Time to get down to business.

The business of writing that is. I have proposals to finalize and send out.

I can do this.

Check out a short story I wrote about time at Fliterary

Enjoy and write!!

Next week is here!

The ACFW conference begins Thursday morning. Can't wait.

This year I'll be driving with my friend and fellow wordsmith, Betty Woods. So looking forward to the adventure the Lord has set before us.

I am thankful for all the prayers of those lifting up this conference. Thankful that American Christian Fiction Writers organization exists. Dedicated to helping those called to write stories that will prick, convict, lift up, console, and change hearts.

I am leaving tomorrow. Have I packed yet - no. But I am thinking about it. : )

Will check in and let you know how the conference is going. I am sure my brain will be filled with useful ways in which to write better.

When I get back, look out world. I intend to write like the wind and finish books started. And who knows how many stories will attack me and beg to be written.

See you in St. Louis.

ACFW Conference Next Week!

YES! My pup, JACS, perked his ears at my exclamation. Yes, I exclaimed. Am I ready?

I thought so last week : )

ACFW - American Christian Fiction Writers - a wonderful organization of Christian writers dedicated to the excellence of writing and helping one another.

Well, off to work on those One Sheets, first chapters, and getting my mind focused on the Lord.

Words

Words! As writers that's our business. As Christians, we must weigh our words carefully.

Proverbs 15:23
A man has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!

Proverbs 25:11
Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances.

Matthew 12:36
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

With a word, we can tear down or build up. Speak and write, death or life. We must choose our words wisely.

As writers, especially on the Internet, we must remember that these black and white thoughts will go on. They will not be deleted or erased by time.

Make a choice to write words that lead people to life.

Getting it together

Yikes! The ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) Conference is only a few weeks away. Am I ready? Well I am getting there. I have my one sheets almost ready to print. My books, I have three finished, are nearing their final edits.

I am excited. I see opportunity on the horizon. And it's there if you want to go after it.

Write! Diligently and then write some more.

Just a quick note and update.

My website is under construction.
