Tricia Goyer: My Writing Life

MY WRITING LIFE: My writing journey began in 1994 when I attended my first writer’s conference with my friend, Cindy Martinusen. Cindy and I went to the same church and we both had dreams of becoming writers. Everything at Mt. Hermon was new to me, but I just followed the instructor’s directions. It took two…

No Flashing Green Neon lights, Yet

I’m struggling with deciphering God’s specifics about me “not writing.” My biggest struggle with writing had been making my Work In Progress (WIP) an obsession.
