Enjoying the deeper life, plunging into faith issues, coming up for God-breathed air...
WRITERS GROUPS
Topics include:
WRITER, WORSHIPPER, WARRIOR- finding fulfillment in a three- pronged life as we look at King David at his best and worst
TAMING TITLE TRAUMA - Baffled why your magazine editor didn’t appreciate your suggestion of “Gone With the Schwinn” as a title for your serious exposé on the rash of driveway burglaries in your neighborhood? Does choosing a title for your book take more time than writing it? Come learn some secrets—well, helpful hints—for taming title trauma.
ALMOST PERSUADED - Everyone including your mother tells you your writing is good. Then why has Focus on the Family rejected your devotional piece for teens six times? Why can’t you get a publisher to take a serious look at your contemporary romantic comedy written in Shakespearean English? This workshop may help you discover how to tailor your writing for today’s audience’s tastes, habits, preferences, and needs.
WRITING BY HEART - What does it cost to be a writer? What can a writer expect from life, from editors, from the Lord? Is it worth it?
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOOK - (or Writing for Fun and Nonprofit) - The average 1500-word magazine article can reach more readers than the average best-selling book, and the most wide-reaching may not be the best paying. If you’ve hesitated to call yourself a writer because you haven’t made Oprah’s book-of-the-month club, join this workshop and kiss your reticence goodbye.
VALIUM-FREE WAITING - Contrary to popular opinion, a writer's most useful tool is not a state-of-the art laptop but the ability to wait with grace. Nice words. How do we pull that off without losing our sanity?
PAINTING WITH WORDS: Sloshing Buckets or Fine Strokes with a Sable Brush?
HITTING DELETE BEFORE YOUR EDITOR DOES: Painless Self-Editing
