My friend Susan Starrett wrote this slam poetry about sexual abuse of young hockey players. Read it, be healed, pass it on….
Let a child know they are not alone. Someone listens and cares…
I travelled to my first writer’s conference through fear and trepidation into expectation. What is my niche? Why would anyone want to read any of my stuff? Why would I even want to write it? The writers gathered there loved the conference but I came away more fearful than ever.
Fears that I wouldn’t be able to follow through on my personal commitments, that maybe after all, I’m only a mediocre writer; fears that I’d never measure up to my own standards, let alone those of others.
I dared myself to take bigger bites out of life; spent more time hanging out at the computer keys, started a novel, tried a short story or two.
I persevered, moved forward, started a blog, and even opened a twitter account. To my great delight, in no time at all, I sold my first piece via the internet. I started to describe myself as Writer.
Now, I dare to enter this contest, http://youareawriter.com/contest/
because I found a voice and it is mine.

Welcome to the 1st John 3:16 Giveaway Blog Hop! As one of the members of this great network of Christian Authors, I am excited to participate in this event! We have come together this week to showcase our books and to give you, our readers, a chance to win some great prizes as you “hop” from blog to blog. A different prize is offered at each blog site (no purchase necessary), however if you want to have a chance to win one of two Kindles the network is giving away, the only requirement is that you sign up for the John 3:16 ezine newsletter. (Located at the top right side column of the John 3:16 blog site.)
(See official rules here.)
At the other blogs, each author will require that you leave a comment (and a valid email address) so they may contact you if you win a prize offered on their blog site.
May I also suggest that you show your love and appreciation to each blog host by either following them on Twitter, or “liking” them on Facebook or even subscribing to their blog. It won’t help your odds of winning a prize but I know each author would be thrilled and very encouraged!

Blog Hop Participants:
I’m editing it and it hurts just as if I was writing it for the first time….
Does grief ever go away? I don’t think so…
Does it become a little less raw? Maybe….
Does God still comfort and console? Of course..else He wouldn.t be God.
