“You’ve been writing that book a long time.”
To me, I hear accusation in those words, but also truth. Margaret Mitchell took ten years to write “Gone with the Wind.” I’m sure, during the decade of writing, someone said those words to her, not criticizing, but making an observation.
How many times do we take things the wrong way because of the perspective we view things from in our mind. As a sensitive writer, when someone says, “You’ve been writing that book for a long time,” sounds offensive. But in reality, its just a statement, not a judgement.
Lord help me discern the difference between observation and judgment.
