What new books have you read recently that you can’t stop thinking about?

 I love those stories that linger on. You wonder how the characters are doing. You keep going over the scenes in your mind. Yes, the author definitely accomplished what they set out to do. 

Please leave a book recommendation. Along with the reason why you enjoyed the story so much.

Was it the quirky characters?

The unusual setting? Or the intricate plot? 

Was this your favorite genre or something different from what you usually read?

It was in the air a few days ago,  Now the winds are howling and the temperatures are chillin’. But March starts this week so I remain firm in my optimism – Spring is in the AIr!

Spring offers renewal and restoration, a lifting of the spirit and a desire for change. Bringing us back to Determined Drive and a listing of – you guessed it…new goals. Not just writing goals but personal goals as well. What are your goals for Spring, for the next month or two? 

Are you preparing for a writer’s conference?

Starting a new writing project?

Spring cleaning and organizing your files and desk area?

Leave a comment and share three major goals for spring. 

My Spring Goals:

1) I’m prepping for Blue Ridge conference in May.

2) Starting a new local writing project.

3) Starting (once again) a new exercise session.  

The song “Great is Thy Faithfulness” keeps rolling through my mind today. God is a trustworthy Savior. When we have no might, He supplies our need and gives us supernatural strength. 

When we walk through the dark times, He brings light through spiritual mentors and dear friends. Through unexpected and unexplained ways. Shining His love into those hurt places. This is true in all aspects of our walk with God. Including our writing. When we are discouraged, He sends encourage-ment. At just the right moment and in His perfect timing.

Has the Lord encouraged you in your writing efforts?

I encourage you today to continue writing for the glory of God. He has called you and the burden of your heart needs to flow out of your pen (or tap it’s way across your keyboard…) Write to spread God’s glory. Let His name be glorified through your voice. You are unique. No one else has your fingerprint or your experience.

God is faithful. Be faithful to Him in the calling He has given you.

Please share a memory of God’s faithfulness.
