Oct 30

It’s been a few days since the Glorieta Christian Writers’ Conference ended. What a ride! Thirteen hours each day were filled with workshops, worship, appointments with authors, editors, and agents, and meeting new friends. All faculty walked in a refreshing servant-leader attitude. It was worth every minute and penny just to watch God orchestrate amazing things.

Summarizing here what I learned would take too long to write or read. Suffice it to say that I learned a lot. Now I need to write a lot. That’s the bottom line.

The authors I met were especially encouraging. They liked my writing, which helped my confidence. They also offered invaluable suggestions. Other potential opportunities came about which I wasn’t expecting. I’ll tell you more as time goes on.

Pictures of new friends…

The one of just the two of us is with Rosslyn Elliott, a fun, talented friend. The other group shot is with members of the Southwest Christian Writers Association –precious people! (L-R) Connie Peters, Kimberlae Houk, Barb Lukow, me, and Annette Hutchins.

    Hey!

    I love the new blog design. I agree with you about the imperative to actually sit down and write. Now that Halloween is over, I should have a breather before the holiday rush sets in. And I’m going to try to resist the holiday rush a little bit this year.

    Christ, Barb, Rosslyn, Sarah, and Roger…
    Thanks so much (and thanks to your son, Roger!). It’s encouraging to see this feedback. We’re still working out bugs, but I’m excited to have a new format. Hope you keep coming back!
