Writers are often called to a way of life that’s sedentary, solitary and single-minded. Are you prepared for the long game? This workshop offers simple, practical prescriptions to prevent, combat, and minimize the more common occupational hazards. Linda will encourage you to choose an accountability partner and craft individual actionable, attainable goals.

Writer gaffes have quick fixes. The trick is to spot them. Linda has the experience to help you develop an eye for what needs improvement. Her own adventure—twelve years to publication and a three-book contract—showed the constant quest for rock-solid self-editing is most critical.

Your voice creates a first impression but for many it remains a vague concept.
God is triune. Man is also—mind, body, soul—and so is your voice.

1. What you say reveals your mind.
2. How you say it reveals your physical body.
3. Why you say it reveals your soul.

This session offers a framework to evaluate the health and care of your own, triune voice.

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. Your fiction will be enriched and enlivened by evoking the universal truths of scripture. This session discusses how to allude to biblical people, places, events, timing, numbers, names, and themes. Linda will provide examples for students to analyze before they begin to practice with their work.
