Thursday’s Writer’s Headlines…
Yep, it’s Thursday, and that means we’re looking at the headlines. Read below to see who’s been blessed with writing success, who’s been writing away and is in the running for $100, and discover a scholarship opportunity for Christian women speakers!
February Kudos!
Celebrate and do the happy dance with me for these great reports!
1. Edie Melson (SC): Edie is the newest regular columnist for NovelRocket, posting the 1st and 4th Friday of every month. Read Edie’s first Novel Rocket post here.
2. Lill Kohler (TX): It’s been a long time in coming, but my blog, Rocking My World is finally up and running. I have been posting for several months, but have forgotten to get the word out to all the Christian Writer’s Den followers. I am having fun with it and learning oh so much as I go along.
3. Janelle Woodyard (FL): I created my first YouTube video, Angles in Art, and linked it to my
website.
4. Marietta Taylor (NC): My devotion, “Family Feud,” was accepted for publication on WOW- Writing On The Word. It will post on April 18, 2012. You can follow Marietta’s blog here.
5. Troy Dennis (New Brunswick, Canada): Last month I started a blog for associate/youth pastors in churches with only two pastors, Pastor of Everything Else.
6. Tracy Crump (MS): My article, “The Teachable Attitude,” is posted in this month’s critique column for Southern Writers Magazine.
Congratulations to all these great writers, speakers, and creatives. You’re doing the work of a writer and I praise God with you for His blessing on your efforts!

Who Hit the MoGo7000 Goal?
Well, Cindy Patterson is the lone goal-reacher in the month of February, writing 7016 new words on her book project. Congratulations, Cindy!
But I gotta ask, is no one else working on a book right now? If you are, and you’re not taking advantage of MoGo7000, you’re missing a real opportunity to finish a book this year AND to have a chance at winning $100 in cold, hard cash.
Here are the details on how to participate in MoGo7000–it’s easy and free! And it starts over every month, so what are you waiting for? You have plenty of time to reach your March goal of 7000 new words this month.
Hope to hear from more of you next month. Otherwise, Cindy is going to win $100 by default! (Which wouldn’t hurt your feelings at all, would it, Cindy?)

Ladies, Do You Want to Attend Christian Communicators Conference at The Cove–for FREE?
Most of you probably know Cec Murphey. Cec is the author of well over 120 books and has blessed millions of readers through his New York Times’ bestselling books, 90 Minutes in Heaven (with Don Piper) and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (with Dr. Ben Carson). His books have sold millions of copies, have been translated into more than 40 languages, and have brought hope and encouragement to countless people around the world.
But Cec is also a mentor to mentors and writers. Authors, writing instructors, conference leaders, and speakers look to him for guidance about writing and wisdom about life. We’re blessed to call him our friend. I hope you’ll check out his website at and his writer’s blog at
If you’re a woman who has ever felt that God may be calling you to be a speaker and proclaim His Great Name, we’d love to have you join us at the 2012 Christian Communicators Conference August 29-September 2 at The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove.
I’m thrilled to say The Cec Murphey Scholarship Fund has again chosen to bless us with scholarships for this fall’s Christian Communicators Conference. These are full scholarships, including lodging, meals, and the entire conference and are valued at $799 each. Check out the Cec Murphey Scholarship Applications here. But you need to hurry…the deadline is April 1, 2012.
And space is limited, so don’t delay!
