And you will
know the truth and the truth will make you free. John 8:32
Now I have to
confess, usually I can only take so much TRUTH when it comes to my writing.
And as exciting as writing conferences are, there tends to be—in my humble
opinion—a surfeit of truth going on there.
Everyone you meet
has an opinion, especially when it comes to your writing and how it should be
fixed. Add to that the late nights, adrenalin rush of meetings, and a schedule
jam packed with classes and you have a recipe for emotional disaster.
I found myself on
that very roller the first ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) conference
I attended in 2009. Luckily it wasn’t my first big conference, but it was by
far the largest I’d ever attended.
