The ACFW Conference

Some of us received offers from agents and editors to look at our work. Many others simply enjoyed the fellowship with Christian writers – people who think like we do. Others may have … Continue reading
Connie’s ACFW Experience
Two days after my wild flight home from the ACFW writer’s conference, I still need to sleep in. Now, if only my daughter’s school would comply and start an hour later, things would be A-OK. And what a wild ride it was, both literally and figuratively. You have to understand, I haven’t been on a … Continue reading

Growl Bigger than its Bite
Lucie Jeanne finished the final lap and met her friends by the sidelines of the marked practice area resembling a football field. Panting, she stretched her aching muscles as she tried to remember why she tortured herself like this every summer. Sweat dripped down her back. Band camp was killing her. She shielded her eyes … Continue reading
Reasons for Joining a Critique Group
