Edie here. Today I'm really excited to introduce the newest team member here on The Write Conversation, Katy Kauffman. I've known Katy for several years and watched her blossom into an amazing writer. Her specialty is Bible studies, and her current book is FAITH, COURAGE AND VICTORY; The Stories, struggles, and triumphs of 24 Characters of the Bible. I know you'll want to join me in welcoming her to our community!
Blogging for the Bible Study Writer
By Katy Kauffman @KatyKauffman28
I sat nervously in
James Rubart’s marketing class and wanted to raise my hand. At the 2010 Blue
Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, Jim wanted to show us how to create
a blog, using someone in the class as a guinea pig. So he asked for a
volunteer. I knew that if I ever wanted to start a blog, it needed to be then,
and with his help. But I hesitated, and another lady volunteered.
Disappointed,
I watched as he tried to sign into Google (which owns Blogger) with her
username and password. It didn’t work. When he asked for another volunteer, my
hand shot up, and so my adventures in blogging began.
Blogging once a week
or more can seem like a daunting task. Especially for the Bible study writer.
Our focus is sharing messages of hope and encouragement from the Word of God,
and that requires some study time. Plus, blogging takes time away from writing
books. So why is it worth it?
