I know the bible is your baby and from your god thus has to be perfect in every way, but Christian7, your bible, your king james, is not Shakespeare. I don’t know all that much about this subject but from a rather cursory search I’m finding quite a few bibliophiles that think its crap. You might want to rethink that issue.
As for writing, you have exceeded your goal of successful communication as your present missive elucidates, which is my overly stylistic way of saying your last message was written very well. Don’t worry about style. It is not style you really need to develop but your voice. Your natural inner voice.
No, I am not a believer but by way of flowery analogy, Christian7, you need to write from your soul. That takes a lot of years and a lot of practice. You think you know yourself? Not yet. Let that critter out, don’t force a style on him, let him jabber on in twice daily, thrice daily exercises (the one you cite would be beautiful) and soon you will have developed a style all your own.
Unfortunately, like with me, you may not be totally enthralled with the emergent property that develops but at least you’ll know you a lot better. Good luck.
And don’t fret over mental blocks. They are common, necessary, painful. Your muse trifling with your emotions avoids your attentions. But, the more often she hears your voice the more often she comes to whisper in your ear.
