Our time is important. During the past three years I’ve blogged about the subject on several occasions. In one of my favorite posts, I tackled this elephant head on. If you’re a writer, a creative, or someone struggling with time management issues, please don’t miss this post. You may identify. I’m not sure why, but time is a hot button …
I’m a people-watcher. As part of my creative process, I study folks at the coffee shop, the grocery store, and the mall. Really, wherever I go my radar’s on high alert. I never know what I might see (or hear). I once saw a man blowing bubbles at a stop light. Not from bubble gum, but from a little red …
In Monday’s post I talked about the writing journey and things I wish I’d known sooner. As a follow-up post, today I wanted to share some reasons why we shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. An e-mail arrived in my inbox shortly after my original post went live on the ACFW website last October. A fellow creative lamented: You say not …
Dreams are the pieces of our soul, I think, that reflect our deepest yearnings. Sometimes, we speak words of affirmation to those yearnings and give wing to our secret desires. Other times, we ferret away vestiges of hope for fear of what folks may think. I’ll use writing as an example. As a little girl, I knew I wanted to …
Today I’ve invited the lovely Sarah Loudin Thomas to join us here while I’m guest-posting at Married with Fiction. (I hope you’ll stop by as I share my wedding story!) I first “met” Sarah online when I started to blog in 2011. She’s a charming, talented writer, and we’re agency-mates. I was finally able to visit with Sarah in person …
If you’ve visited my cyber home for very long, you know many of my posts center around love and encouragement. Why? Well–I’m glad you asked. Love and encouragement are near and dear to my heart for a couple of reasons. We live with enough negativity in this old world. Folks are starved for joy. I’ve experienced adversity. Perhaps, you have, too. That’s why you need some good, old-fashioned …
I love to read! (Of course, I would. I’m a writer. Makes good sense.) And since I write contemporary Christian romance, that’s one of my favorite subgenres to read within the Christian fiction market. I like the “tone” and the spiritual message woven throughout these stories. I also like the sigh factor. The one that happens after a couple survives life’s hurdles, …
Fall is hands-down one of my favorite times of year! I adore the feast of color, and later, the scent of burning leaves. I’m also crazy about the mums, the gourds, and the pumpkins! (If you’d like to know more, you can check out My 20 Favorite Things about Fall post.) Now, onto the meat of this post. Fall means change, but …
This was the third year I attended the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference. I think every year outdoes the last. (Check out Wednesday’s post where I shared highlights and photos of the 2013 ACFW conference in Indianapolis.) Other than the long drive from my neck of the woods to the great state of Indiana (and the exhausted state my …
Happy Friday, everyone! Hope this finds you well and looking forward to the weekend! (Help yourself to a slice of that decadent chocolate cake above–yummm!) I thought it might be fun today to do an end of the week wrap-up. In other words–let’s chit chat about what’s going on in each other’s lives. Pull up a chair, grab your plate, and …
