Re: Be a Better Writer--Writing on topic
I was so excited when I learned that you were going to go through the judging criteria for the writing challenge. Being new to this, I just don't have a feel for which entries are going to do well and which will do poorly. I ordered two feedback reports from Deb and found them incredibly helpful and...

Re: Be a Better Writer--Devotionals
Thank you so much for your feedback, Jan! I really didn't know if I was on the right track at all. The truth is that I don't enjoy reading devotionals in the standard format, and I think that your suggestions are right on for making a devotional that will speak to people. I don't think I'll bother s...

Re: Be a Better Writer--Devotionals
Hi, Jan,
I saw the link to the devotional in FaithWriters January newsletter. I don't believe that it is a contest. The submission guidelines are here: FaithWriters Great Multitude Christian Daily Devotional

Re: Be a Better Writer--Devotionals
Jan, I'm so sorry to hear that you're sick! I hope you get well soon. I was really blessed by your devotional. The imagery at the beginning was incredibly vivid and powerful. What you wrote about people skipping over scriptures that are at the beginning is so true. I am often guilty of that myself. ...

Re: 2014 Page Turner Entry Tally
Yay!!! I'm already so excited! The countdown begins.
Why didn't I find FaithWriters 10 years ago? I guess I didn't own a computer then, so it wouldn't have done me much good.

Re: Jan's New Writing Lessons--TIGHT WRITING
Hi, Jan! This was a great lesson! There have been many times that I have groaned when I checked my word count, but every time that I have had to cut words, it has improved my writing. I did read through the entire thread, so my apologies if I have inadvertently stolen anyone's thoughts, words, or ph...

Re: Principle Parts of a Verb - And How to Use Them Properly
Thanks, Shann! Much of this seems over my head. I think I need to take a grammar course. Does anyone know of a good online course?

Re: Be a Better Writer--WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?
Hi Jan, I have a question related to the greeting. Shouldn't it be: "Hi, Jan," because I'm directly addressing you? It looks very stuffy though. Another question: I am writing an entry for the writing challenge this week and the piece that came to me is a non-fiction article. All the chall...

Great advice, Jan! I really appreciate your how you pointed out that we all learn in different ways. I really want to learn to write well, and I can see myself taking some writing advice too far that doesn't work for me and ending up frustrated. Thank you also for your recommendation to get professi...
