T. Suzanne Eller Suzie Says: So you want to be a writer

I receive hundreds of e-mails a year from women who want to write a book, or a blog. Where do I start? Is it even possible? Who would want to read what I write?

Great questions!

If you want to write, then start writing. Make it a daily discipline. Journal. Blog. Write a page, or 500 words. Why? Because writing is hard work, and it has to be more than a dream. It has to be a practice, a part of your life.

Gaili Jensen My Dissertation Writing Story…

When Dissertation Troubles Surrounded Me: This is an appreciative letter to thank the people who provided pin-point and professional UK dissertation writing help at the time when I was totally disappointed and had braced myself to meet the disaster regarding my PhD degree.

robin Our First Family Vacation Part 1...

Summer is nearly here and with it comes family vacations. When my kids were little I always looked forward to these vacations. We would load up the RV and be gone for 3 to 4 weeks seeing the country. RVs work great for vacations if you have kids. I did not know this on our first family vacation so I booked a flight to Club Med. in the french west indies. We only had the girls then and they were 3, 4, and 8 years old, the perfect age for long flights and long layovers. What was I thinking!… Continue

Georgie Hockett, A Grand Wedding Mom's 'rant book' not for everyone

I got the book, I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids: Reinventing Modern Motherhood by Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile, as a gift and was thrilled -- finally the real motherhood! Something about having a baby turned me into a truth-teller. "Love this top? No, I didn't get it at Nordstrom; it's pure T.J. Maxx, baby!" But when I read this book, I found myself disagreeing with 75% of what the authors said. Really? A maid over sex? The book is laid out more like a really long magazine a… Continue

Kerrie Turcic Posted My Mom Logic story last night

I've never been good at writing to a prompt, so the Mother of All Bloggers vague "write about your mom logic," idea was hard for me to grasp. It was challenging for me as a writer and as a mom, but in the end, I love my story. It's so true. It's so me. You can read it here! Continue

I truly appreciate my clients (and potential clients) for being so patient with my reconstruction. As I am always committed to bringing you closer to your inspired life, I had to take into consideration my own inspiration.

Vonda Skelton Smoke Signals

I hate tobacco smoke. I hate the way it smells, the way it permeates my clothes and hair, and especially the way it kills. But in this season of my life as a caregiver, cigarette smoke has taken on a new and positive role-as a way to communicate with my terminally-ill sister, Gail. The doctor gave us the bad news six days before Christmas. There was nothing more they could do and my sister had "weeks to months" to live. Three days later my sister and mother moved in with my husband and me. Toge… Continue

Vonda Skelton The Cereal...er...Serial Comma

Okay, I know the title is corny, but I'm desperate. Many writers say the serial comma is passé. Well, you tell me if you think a little comma would have clarified this phrase, reportedly taken from a book dedication: "To my parents, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II." Say what? Could the writer really be the unclaimed offspring of Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II? I don't think so! Can you see that a serial comma (one placed after Mother Teresa) would have made the writer's intent clear?… Continue

December 2, 2009 Merry Christmas! Yes, I know it's only December 2, but I couldn't wait to give you a gift of encouragement from writer and speaker, Mary McKenzie. So what makes Mary so special? Well, besides being a devotional writer, novelist, and speaker, Mary is only 18 years old! Mary is the daughter of Aidan and Cindee McKenzie, and Aidan is the Executive Director of the non-profit organization, Reconciliation Ministries. Mary not only writes a… Continue

Vonda Skelton Interview and Book Give Away with Author Sharon Hoffman

(I apologize that you can't see my photos of Sharon or her awesome book cover--but I can't figure out how to make the photos small enough to add them here!!! If you want to see them, please visit my home blog at www.VondaSkelton.com) I first met Sharon Hoffman at CLASServices speakers' training in Knoxville, TN, where she was a faculty member. I was immediately drawn to her welcoming smile, but it didn't take me… Continue

Vonda Skelton And the Beat Goes On...

November 10, 2008 Ahhh...the melody of words. Don't you love it? Melodic writing truly is music to the ears. But the melody I want to talk about today isn't necessarily created through the use of lyrical, literary, or eloquent words. It's the rhythm of a well-crafted sentence, created when we develop an ear for the beat. Here are two versions each of four passages, none of which would be considered eloquent, and yet I believe they demonstrate varying levels of music through the beat. Which do… Continue

Vonda Skelton God and the Telemarketer

November 4, 2008 You may not believe this, but I know it for a fact: God talks on the telephone. Many years ago, I was putting together a talk on having a gentle spirit. As usual, I searched my concordance for appropriate verses and found many that applied to both men and women. But since I was preparing to speak to women, I typed 1 Peter 3:3-4 into my notes and then wrote, "Ladies, we must pray earnestly and daily for a gentle and quiet spirit." (Hang in there with me, men...this is going to… Continue

Angie Best-Boss My Fertility Plan Launches the 1st Annual International Infertility Haiku Contest

Infertility is difficult. In terms of mental health, research shows it ranks up there with a cancer diagnosis. Identifying and expressing our emotions is just one of the ways we can cope. To encourage reflection, celebrate strength and tenacity, and maybe even laugh, My Fertility Plan announces the launch of the 1st Annual International Infertility Haiku Contest. Why haiku? Anyone can do it. A haiku is a three line poem, made up of only 17 syllables. The first line has 5 syllables. The second… Continue

Hi, writers! I can't wait for you to hear from my friend, Jenny L. Cote. But before you do, let me tell you a little about her. Jenny and I met at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference a few years ago, before she ever had a book contract--and wait till you see what she's done! In her new fantasy series, The Amazing Tales of Max and LizTM, Jenny beautifully blends her passions for God, history, and young people as she takes heroes Max and Liz through pivotal points in Biblical an… Continue

LaShaunda Making Progress

One of my biggest problems with writing is me making it a priority. I put everything else before it. When I started SORMAG, I thought it would feed my need to write, but it didn’t. The characters still work me up from my sleep. However I haven’t pushed writing to the top of the list. Last week I asked myself what was something I wanted to do before I die. Seeing my name on the book spine has been a goal for years. However with my aunt’s death, it made me… Continue

Baby Fish Mouth So here goes...

Well, this is my first official blog post. Oh sure, as a seasoned writer and one gets paid, sometimes, to do so, I have written my fair share of articles. But the blogging, sharing, pouring-your-heart-out-to-strangers concept is one that has left me wanting. Until now. So what made me take to the web to share with strangers? Well, for one, my husband and I have a beautiful 3 year-old son who amazes and touches us everyday. And he is pretty damn funny when he is not infuriating. So I want to doc… Continue

How are you defining "big families" for the purpose of your study? In some respect that's all relative, as some people consider 4 kids to be a big family and others not till there are 8 kids, or somewhere in between.
