 It was wonderful to meet and greet and share at our Pen’s meeting on January 18th. We had a couple of months off, but hey, writers can’t stay apart for long. The return meeting was excellent. Rebecca McLafferty and Susan Marlene shared a lesson. The nights highlight was Rebecca’s handouts via email since we enjoyed a Jitsi online meeting and her enthusiastic sharing of publishing possibilities!
Some shared their current projects with our group, and that is always an encouraging time and inspiring! Susan spoke about character development and then put us all to work. We had to write a short outline or story—very rough draft—to practice our new insights. Everyone did a fabulous job. Especially when asked to do so with such short notice. Hurrah to all of those who kindly participated! We may have a new location to meet. We will keep you posted on any developments for our future meetings. Mega blessings in Him, Sue

Words are not just words. They are thoughts and inspiration that have been behind every relationship and every deed--good or bad throughout time. If you have that burning desire to communicate and explore, come peruse my pages, teachings, and short stories. Allow inspiration to anchor your dreams on the written pages of memoirs, devotions, poems, or stories, both short or long! Luxuriate in the creativity you were born to share! Sarah Grosskopf is a beta reader, writer, and copywriter extraordinaire! I highly recommend Sarah and have known her for years. She has taught and encouraged Pens of Praise members with her humor, instinct, and highly praised skill sets. So you may consider this an invitation to discover details about Sarah Grosskopf.
