I’ve said it often, “Writing for the Lord isn’t easy!” Seriously, just because He has called you and given you a gift with words doesn’t mean your words will always flow quickly and easily. The same as other gifts (think athlete or woodworker, singer or actor) writing is a gift that needs to be developed and requires much practice.
The May 11-14 Colorado Christian Writers Conference offers labs and early bird workshops on Wednesday followed by three days of workshops and continuing sessions to help you grow your writing and marketing skills.
But CCWC doesn’t focus on just the practical, as important as that is. Through our six keynotes (including two by Liz Curtis Higgs) you can expect to be encouraged and inspired. And if you’re stuck, I highly recommend you invest five and a half hours with Ava Pennington in this continuing session that I know will be life-changing.
Your Writing Life Dig Deep, Build High Set a Solid Foundation and Fan the Flames of Your Passion! with Ava Pennington Author, Bible Teacher Writing Coach, Freelance Editor www.AvaPennington.com |
| Ava has a heart for God’s Word and God’s people. She is passionate about encouraging writers to use their gifts for His glory. Ava began writing for publication after a 20+ year career as a corporate executive in NYC. As she transitioned to writing and teaching, she learned, first-hand, the importance of establishing a solid foundation as she pursued writing. Her publication credits include articles in numerous magazines as well as short stories in 30+ anthologies. Her one-year devotional, Daily Reflections on the Names of God, is being released by Revell Books this year in a gift book edition that includes content from the original devotional. For more information about Ava’s books, speaking, and writers’ services, visit her website. The taller the building, the deeper the foundation. You may have just begun your writing journey. Or you may be multi-published, but you’re feeling stuck. Either way, what are you building on? Learning the technical skills to write in our chosen genre is important. But we won’t finish well if we don’t have the foundation in place to fulfill God’s call on our life. This continuing class will include: * Nurturing your first love (or returning to it!) on a biblical foundation * Finding God’s will for your writing * Growing your writing prayer life * Balancing “real” life with your writing life * Guarding your heart against the enemy’s lies * Overcoming obstacles and frustrations * Persevering through dry times * Time management vs. time stewardship * Stepping out in faith to fulfill your calling * Trusting God’s timing Regardless of where you are in your writing journey, this class will serve as a mini-retreat for you to recharge, refocus, reconnect, and rejoice in what God is doing in and through you and your writing! |
