What is your favorite writing craft book?
Writer to Writer by Cecil Murphy
Which do you think is the most underrated writing craft book? Why?
Writer to Writer by Cecil Murphy. This book covers almost every aspect of writing and breaks it into bite size pieces. If one reads a page a day their writing will improve.

Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers conference. It’s like writers heaven on earth.
What’s your favorite other source (YouTube, podcast, etc.) for writing tips/info?
I like the Blue Ridge Writers blog, Almost an Author, and The Write Conversation. Jerry’s Guild.

Jerry Jenkins of Jerry’s Guild has so many resources at my fingertips. He covers all aspects of writing and personally answers questions.

Give up, you can’t write well. It was bad advice because anyone can learn to write well if they work hard and learn the craft.

Grow thick skin. Rejection is inevitable in the writing world.
What would you say is the best writing tip for new authors?
Expect rejection and keep learning the craft.

Experience Immanuel Daily
Moses, Polycarp, Rahab, and many other believers throughout history testified to a personal and life-changing encounter with Immanuel, God with us.
What could change in your life if you too encountered God personally? Daily?
Unwanted emotions can grip us, leaving us feeling hopeless, alone, and powerless. Experience Immanuel Daily equips us to live in the knowledge that God dwells in us all the time, empowering us to overcome life's often grueling challenges.
Let's look at people in the Bible, and the stories of others as well, and learn about: Service, Loving kindness, Healing, Grief, Love, AND MORE.
The stories and studies reveal how god's power through the Holy Spirit transformed people in their times of great need. Through the readings, you can find biblical, practical tools for daily practicing the presence of God.
Immanuel is not just a Christmas carol. He is a way of life.
