Episode 5: Is Indie Publishing Right for You?

Good morning,

I hope you are looking forward to a day full of writing success. I speak for all of us when I say we are thrilled to be a part of your day. In this episode of our podcast we discuss the big goal: publishing.

This digital age we live in has created a whole new world of possibilities for writers. No longer do we have to find an agent to promote our book in the hope that some faceless editor will bet on it and put it in print years after you made that final edit. The good news is that now anyone can publish their book [Read more…] about Episode 5: Is Indie Publishing Right for You?

Episode 4: Establishing Daily Writing Habits

Good Morning,

In today’s podcast we discuss our writing habits. It’s easy to sit down at the writing desk when the ideas are flowing, but what do you do when you have writer’s block or just don’t feel like writing? Well, we’ve been there too. Writing Group is a huge source of motivation because of the built-in accountability to one another, but our Christian faith is even more helpful.

2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV) says “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” [Read more…] about Episode 4: Establishing Daily Writing Habits

Episode 3: Free, Simple Websites

Orangutans and Silverware

Greetings Indie Writers!

Do you remember the first time your parents left you home alone? How did you handle this little slice of freedom? Did you quietly reorganize the silverware drawer, counting the minutes until adult supervision once again entered the home? Or, did you run around, flailing your arms like a deranged orangutan and screaming at the top of your lungs until you felt like you would puke? Well, recently Jamie and myself were left to our own devices on podcast recording day. I’ll let you guess which analogy best fits our reaction. [Read more…] about Episode 3: Free, Simple Websites

Episode 2: Critiquing

Can you take a little criticism?

Faithful are the wounds of a friend… Proverbs 27:6

Greetings from Michigan!

It’s not always easy to accept criticism, especially when that criticism is about something we have poured our heart and soul into. As authors, that is exactly the position we put ourselves into when we offer our work up for critique. But the Bible is very clear about the importance of seeking wise counsel.

I don’t always see problems in my manuscript, mostly because I am too close to it. I love [Read more…] about Episode 2: Critiquing

Episode 1: Writing Groups

This one thing helped me finish my novel

Greetings from Michigan!

I’ll never forget the drive to the first meeting of my writing group, the Fellowship of Ladies and Accountability in Writing Society, or, as we like to refer to ourselves, FLAWS. A tongue-in-cheek title which truly reflects the quirky personalities of its members, but on that drive, I didn’t know that. I didn’t realize that I was not only going to enjoy these meetings, but I was going to become very close with the women of the group. So close that we would not only share our writing with one another, but our lives as well, the good stuff as well as the difficult stuff. That bond didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen, and for that I am forever grateful. [Read more…] about Episode 1: Writing Groups
