Sue Tornai and Chris Pedersen, enjoying the 2010 Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference.
The
morning track Writing Children's Books with Bill Myers was filled with
great information and tools for writing stories today's children will read. The
class, including homework assignments, was as much fun as reading one of Bill's
books.
I attended two classes on writing with humor which were not only fun but also
informative and had great handouts. I learned from B. J. Taylor the formula for
how write stories to win the Guidepost Writer's Contest. The winner gets an all
expenses paid week in New York learning how to write for Guidepost magazine. B.
J. also taught a class I attended on how to write personal stories for
anthologies for Chicken Soup where the pay is $200/story.
James Watkins bought my article "Wanted: Ordinary People" for
publication in Vista. Susan King took one of my devotions home with her for
possible publication in The Upper Room. Tonya Stoneman reviewed my article
"A Dialogue with Deity" and made suggestions for a rewrite and
re-submission which I am now working on.
I enjoyed being in the company of other Christian writers with hearts
for God and similar projects to mine. Chris Pederson and I connected with
people who are developing an online children's writer's group that
started with our classmates in the morning track Writing Children's Books
with Bill Myers. I am looking forward to attending next year when Bill
Myers will be Mt. Hermon's keynote speaker. He is awesome!
Blessings,
