Joyfully Working with Write His Answer

Posted on by

It’s that time of year. The time when many activities are ending for the summer with special activities. And, for me, multiple writing activities.

I spent last Friday and Saturday at the Write In The Springs conference hosted by the Colorado Springs American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) group. It was held at Glen Eyrie. I came home excited about what I wanted to do to improve the book I am working on.

I am on staff for the Write His Answer Conference on May 11-14.

I also lead a Write His Answer Bible Study every week. Members of this study are asking questions about the conference, and this week I’m answering some of these questions.

“I’m just a beginner and don’t even have a book written. Why should I attend?”

There is a lot more involved in writing a book than most people, especially beginners, know. This conference has dozens of instructors ready to share their knowledge and love of writing — regardless of your writing level.

“I’m an experienced and published author. Why should I attend?”

If you are experienced, you know we have to keep learning to stay on top of the publishing world.

“I don’t want to attend a virtual conference and just watch people talking. I like the personal contact and interaction at in-person conferences.”

Liz is one of my favorite authors. I’m looking forward to hearing what she has to say.
Glen Eyrie is where I attended the Write in the Springs Conference. It’s a wonderful place to rest and write.
I’ve heard Tim speak many times. He has not only great information but lots of surprises.

I agree. Nothing can beat the hugs of being able to sit and talk to the faculty and new and old friends. There are a lot of reasons this conference had to be virtual, but it will not be people just standing and talking. All the classes will be live and interactive.

“I want to come to the conference, but I can’t get off work.”

We can help with that. If you registered for the conference, you will have access to the recordings for three months. You will miss some of the interaction, but you will be able to get the information.

I’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible as I watch the screens and see you.

My Writing and Conferences

Posted on by

The Colorado Christian Writers Conference (CCWC) is coming in just a few weeks on May 11-14. That seems to be a lot of time when I look at the calendar, but I know it will be here sooner than I expect.

Plus – There is exciting news about changes in the plan for the conference.

First, CCWC and its fellow conference – Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference (GPCWC) – are joining up and will both be virtually held in May. We get two conferences for the price of one.

Second, the early bird pricing did not end on March 15th as planned. It has been extended until April 1st (no fooling around with this).

And third, for me, my granddaughter will be attending with me. She will attend the Teen’s Write program.

Come and join us at the Write His Answer conference. There is a lot more information about the conference. I’m just talking about a very small portion of the fun stuff. More information can be found at https://colorado.writehisanswer.com/

Writing for the Lord in this season blesses more people than you might imagine it does. Have you heard Him calling you to write?
I decided to add this photo because it brings to my mind one of my favorite conferences in Estes Park, Colorado. May of 2019. The YMCA of the Rockies staff was very kind and helpful as we dealt with the weather. But the snow was gone before the conference ended, so everyone got home safely. Many conferees, including me, hope we will be back on the mountain for the 2023 conference.
