If You Give Your Best Friend a Wedding Toast – emily grace lund

If You Give Your Best Friend a Wedding Toast. October 28, 2016. I remember the afternoon my mom came out to the front yard, where I was reading in the sunshine, and told me I was going to be your maid of honor. This was years ago she’d been on the phone with. Mom, whom she’d been friends with for years and years, and for some motherly reason they’d started talking about how neat a friendship we had. You’re going to be her maid of honor someday, my mom told me. She’s talked about that. Yes, right, that wh...

September 2015 – emily grace lund
https://elund12.wordpress.com/2015/09
Dear Heavenly Father,. September 26, 2015. September 26, 2015. I have a question for you. But first, let me explain a bit.). To me, your voice has always been a man’s voice deep, rich, gentle. Maybe it’s not as gentle when I’m reading certain parts of the Old Testament (actually, much of the Old Testament). I’ve always called you Father. Father, thank you for this day. Dear Father, please watch over us. Does that sound odd to you? After all, you’re a he, a him, a his all over the Bible. You’re good at di...

Silver Lining Syndrome – emily grace lund
https://elund12.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/silver-lining-syndrome
January 8, 2017. I have silver lining syndrome. That saying about every cloud having a silver lining is so trite and saccharine I’m fairly sure no one says it anymore. Yet, somehow, it’s the way I’ve conducted myself for about as long as I can remember. Give me a situation, and I’ll find some way to draw one of those glittery outlines around it. God’s just testing my patience! Who knows what I might have been rescued from! Maybe it would have crashed! Friend’s having a rough time? I’ve stolen back a bit ...

Sitting Still – emily grace lund
https://elund12.wordpress.com/2016/07/26/sitting-still
July 26, 2016. Sitting still isn’t the most attractive of options. After all, where’s the adventure in saying, I think I’ll just stay here? I’m sitting and typing this in a Chicago suburb, having finished up another day of proofreading and writing and talking over article ideas. It’s the kind of job I hoped for during all those late-night library sessions in college. Actually getting it seemed too good to be true. One friend told me I’d won English major. Because there’s something else, right? Black sky ...

Exploring the World of Writing 200. Monthly Archives: January 2013. January 31, 2013. My Idea of Writing Success Stinks: Or, Why I’m a Hypocrite. Here’s the cover of my first book, for which I will no doubt receive $10 (or less! In royalties this yaer. What I want to believe about success in writing is that finishing a text and calling it good can be a triumph. I want to believe that if something I write influences just one person, challenging that person to see life in a different way or to live. My big...

https://elund12.wordpress.com/2016/01
January 20, 2016. January 20, 2016. My first peek at my new–cold–state of Illinois. The cold was supposed to be the hardest part. Sure, moving to a new state and starting a new job would be difficult. Someone would ask me about post-graduation plans, and I would tell them I was moving to the Chicago area in January. And the response? A laugh, followed by: Chicago? Do you have a coat? I did Two, actually the big, puffy, Michelin Man-esque ones.). But other things have been harder. I just want to know what...

Exploring the World of Writing 200. April 4, 2013. It’s All About Tradition: Love Day and Book Publishing. Whether Love Day itself will remain a tradition is still a mystery, after all. I guess I can find solace in this: even if bookstores fade away, we will still have candy. That’s something, at least in my family. March 20, 2013. Technology and (this) Writer’s Angst-Ridden Soul. This week, I reluctantly joined Twitter. In the same day. Already I hate it: just one more way to feel rejection (What? This ...

Exploring the World of Writing 200. January 31, 2013. My Idea of Writing Success Stinks: Or, Why I’m a Hypocrite. Here’s the cover of my first book, for which I will no doubt receive $10 (or less! In royalties this yaer. Here’s the honest-to-God truth: in a word (or two), my understanding of success in writing is messed up. I know I shouldn’t admit this, because what I say about success in writing and what I actually deep in my heart believe are two different things entirely. My biggest cheerleader is pr...
