Characters/Writing Goals/Confiscated/Memorizing/Flowers


1.  Character development has a strong impact on dialogue. Chip MacGregor, at MacGregor Literary, gives tips on developing character voice.

2.  We're not too far off from the beginning of the year. Are you accomplishing your writing goals? I came across an article on Positive Writer on One Goal to be a Brilliant, Accomplished Writer (Are You Ready?) Be forewarned this isn't a Christian site, and he uses the term, "mantra," quite often. (Otherwise, it's okay - no profanity.)

3.  Christian Headlines reports on a Church Retreat Center being confiscated by the Iranian government.

4.  Jeanette Levellie, at Hope Splashes, shares 5 Ways Memorizing Scripture Can Enrich Your Life.

5.  Are you looking forward to spring as much as I am? Last year, I got such a late start on my garden. After I broke my wrist, it was impossible to finish. I've promised myself that I won't procrastinate in 2017. Here's a site to give you some inspiration.


Writers:  How do you make your characters different from each other in terms of personality?

Readers:  Are you longing for spring? Do you have a color palette in mind for this year's garden?

The thoughts of mastering scripture memorization are excellent. I found the article on confiscating a church upsetting but we need to know these things are happening. We planted perennials when we planted flowers in our side/back yard. Lots of color.

Hi Quiet Spirit -

Thanks for your comments. I'm looking forward to planting some gorgeous annuals. For years, I've been limited by a shady front yard. Last fall, my neighbor cut down his tree. Viola! I now have full sun - so excited.
