It’s (I’m) a Work in Progress

October 6, 2023 by Valerie M. Bodden

If you could eavesdrop on a conversation between a group of writers, you might hear them say things like, “How’s the new WIP coming along?” “My WIP refuses to cooperate.” “I’m almost done with my WIP.” And you might think they’ve lost their marbles (totally possible) or that they have their own language (also true).

Bad Girls in CCR

January 12, 2022 by Jaycee Weaver

There’s a lot of talk about bad boys in romance, even in Christian romance. Women love to read about bad boys and rebels, especially ones that turn good. But what about bad girls? From a Christian fiction author’s standpoint, bad girls are both tricky and a joy to write for many of the same reasons. […]

Decisions, Decisions & #Giveaway

May 1, 2021 by Valerie M. Bodden

Confession time: I don’t like to make decisions. Never have. Probably never will. If I were writing myself as a character in a story, I’d try to figure out why I have such a hard time with decisions. What event from my past made me this way? As far as I can remember, there wasn’t […]

Giving Away Grace

October 25, 2019 by Heather Gray

I was working on a webinar recently, and while the webinar isn’t specifically about giveaways, the subject does come up. Authors sometimes think of a giveaway as an opportunity to sell copies of their books. In reality, though, giveaways rarely result in sales. They generate name recognition, and depending on how it’s set up, a […]

Never Too Far Gone

July 8, 2019 by Julie Arduini

Happy July! How is your summer going so far? I hope great. Although this isn’t my favorite season, I do enjoy the relaxed schedule for a bit. I had a sweet surprise that turned out to be a little devotional thought that also applied to my writing. I thought I’d share. Outside our side garage […]

Ten Things I’ve Learned From Being a Writer (Part 1) and a #Giveaway

April 13, 2017 by Heather Gray

Sometimes I have trouble coming up with blogging ideas. It’s easy when I have a book coming out, but even that wears a little thin after a while. (Last month I told you about my upcoming April release…so it doesn’t seem fair that I talk about that release again in April, now does it? You […]

Have You Ever Been Bombarded?

January 19, 2016 by Ginger Solomon

Several of us have written about our Word of the Year. I shared last month about my word for 2016, which is consistent. BUT for the last two-ish weeks, the word GRACE has bombarded me from lots of different directions. It started with me doing a word study on it. The Greek word (charis) appears […]

He Makes Everything Beautiful

April 3, 2014 by Lisa Jordan

After my dad’s death last July, I helped my stepfamily clean out my dad’s workshop.  While cleaning out the upstairs, I came across the perfect sized table to put next to my writing chair—square with a drawer and a small shelf to hold my Bible and writing books. The top of the table had water […]
