Give it Meaning
Make it Personal
by Scott M. Sandridge

 
The #1 reason that keeps you from sitting butt to chair and writing is simply that, for one reason or another, you just don’t care what you’re writing about. So, if you’re having trouble writing your story, i.e. Ye Olde “Writer’s Block,” then ask yourself if the story matters to you personally. If it doesn’t then find something in it that will make it matter.


Inside the Writing Mind
Revisiting Mary E. DeMuth, Relevant Girl
by Rochita Loenen-Ruiz

 
Mary E. DeMuth, is one of the first authors I was privileged to interview soon after Inside the Writing Mind came into being.  

Since that first interview, Mary has had two more books published.  Building the Christian Family You Never Had, which is at once a memoir as well as an encouraging guide book for parents who grew up in non-believing homes, and  Watching the Tree Limbs, her first published novel which is enjoying well-deserved praise and has been consistently listed as a recommended read by various critics.

Inside the Writing Mind went back to interview this woman whose transparency and generosity with her words and with her life has become a source of encouragement to many.
