I'm embarking on a new adventure. God willing, I'll never be the same. And you're invited. What is it? Well, the good news is this adventure doesn't involve death-defying acts or a big budget. The bad news is I have no idea how this is going to work. But that's what makes it an adventure, right? … Continue reading There’s More: a new series
The Jonah Within
There are few Bible personalities I really connect with. You know: Ruth was so good, and Esther was fearless and beautiful, and Mary was amazing. Paul is hard for me to get my head around, and the disciples, well, they were interesting and funny, but relatable? Well, maybe not so much. But start talking about Jonah, and … Continue reading The Jonah Within

A lot of things were happening at once for me, and I had to let some aspects of writing go in order to keep my focus … Continue reading The Empty Inkwell: Changing and Returning Soon
The Writer as an Editor
Love it or hate it, editing is an important part of every writer's role. If you're like me, 75% of time spent on a manuscript will be refining, be it through rewrites, edits, proofreading, or tweaking after feedback. Today at When Readers Write, I'm blogging about The Writer as an Editor. In my post, I share … Continue reading The Writer as an Editor
