Many thanks to my sweet
friend, Jen Puckett, for this exciting information!
My first novel, Night Blooming Jasmine, is being published because I won 1st place in the Westbow Munce contest. Such a great experience. And I do have a second book ... what an opportunity. I hope previous winners are eligible.
ReplyDeleteLisa! Congratulations on winning 1st place for your novel! You are amazing. Keep us posted on when Night Blooming Jasmine is released.
DeleteDo you ever work on writing a memoir? Hope so! :)
Linda
I do have a memoir, Then Monday Came:The Party's Over but The Celebration Has Just Begun, published in March.

Lisa, thanks for letting us know and for supplying the link. I look forward to reading your book. It sounds gripping as well as full of hope.
DeleteBless you as you use your words and writing to bless others with your message.
Linda
Thanks for the information! This looks like a great opportunity for all writers. Hmmmmm.... Now I need to consider if I should enter or not. I know I don't have anything ready yet. Do I have the time to finish my novel in 3 months time?
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, Victoria. Three months to finish your novel! You can do it with help from God, good editors, friends..... Keep us posted, especially if you do submit your manuscript to the contest.
DeleteBless you, sweet Victoria! :)
Linda
Linda, doesn't this sound exciting? Timing isn't right for me this year, but I keep my eye on the prize(s) and the deadline(s) as motivation! Thanks for posting this info.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sherrey
Hi, Sherrey, the timing isn't right for me this year either but, like you, I like to keep such opportunities in the back of my mind to help prepare me mentally for when the time is right.
DeleteA while back I submitted a vignette for an anthology Dena Dyer is publishing (Dena works with The High Calling) and I got word the editors chose my story for inclusion. It will be published in February. Every once in a while, an opportunity and the timing work out just right!
Thanks for stopping by, Sherrey.
Linda
That sounds so exciting! Are you going to enter, Linda?! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Jennifer, thanks for stopping by. I found your blog only 3 days ago and subscribed. It's lovely, and I especially appreciate your heart for God. And then there's your poetic eloquence, and then there's your art.... Oh, my. I'm so glad I found your blog.
DeleteYou asked if I'm going to submit something for the Women of Faith writing contest. The timing is not right for me, but I recently learned a story of mine will be published in an anthology Dena Dyer has been pulling together.
What about you, Jennifer? Will you submit something for the contest? I hope so!
Thanks again for stopping by.
Linda
