Celebrating a Wonderful Day

Posted on by

It is the fourth Friday of the month, and I’m still focused on my writing. Today is a wonderful celebration of my writing.

For the first time since I took time away from my normal routine to be one of the caregivers for my mother around 3 years ago.

I tried to keep writing, but it became harder and harder. All the emotions of those years caused my writing and creativity became less and less. There were times I thought I would never write again.

My mother went to be with the Lord on the 4th of July. Since that time I’ve fought to bring back my writing.

This morning that all changed. I woke this morning with words and sentences in my head. I got up, sat at the computer, and typed in 685 words. The words flowed easily.

I’m celebrating the feeling of being a real writer again. I’m heading to the Write His Answer Conference feeling like I really belong as a writer.

I’d love to have you join me at the conference. You can find the information by clicking here.

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.

Let’s Study

Posted on by

Last week in this blog, I mentioned I’m leading a Bible Study called “Write His Answer.”

I also mentioned I’m thinking about expanding that study to Zoom as well the in-person students. I do have the study formatted so a person can jump in at any point in the study

So, I’d like you to help me. Should I add Zoom members to the present study members?

Finding My Way

Posted on by

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.
