I just heard from several authors on how a writer’s conference they went to was so helpful for them. The keynote speaker inspired them to get back to work with new excitement. I can’t stress enough how important writer’s conferences are.

There are many workshops and displays that can give you ideas, and material to help you become a better writer.

I have even had good success selling my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” at the conference book store.

Had a wonderful time with two of our grandchildren. Anna and I went to see a movie, and an ice cream cone at McDonald’s afterwards. We then watched the Oregon State Beavers football team win their game. I’m an alum of OSU. 

Doing special things with loved ones can have lasting memories. You don’t have to search for something elaborate, or fancy to have a wonderful time.

Think about some “little,” things you can to with someone special. It could be a picnic. It could be a walk int he woods together. It may a shopping day, (even if you are like me, and are not sure you like to shop.)

Get creative, and surprise someone today. You will have fun and they will be grateful.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever,  give up!

I have been receiving many emails lately from different marketing companies wanting me to sign-up to use their programs. How do I know which one is right for me?

My answer to that is you should meet marketing experts at a writer’s conference. Take one of their workshops, and see for yourself what they offer, and if the product is worth your time. I have had two separate workshops with marketing experts that did wonders for me.

I didn’t have to sign-up for anything, and there were many questions answered that wouldn’t have happened if I would have sign-up online for some online marketing company.

How about your own life? How do we know what is being told us by individuals is the truth? How can we rely on their view of what is right and wrong? The answer is that we can’t.

We have a clear picture laid out for us in the Bible. God’s Word should be more than enough for us to use that directs us on what paths we should take.

Don’t let, “False teachers” decide what is best for you. Let God decide what is best for you through His Word.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not 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!
