1. Are you thinking
about going to a writers conference in 2016? I found this link on The Write Conversation.
This website has articles on what agents look for, how to get your blog noticed
by using key words, and other subjects.
2. James R. Preston
guest posts at Writers
in the Storm. He gives three reasons to believe in your work.
3. Here's another
reason to not take everything the mainstream media says as gospel truth. WND
reports that the shooter at the Colorado Abortion Clinic was not a Republican
as the media claimed. He had no ties to pro-life organizations, which condemned
his actions. Check out the story.
4. Lucinda McDowell
Seacrest, at The
Write Conversation, urges us to think and pray before we write. Who hasn't seen
the virtual fist fights on Facebook? Our words carry power. It doesn't mean we
shouldn't voice our opinions or concerns, but our attitudes and the way we
express ourselves say a lot about who we are.
5. Here we are deep
into January. I'm longing for spring and flowers. A couple of people have given
me orchid plants - much to my horror. The first one I received years ago, and I promptly killed
it. In case someone has given you one of these beauties or their gorgeous
blooms enticed you to bring them home, here's a website to help you keep them alive and
thriving.
Writers: Have you
been to a writers conference? Please share your experience and how you benefited.
Readers: Other than
the Bible, what book has strengthened your faith or given you a new perspective
on life? Please share.
