My Writing and Conferences

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.

Finding My Way

The last two weeks have been difficult thanks to Covid. Last week I had so much brain fog, I was not able to put together a full, understandable sentence.

This came at a time when I felt I was making progress against three years of deepening depression due to being one of the caretakers for my mom. During this illness, I feel I’ve taken several steps backward.

So what do I do to get fully on track with my writing the things I feel God is calling me to write.

There is a whole list of things I can and will do to regain my physical, mental, and spiritual health. I want to share one major step I’m taking with my fellow writers.

This Tuesday, I’ll start leading a Bible Study based on the book “Write His Answer,” written by my friend, Marlene Bagnull.

I’ve gone through this study twice and each time I’ve grown in my faith and in my writing ability.

Now I’m studying this book again, actually leading this study for others. In my experience, teaching is one of the best ways to learn.

So I invite anyone who feels drawn to reaffirm their calling to write to join me in this study. If enough people are interested, I will create an online study. Let me know.

If you’d like to follow the study up with a writers conference to continue the teaching, I urge you to consider Colorado Christian Writers Conference and the Greater Philly Writers Conference. Check them out at https://writehisanswer.com/conferences.

You can also purchase the Write His Answer Bible Study at the same website.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all next Friday when I get back into my regular blog routine.
