A huge thank you to the incredible Voices ezine staff for their dedication to the ezine.

No matter how hard you try, you’re not going to please every reader. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone and explore those negative reviews for any nuggets of truth that will help you to grow as a writer.

Sometimes we may feel like we can’t. But you know what? We don’t have to do it by ourselves.

Character is how you act when no one is looking.

Naming your characters is nearly as important as naming your children—it’s going to stay with them for the rest of their lives, so choose wisely.

Trust God with every aspect of your life and obey His leading. These two choices create your personal recipe for success.

Jesus is the Gift of Hope for all mankind. Once you accept Him, move beyond hope and into belief to show others who Jesus is. You may be the only Bible someone reads.

Developing relationships in the writing world isn’t about using someone to get published. It’s about growing as a writer.

Writing takes an investment in time and money to be successful, but you also need to invest in relationships, if for no other reason than to let you know you’re not an island, but a continent connected to other writers who understand the sting of rejection, the excitement of muse, and the thrill of the first sale.
