Attending Conferences

By on August 4, 2009 in Want to see a book in Action? Read the Blog-a-Book Series

I attended my first writer’s conference in ’97. Since I’d traveled a lot in my corporate career, arriving alone at Wheaton College didn’t overwhelm me. I got along with my roommate and soon made friends with the newly contracted DiAnn Mills. I attended Davis Bunn’s continuing sesson and soaked up every thing he taught us. But when I went to the first ACFW conference in 2002, I hated it. Rather, I hated myself in the midst of it. I felt like a goof, out of place, like I wanted to follow the “popular kids.” Oddly enough, I wasn’t without connection. I was on the conference committee. I was friends with the president. Conferences stir a lot of emotions. Many of them negative. It’s like high school all over again only […]

Meet the Voices: Lynn Squire

By on July 29, 2009 in Meet the Voices!

This week, Meet the Voices features Lynn Squire.

While she admits to occasionally straying from His intended course, her faith in Him infuses her writing.

This led to the creation of her book […]

Meet the Voices: Cathy Bryant

By on July 22, 2009 in Meet the Voices!

Meet the Voices introduces Cathy Bryant. Cathy Bryant has written for years, but seriously began to pursue her dream of writing a book in June of 2008. She joined ACFW, studied writing how-to books, and in November of 2008, participated in NaNoWriMo and produced her first completed novel. She is a finalist in the contemporary romance category of the 2009 ACFW Genesis competition. She lives in East Texas with her husband of 28 years, and is a private music instructor and church organist. What is the biggest writing challenge you’ve encountered this    past year – craft, career, writing life, etc. The biggest challenge I’ve faced this past year is the monumental task of learning to self-edit. When I first started my writing journey, I truly believed the hardest part would […]
