I recently had the honor of being named as a finalist in the ACFW Genesis contest, and had two days in which to make changes to my entry to resumbit for the finals. That was a tense two days, as I agonized over every word, every sentence and every paragraph (and for that matter--every comma). My entry consisted of a one-page, single-spaced synopsis and the first fifteen pages of my manuscript.  Read more >

I hope to pass on to you what I've discovered. The Glory of Israel"He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man, that He should change His mind." ~1 Samuel 15:29 (NIV)  Read more >

After yesterday's amazing video and our discussions on writing character emotion, I started thinking about how often we feel the emotion of inadequacy. The feeling that we're not good enough, that we're not able, that we can't. Then I realized that many characters in the Bible felt the same way--especially when it came to God calling them to a certain task.  Read more >
