A few months ago, I wrote a couple of posts on writing a book proposal and several of you mentioned you are on your own book writing journey. If you are interested in learning more about the publishing process, how to write a book or book proposal, how to pitch to an editor, how to write a magazine article or ways to promote the books you’ve already published, then perhaps you would be interested in attending She Speaks this summer.

Maybe you already have a book proposal and would like to meet with an editor or agent. Representatives from Zondervan, Revell Books, Harvest House, Randall House and others will be there to accept appointments. Or if writing isn’t your thing, maybe you lead a women’s ministry at your church or you believe perhaps you have been called to teach or to speak. This conference could be the perfect place to come to hear out loud what the Lord has already been whispering to your heart.  It would especially be worth it if you could come for free.

All you have to do is write a post on your blog about why you would like to attend She Speaks. (If you don’t have a blog, you can enter over email). Then on Monday, Lysa will be hosting a linky for you to link up to the post you’ve written. I wanted to get this out over the weekend so you would have a chance to work on your post in time for Monday. I hope you win! And I hope to meet you at She Speaks.

Piano was my major when I first went to college. Before you get the wrong idea, it was not at a school known for its piano prodigies. I didn’t have to try out or take a music theory test or send in an audition video to get in. I simply declared it, and it was. For a while.

It wasn’t long before I realized how very much practice was expected of piano majors. The bottom line was that I didn’t love it enough to get better.

Now I’m writing. And writing. And writing. I have designated writing days marked off on the calendar. On those days, after getting the kids off to school, I head to my chair and I sit. I never know what is going to come out.

Writing this book is humbling, overwhelming and even a little bit lonely. I pray. I think. I procrastinate. Sometimes I cry. But before the time is over, I write. And something always happens, because I love it enough to get better.

So this is me, saying hello from beneath the weight of a deadline. And thank you for your kind support.
