It’s Real Life

When you think of “the life of a writer,” what do you think of? I imagine an older lady who lives near the ocean, alone with her cat. She walks the beach and collects shells, then later she works with words the same way: Searching for them, studying them, gathering them, and displaying them. My…

The Really Long First Call

What happens after you receive The Call? Does your life change drastically? Do you become an instant celebrity? Do novels begin to pour forth from your fingertips each time they touch the keyboard?

The Joy of Research

I love research. There. I can admit. I love the fact that now I know a stamp cost 3 cents in 1943. That a movie ticket was 17 cents. That half of all K-9s used during World War II by the military were trained at a remote fort in Nebraska. That there were less than…

ACFW: Mission Accomplished

What a wonderful ride! It’s so hard to put into words this year’s ACFW experience, but if I had to choose one word, for me it would be emotional! My second word would be peace! From laughter to tears, from education to building relationships, ACFW Dallas had it all. Worship was incredible. The spirit of…

What’s a chapter-by-chapter synopsis?

Some editors or agents ask for a chapter-by-chapter synopsis. Not all of them do, so don’t automatically assume you need one. However, it’s the easiest type of synopsis to write, in my opinion. It’s simply a list of each chapter number, and then a couple sentences describing what happens in the chapter. Any significant spiritual…
