Make it an hourly practice to bond your work and your walk—so said Davis Bunn at the recent Christian Writers Guild Conference. For me, writing is a walk of faith.  Faith is something that must be worked out with fear and trembling.

In my quest for publication I’m putting my social media ducks in order and learning about the publishing business. I highly recommend a subscription to Publishers Weekly. PW appears on my Nook every Monday. In addition to hard data I find nuggets of inspiration. This week it came from Peter Brantley, author of Drag; Drop; Read.

Sometimes, words are the most God-filled thing we can offer. Written language provides us an accessible threshold for communicating among human beings who can imagine more than they can understand.

Each step of the process has been fearful. That’s exactly how many of us approach the business side of writing. Brantley says that technology will give us new canvases, brushes and palettes to craft different kinds of stories. Are we up for that?
