What Happens To The Books?
May 16th, 201212:11 AM ETRecently, my friend Lisa and I were comparing notes on our creative endeavors. My friend has recorded two CDs of compelling worship music. I have three published biblical fiction novels and a fourth in process of being published. Both of us strongly believe that these are God-directed projects. Both of us pushed to get these done in a timely fashio... -
Unleash the Writer Within!
March 12th, 201201:05 PM ETA vital part of any author's tool kit is their personal library of books on the craft of writing. I have probably a hundred such books in my library right now. No, I have not read all of them. Some I've skimmed, some I will eventually read, and some I have read with a highlighter in hand. This week I've added a new book to my library. Veteran auth... -
I’ve written for 30 years with only one rejection!
February 09th, 201201:11 AM ETYou don't believe that? It's true. The dictionary says rejection is "to refuse to accept or to repudiate." Repudiate? That's not about writing, that's personal. When I started writing, I was doing a lot of writing and a lot of querying and submitting. Obviously heartless little slips were coming in right and left. I took them very personally. Th... -
Standing on the Brink
December 30th, 201105:26 PM ETI've always loved the story of Joshua and Caleb, the two young punks of the group of 12 scouts who were sent by Moses to check out the land God had promised the Israelite nation. When they returned, they said: "It is indeed a magnificent country—a land flowing with milk and honey" (Num. 13:27). But all was not sweet. The rest of the scouts contin... -
It’s Thyme for Love!
November 16th, 201101:34 AM ETWhat better combination is there than a good romance coupled with a who-done-it mystery written cozy style? At least to my point of view, that's always a dynamite combination. I grew up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and have always been fascinated by the divergent styles of the large mansions that populate the lakeshore. When I set out to write Thyme... -
Waning Summer
September 23rd, 201112:10 AM ETSeptember is here! It has been an unusually hot summer and the heat wearies me. I've never been one to enjoy sweating, and this year I seem to have done more than my share. But here in Virginia I've noticed that summer takes a decided turn, and I'm thankful that the intensity of it has passed. But now, as the days grow shorter, the skies less b... -
Chase Your Dreams (It's Never Too Late!)
May 03rd, 201109:21 AM ETOne of the fortunate fringe benefits of having my first novel published has been the opportunity to meet aspiring writers. It usually comes after a book signing or a speaking engagement, and the conversation generally starts something like this, "You know, I've always wanted to write a book myself." Little does the speaker know that I'm extremely p... -
Adventures in Writing...and Homeschooling
April 26th, 201104:28 PM ETMy name is Elizabeth Wiens, and I've been married to my wonderful husband, Gary, for twenty-three years. Together we have four daughters, so I'm sure my husband is looking forward to the day when he can welcome a few young gentlemen into the family. Most of our married life, we have been involved in full-time ministry, raising our own support as ho... -
