Writing Your Story
Sunday afternoon at 4:45 join us in Assembly Room 1 for a seminar on "Writing Your Story." This practical one hour session will help you get started writing your short story for a devotional book we plan to publish for 2013. We'll help you determine the story you want to share, and get you started telling it in a small group. We will offer tips on making your story "fit" into about 400 words, as well as some ideas on creativity and other practical tips on writing. You will leave the seminar ready to put your story on paper for submission by September 30. Together we hope to have 365 stories ready for the new year.
