The Greatest Storyteller Ever Sold

Long, long ago in a land far away, a child was born. No ordinary baby, the Christ child had come to save the world from sin.

The prophecies had been fulfilled. What hadn’t been mentioned in those prophecies was what a great storyteller Jesus would be. The Bible is full of the amazing stories He told. And all were spoken in a natural, easy-to-understand format.

Jesus came that we might have life. No doubt about it, but for writers, He also came that we might have stories… lots of them and a marvelous template of how we should reach the masses with our prose.

Heart of a Writer

Let’s face it. You’re cut from a different cloth. You see the world through a strange set of eyes. You look for ways to murder people and get away with it and talk about it with friends in a crowded restaurant. You routinely express both sides of a conversation… with yourself… OUT LOUD!

Behind all that bizarre behavior is the catalyst of what makes you who you are and compels you to do what you do. It’s the heart of a writer. And it lives inside you.

The heart of a writer is unique in many ways. Here are a few:

Checkup From the Neck Up

By on December 7, 2013 in 4. Writer’s Life, Inspiration and Life Coaching, Encourage Me!, Life Coaching, Reba Hoffman

I know it’s happened to you. You’re tired, overworked, overwhelmed and trying to just keep your head above water in the middle of your world falling apart. Then right in the middle of your perfect storm some well-meaning loved one says something like, “When life throws you lemons, just make lemonade.”

Seriously?

Congratulations for resisting the urge to hurl them through a plate glass window. Never mind the fact that you HATE the lemonade they suggested you make with the sour fruit you seem to be overrun with at the moment, and the fact that lemons make you break out in hives.

They really did mean well. They just didn’t know what to say and somehow felt obligated to say something. But that’s for another blog post. Here’s the meat I want to get to.

Crazy Reindeer Specials from My Book Therapy!

By on November 29, 2013 in 1. Discover your story, 2. Create Your Story, 3. Publish your Story, 4. Writer’s Life, Inspiration and Life Coaching, Delivering Convincing Proposals, Encourage Me!, How do I Pitch my Book?, How do I Promote my book?, How do I write a Synopsis?

Santa’s Reindeer have taken over My Book Therapy!
It finally happened.
The Reindeer have had it with Santa getting all the glory. We all knew the inevitability of the revolt after Dasher demanded his own Sugar Cookie break over Finland. And then Vixen said she absolutely, “wouldn’t fly over Prague without a mint-hot cocoa.”
The source of their discontent? Santa’s sack of goodies.

“We’re the ones pulling the sleigh. Why does he get to distribute all the gifts?” Prancer said on the eve of the takeover.

The Reindeer assumed control of the MBT Warehouse during Thanksgiving, sneaking in under cover of night, cloaked as Moose. (“After all, people confuse us all the time,” Comet said in an cell-phone conversation from inside the MBT HQ)

And now, they’re offering MBT Bundles of Reindeer Specials at CRAZY prices.

And giving away FREE STUFF!

With these kinds of deals, it’s clear the Reindeer have lost their minds!

But, until MBT re-assumes control of inventory, it’s your chance to take advantage of these Crazy Reindeer Specials for Writers.

The culprits and their bundle offers are listed below…

(and Visit the MBT Marketplace to catch all their latest craziness!)
