Why do I need to go to a writer’s conference? (I thought you would never ask!)

Writer conferences have many benefits that some people may not know about. Let me mention a few:

  • You can have your manuscript critiqued by professional editors or agents for free.
  • You can have appointments with those same agents, and editors, plus many publishers.
  • You can go to many workshops that teach you some skills to be a better writer.
  • You can sit and talk with other writers and get feedback from them on how they were successful.
  • You can hear highly successful authors give key note speeches on their approach to success.

Going to a writer’s conference has too many benefits for you to pass them up. Try to fit one in this year.

Do you try to hid your past? Are you ashamed of something you have done. I have been there. I thought I was worthless and had a past that was not very glamorous. I was having many pity parties that no one wanted to come to.

How can we keep on going forward, when we keep living  in the past? We can’t. How can we clear up our past? We just need to ask God to forgive any past action that is wrong in His eyes, and turn them all over to Him.

Once you have asked God to forgive you, He erases all your sins and negative past out of His books. They are gone forever.

You have a fresh start, and can concentrate on pleasing God for the rest of your life, and you can look for a bright future.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never unloved.

You are never forsaken.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I have a task ahead of me. I was told by an agent to submit a proposal to her on doing a series of books under the  title, of “Signs of Hope.” It would books for seniors, teens, military, mothers, fathers, teachers, etc. It wouldn’t  completely be like the series called “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” It would be more from my heart. It would be more like Max Lucado’s type of writing.

I have to put this proposal together soon. I have been thinking a great deal on what approach to use. I will keep you updated as to how it is going.

Have you wondered if God is there sometimes? Do you think He might be ignoring you?

I have been close a few times, but every time I even come close to thinking that God is far away, He steps in and soothes my soul much more than I ever expected, and brightens my darkened life.

I love the bumper sticker: “If you feel God is far away, guess who moved.”

Many think that when God comforts our hearts, our troubles should go away, but if that were so, people would turn to God only out of desire to be relieved of pain and not out of love for Him.

We must understand that being comforted can also mean receiving strength, encouragement, and hope to deal with our troubles. The more we suffer, the more God comforts us. If you are feeling overwhelmed, let God comfort you.

Remember, that every trial that you endure will help you to comfort someone else who is going through the same thing.

Also remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Do we need to go to a writer’s conference to be successful?

I have been asked this question many times. Let me share some thoughts on this:

  • At a writer’s conference are many acquisition editors, publishers, and literary agents.
  • You can schedule a meeting with any one of these people and present your case for a book you want published.
  • At some conferences you can send a proposal to certain editors, publishers, and agents ahead of time, and they will read them and make comments on them for you to read, or they may even ask to meet with you if they really like your proposal.
  • At meals, you can sit right at the table with one of these people and casually talk to them about your project. I received several writing “gigs,” doing that.
  • There is also all the knowledge and training you receive at a conference. There are many workshops, and key note speakers, that allow you to gain many insights on how to improve your writing, or ways to connect with the right people.

Writer’s conferences are a great way to help you move ahead in your writing career.

Thought just for you…

Do you feel like no one believes in you? Do you feel that what ever you do it won’t be successful?

Remember this…God made you in His own image, and he doesn’t make mistakes. He made you with a purpose in mind. When you find that purpose you can move mountains with God’s help.

With God n your side, who can be against you?

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all…never, ever, give up!
