Are You A Writer?
Last month, I met with a group of writers to talk about writing and see if there was any interest in starting an online Christian writers group. There was!
So starting this Wednesday, and every 3rd Wednesday of each month for the rest of the year, we'll be meeting online with anyone who wants to talk about writing, specifically about turning your thoughts into books.
I've written and self-published dozens of books over the years and would be glad to talk about how you can, too! All for free, for the world to see! I'd love for you to join us!
I've posted a video of our January meeting on YouTube so you can watch and get a feel for the group and what we'll be talking about for the year. Our January meeting was on the topic of "Why Write?" and how God can use your unique words to touch hearts everywhere.

Zoom Link for February
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, February 19, from 7-9 pm Central Time. You can join us live at this link:

If you've never used Zoom before, it's a free video chat software that will let you see and hear everyone in the group in real time. This link will work on your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
Feel free to connect 10-15 minutes before 7 pm to test out your connection, as I'll be in the chat room starting at quarter till. Please join the video chat using both audio and video as it will help us even more to encourage one another. We'll start promptly at 7.
Our topic for February's meeting is "Getting Started." We'll talk about choosing your topic, what to include, and how to get started writing those first words and chapters. You'll walk away with a game plan for writing your entire book from beginning to "The End."
Facebook Group
I've also created a Facebook group so you can keep in touch with others in the group between meetings. You can find and join this group on Facebook at this link.
