by Sarah Sally Hamer @SarahSallyHamer

Writing from the Comfort You Have Received
by Audrey Frank @AudreyCFrank
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
Each month, we tuck a bit of money back into our savings account. It’s automatic and has been a great help in times of need.
God’s comfort is much like our savings account. When we turn to Him in our struggles, when we trust His promises during suffering, He comforts us. What we may not realize is that in the process, we are accruing a surplus for a later time of need.
But unlike my bank savings account, God’s comfort account is intended for others. Hurting people who will come into my life needing the comfort God once gave me.
You see, what we receive from God is not only for our good but for the good of humanity.
As writers, we have a long reach into the world.

Make the Characters You Create Come to Life
by Tim Suddeth @TimSuddeth
Bob Newhart. Dick Van Dyke. Lucille Ball.
Each of these were real persons. And many of us feel like they are our long-time friends because we’ve watched their shows on TV and in the ubiquitous reruns for decades, right?
But Bob Newhart didn’t really run a bed-and-breakfast, did he? And I am sure, when Mr. Van Dyke took his wife out to dinner, he really wasn’t taking out Mary Tyler Moore. Although I have to admit, that would be who I’d expect to meet.
And Lucy? (Makes you smile just thinking about her, doesn’t it?) Well, it does seem that Ethel was a real friend to her. Only her name wasn’t Ethel, it was Vivian. In fact, when Lucy did a new series in the 60s, Vivian Vance agreed to come back but only if they changed her name.

Find Your Writing Community
by A.C. Williams @ACW_Author
Writing is a solitary career. Sure, you can participate in critique groups and collaborative projects, but when it comes right down to actually putting words on a page, we write alone. That’s why one of the most important elements of a successful writing career is belonging to a writing community.

Writer, Get Out of Your Chair!
Wait? What? That’s not right, is it?
This is a site for writers. Writers write.
BICHOK, right? (That’s Butt in Chair Hands on Keyboard).
Oh, this must be an April Fool’s Joke, right?
Sadly.
No.
