Your Next Step

Need some help in taking a step?

Want some ideas?

Looking for something to spark your words?

Maybe you have a short story or an article (in your head or on paper), and wish you could find a spot for it.

Read on, and hopefully, you’ll be inspired.

• Vonda Skelton, writer / speaker / actress, has a very encouraging site for writers. The third Thursday of each month, Vonda posts writing opportunities, complete with links. It’s a cornucopia of places to submit. This link is to last month’s posting, but never fear – tomorrow is the third Thursday of February, and there will be fresh offerings on Vonda’s site.
• Want to brush up on your skills? This particular link takes you to some information on concise writing – one of my favorite topics.
• A friend often sends me notices of contests, and I was thrilled to find Writer’s Digest competitions all neatly summed up on one page. There’s something for everyone here. What’s to lose?
• And how about some encouragement? I stumbled across Nikki Arana’s words to Christian writers, and I couldn’t pass them up.

“I am not called to write. I am called to intimacy with Him. It is about letting your dreams die and being willing to live out His dreams for you. It is about spiritual growth that has nothing to do with the writing itself. It has to do with the journey. It has to do with sanctification, being set apart for His purposes…”

You can read Nikki Arana’s entire encouraging post here. 

And now…what’s YOUR next step?
