(Tricia and Robin Jones Gunn, at our joint booksigning.) Last week, I was going through my bookshelf, looking for a new journal (I’d filled up my old one), when I found one dating back to 1998. The beginning of the notebook had notes from the Mount Hermon writing conference. I was amazing how the notes… [Continue Reading]

Don’t you hate it when God points out an area of your life in which you’ve been prideful? He does it, of course, by helping you understand “the other side.” I used to be that way about deadlines. Before this month, I had been queen-of-pleasing-my-editors-and-meeting-all-my-deadlines. My manuscript was in the email the day my project… [Continue Reading]

I have a confession to make . . . (Okay, to do this right we have to imagine ourselves sitting in a circle of chairs and sipping on too-strong coffee.) I am addicted to story–the actual creation of worlds, and characters, and ideas in my mind.I have three or four good ideas a day. Or… [Continue Reading]

I had to laugh as I talked on the phone with my dear friend yesterday. Before I tell you our conversation, I have to tell you about my friend Tara. We met seven years ago when our husband’s worked together, and we have boys the same age. If her son isn’t here, than mine is… [Continue Reading]

For you writers out there . . . have you… [Continue Reading]

Daring to go where no blog has gone before . . . it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s a BLOG tour! Yes, I know, I just got back it town, but I’m leaving again tomorrow for a mini writer’s retreat. (The time is short, not necessarily the people.) I’m so looking forward to… [Continue Reading]

Today’s guest blogger is Cynthia Ruchti. I loved her “dialogue with God” so much I asked if I could post it. Cynthia’s web address is www.heartbeatofthehome.org and my blog is http://splashinginthedeepend.blogspot.com God said, “Child, I’d like to hire you to work for Me. Writing.” And I said, “Cool! That’s what I always wanted to do.”… [Continue Reading]

Tricia, Boston 2006 Recently, I was asked on an on-line interview how my life has changed since having these books published. That really got me thinking. I do spend a lot of time writing . . . but I did that as I was seeking publication. I also have publishers contacting me with book projects,… [Continue Reading]

Me at ICRS standing in front of an advertisement of my next book due out in January . . . yes, the one I’m finishing up! Alan Jackson sings Remember When . . . and it’s appropriate for today. After all, it’s not everyday one turns 35! Birthdays have a way of making you remember…. [Continue Reading]
