Why Writers Need to Keep an Open Mind
by Crystal BowmanI have heard writers say, “I will only write something if it’s my idea.” Well, that’s fine if you plan on self-publishing. However, if you want to work with a publisher, either traditional or independent, a writer needs to be open to direction, critique, and even a different idea.I self-published my first book which was my idea.

Embracing God, Exploring CreativitySoul Care When You’re Grieving
By Edie Melson
Grief is difficult. We all experience it—and we experience it differently. There is no right or wrong way to face loss, yet many of us feel we could be coping better. Going through loss narrows my world. I used to believe that was my personal experience, but I’ve discovered that limited perspective happens to us all. I’m praying this book helps you break down the barriers created by grief and helps you engage with the world around you.
Each chapter contains devotions, prayers and creative exercises. The chapters are designated by the opposite of one of the five experiences of grief. It’s far too easy to be tied to the common misconceptions about grief, so by reframing them, we give ourselves more grace as we process loss. Most of all, I pray you learn to embrace your own process of grief and quit judging whether you’re handling things the way they should be handled. God designed each of us uniquely, and that blueprint includes the way we process loss.
