Picnik

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you've heard, but Picnik is closing on April 19th! For those of you who don't know what it is, it's an online site where you can edit pictures. I like to use it to edit not my photography, but just random picture I find. I'm sad it's going to close, but the good news is, everyone has free access to Picnik's premium features until it closes! Hurray! Below are some edits I made using this site. The first one is the original, and the following one is my edit. And please don't steal them! :)

Writing

I love to write. It's my passion. But I'm starting to realize how hard writing can be. Writing posts isn't too difficult. It's when I start writing for contests, and I know my writing has to be the absolute best it can be to win.

The part I am having trouble with is editing and critiquing. It's not fun. I like my writing, but when I see all the things I have to do to make it better, it completely exhausts me.

When I take a break, and think about it all, editing is a part of writing. I love to write, and I'm not just going to stop when I get fed up or frustrated with my writing. Even though editing isn't something I like to do, I know it'll make my writing better, and maybe worthy of first place for that contest. So I'm going to write, and edit, and love it all.

Editing is like obstacles in life. If you stop at every one saying 'I can't do this' then you'll never finish the race. I'm trying to not be like that. I can overcome any obstacle that comes my way because I have God. He'll help me shape and edit my writing, and make it something beautiful, just like me.
