Monday: Erica Vetsch blogged about how to play Regency Bingo! Prizes, fun and more in the Facebook Group Regency Bingo 2020.
Wednesday: Cate Nolan was here talking about the writing journey and how James Scott Bell's book helped her write her way through the mist.
Thursday: Friend of Seekerville and medical suspense author Dr. Richard Mabry spent the day with us today and chatted about how to take the grain of an idea and turn it into the wheat of a story... winner of a copy of Doc's newest medical suspense is Dalyn!!!!
Friday: We spent Friday sharing God's word and uplifting verses with our Seekerville friends and family and the winner of "Jesus Calling" is Sherrinda Ketchersid! Congratulations, Sherrinda!!!!
Monday: BLUE MOON MONDAY!!!! Every now and again the good Lord and the calendar give us a random extra Monday or Friday, and this is it which makes it OPEN CRITIQUE DAY!!! Polish a bit of work over the weekend, and then suck up the courage to post it on Monday and we'll honestly tell you what we think... because if you want to make it in this business, lads and lasses, you better develop a thick skin and a thicker hide. And I'm not kidding. One person will win a chapter critique.
Wednesday: There will be no fooling when Mindy Obenhaus discusses the writing process in hopes of helping you find what works for you. And because books bring us comfort, she's got some giveaways in store, too.
Friday: Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste... Some of the best stories come out of times of crisis. How do you look at a crisis from a writer's point of view, and how do you weave a single story or series out of a monster-sized event? Join us on Friday to hear how authors take a crisis... and make it into story.

This Is About More Than Toilet Paper: Some Thought On The Coronavirus by Jeff Goins at Goins, Writer
Happy weekend, folks.... although the past two weeks have kind of felt like an ongoing and weird series of Saturdays, haven't they... I'm pretty sure we're going to see a new mental health syndrome labeled "Groundhog Day Syndrome" when all is said and done! But not here... here we are working on writing and walking to keep up exercise and not cleaning.... pshaw! Perish the thought. Although I am painting the dining room, so that's a project-and-a-half to get done before the farm season gets underway... and planning a VERY DIFFERENT EASTER this year, which may involve some ingenuity. But we've got this, my friends. We've got this!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the Love Inspired Suspense FaceBook Party on April 1, 6:30 - 8:30! I hope a lot of you will join in the fun that night!
ReplyDeletePraying for everyone! Stay safe and healthy!
Happy Saturday, everyone!
ReplyDeleteLike Ruthy said, I'm not really sure what day it is! But we're doing fine - hubby's part-time job is still going, the puppies still need walks, and I'm spending time each day doing what I love best: writing!
Stay well and encouraged!
Happy Weekend, everyone. It is hard to keep track of the days any more. Hubby still goes to work everyday (he's a banker) so he still has a schedule. Stay well everyone.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Seekerville! After almost two weeks with family in the house, they are on their way back home and it's time for me to get back to writing. Something that's nearly impossible when you have a two and thirteen-year-old vying for your attention. Attention I am happy to give them. But I have a late-April deadline, which means I will be hunkered down in my office, pounding out those final chapters. A pretty good way to escape the world, if I do say so. Of course, I also need to catch up on laundry. But hey, at least we have toilet paper, so it's all good. Prayers and hugs to all. Stay safe, wash your hands and use the common sense God granted you.
