2019 Write to Publish provided wonderful connection and information. In my opinion this was the most enlightening conference that I have ever attended. My focus this year—to learn as much as possible about Social Media. The teachers were professional and skilled and quite patient with us. Michelle Rayburn, I’m thinking about how you helped me right now! Many thanks.
If anyone is interested in learning about the business of writing, how to write, and meeting those who enjoy assisting others to hone their skills, then this is your go-to conference. I wish to extend special thanks to Lin Johnson and her right-hand lady Jane Rubietta for their tireless work and sacrifices so that others can learn and grow their skill sets and take advantage of opportunities to meet agents and editors as well as numerous writers who understand that need to express thoughts and stories. Also, I'm so grateful for the numerous writer friends from the past and of course the new ones too! You all make the conference shine for me!

WELCOME TO PENS OF PRAISE CHRISTIAN WRITERS GROUP
Tuesday, June 18, 2019 Introductions for new guests. Pass around sign in sheet. Devotion—by Pat Klein LET THE TEACHING BEGIN The Page-Turner’s “Secret Formula”, How to Write a Book That’s Hard to Put Down. Sarah Grosskopf will lead us into the mysterious hook that makes a novel a must read. PROMPT: Varying Tension Imagine that tension or excitement falls on a scale from 1 (dead boring) to 5 (edge of your seat exciting). While writing, you have a “tension meter” that goes from 1 to 5. Write a five-line poem or five-sentence story with each sentence set at a different level of tension, following the pattern 3-2-1-4-5. If time allows, we will also allow 5-minute readings from our writers as time allows at the end of the teaching.

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.
