote this prayer straight from the heart, and it gave me peace I didn’t know I needed. Going to continue to pray this until I get the clarity I need.

A graphic titled 'Not Every Situation is a Ruth & Boaz Situation or Ending' features a woman in pink, roses, and hearts. It contrasts biblical stories like Ruth & Boaz, David & Bathsheba, Orpah, and Esther, emphasizing that not all endings are romantic. It advises trusting God's plan, walking in purpose, and not comparing one's story to others.
Stop Forcing Ruth & Boaz Endings—Every Story Isn’t Redemption Through Romance
We have to be honest with ourselves… and in IAMRUTH MINISTRIES, we speak honest, raw, unfiltered truth—not fantasy, not fairytales, and not illusions. 💔✨ Everybody wants a Ruth & Boaz ending… but not every situation is meant to turn into one. We’ve started romanticizing every ending as

The Song I Wrote After We Forgot How to Listen
“The Tower and the Wall” was written in November of 2016, immediately after Trump’s first election victory. Oddly enough, despite how dense and layered the lyrics are, it was one of the fastest songs I’ve ever written. Most of my work feels crafted line by line — this one felt delivered. I wasn’t c

I wrote my way through grief
I didn’t write to move on. I wrote because I didn’t know how else to hold what I was feeling. Grief showed up in waves — sometimes soft, sometimes flooring. And my journal became the only place I didn’t have to pretend I was okay. I could rage. I could whisper. I could ask the questions that
