With speakers, the refining comes during your talks. It must save a lot of editing time. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

It was wonderful to see the Lord move on their hearts and it was also awesome to try and refine new material. The thing about being a speaking author is you discover the points you need to clarify and refine before you put it into print.<br /><br />I'm enjoying all your comments. <br />Blessings,<br />Linda Evans Shepherd<br />http://www.VisitLinda.comLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331195750484351190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-12272179039355902892010-10-21T22:19:27.241-04:002010-10-21T22:19:27.241-04:00Hi Lynn -

Maybe because of Christ in them, Christian authors can share the spotlight, work with one another, and be selfless in their writing. I admire Ms. Evans and all writers who have collaborated on a novel.

As a former homeschool mom, I was in the thick of things for many years and was asked to share about starting a group, teaching writing, homeschool grads, etc. I've also spoken to a small writing group. I was a member and we would share various tips and things about the writing life.<br /><br />Thanks to both of you for sharing!<br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
