I have a credible reason for being a day late in posting this! ;P
This week, I attended the Montrose Christian Writer's Conference here in Montrose, PA, for the second year in a row. It was AWESOME! (as usual!) If you haven't been to this particular conference, I suggest you make plans to be here next year! Some of the authors on faculty this year were: Karen Whiting, Cindy K. Sproles, Tiffany Amber Stockton, Diane Stark, Jeanette Levellie, Sue Fairchild, Michele Chynoweth, Zoe M. McCarthy, and some others! They had 30 minute critiques, or *free* 15 minute meetings with authors/agents/editors to show them your work and get feedback. I did that this year and it was so helpful! I learned a lot about marketing books, editing and formatting manuscripts, how to make scenes more interesting, how to bring history to life in a story, how to write devotions, and much more. My brain hurt by the end of the day, but that's expected! It happened last year, too. ;) Some guidelines were in place due to the virus but it didn't make it less fun. As usual, the director, Marsha Hubler, did a fabulous job of lining up the faculty this year and getting everything arranged. And the morning challenges and jokes were quite a highlight of my days there. :) I'm so thankful the Lord gave us this opportunity to come together as writers to learn more about writing the message He would have us share with others. I can't wait to go back next year! (Lord willing.) See you soon! Carolyn P.S. Check out my book haul from the conference!
