Is This Fiction Writing Master Class on Your Radar?

Exciting news! Whether you write fiction for children, YA, or adults, you can benefit from Write2Ignite's Virtual Master Class. On September 19, 2020, author Joyce Moyer Hostetter, author of 5 published books and one to be released in April 2021, will help us master these 4 elements in writing fiction. 

·       Creating Memorable Characters — Tried and true strategies for creating characters.

·       On Writing Plot: What’s the Problem — Structure and the power of conflict in creating a great plot.

·       View Point and Dialogue— Dialogue that works overtime and strategies for creating an authentic narrator.

The Master Class format is a day-long set of workshops designed to help you build specific skills. If you want to improve and polish your writing skills, you will benefit from these features:

·       Instruction by master authors 

·       Guided hands-on practice of new writing skills

·       Immediate feedback

 

This Fiction Writing Master Class will be an online event using Zoom. If you’re not familiar with using that platform, never fear! We’ll have a practice session on Friday, September 18, 2020 just for you.

I'm thrilled to be a part of bringing this event to you and hope you’ll join us on Sept. 19.

Find Inspiration in Photographs

Hello, friends,

I was invited to write a guest post for the Christian Writing Today website, and I’m happy to inform you that my post is now up! You can check it out here: Brenda’s Photograph Inspiration Article

They chose not to use a photo I referenced, so I’m going to post it here. This is a photo my daughter took a few years ago. She ended up using it in a calendar she made as a Christmas gift.

It’s always an interesting experience for an editor to be edited. Some may take it as a personal insult and get defensive, but I’ve come to view it as a learning experience. Some edits may cause me to wonder a bit, but I often nod my head or maybe shrug my shoulders. It really is easier to edit someone else’s work than it is my own!

What has inspired you lately?
