For this month's post, I wanted to share a few pearls of writing wisdom I
discovered while exploring Twitter. I was stuck on a plane, headed to Florida
in the midst of a massive Michigan snowstorm. As techs de-iced our plane and
plows cleared the runways, I wandered through cyberspace and came upon a
Twitterspace called Writing & Editing ( @WrtrStat ). I hope you enjoy the encouragement as much as I did, and I highly recommend throwing Writing & Editing a follow! Let me know which ones hit home with you, or inspire your journey - I'd love to compare notes!
And finally, for giggles, let's discuss edit marks!!!

Every saint has a past…and every sinner has a future
Country
music bad boy Chase Bradington is on the comeback trail. Fresh from rehab for
alcohol addiction, and transformed by the power of Christ, Chase is battling to
rediscover the music he loves and a career he nearly ruined. Then he meets up
and comer, Pyper Brock, and instantly sparks ignite.
Pyper knows
of Chase’s reputation, so despite a rampant attraction to the handsome and
talented icon, she soundly dismisses his romantic overtures. Decades ago, her
father, in a drunken rage, tossed her and her mother onto the streets. No way
will Pyper make the mistake of falling for a man whose done battle with the
bottle.
What happens
when Chase’s quest to win Pyper’s love breaks down chains of resentment and
eases the long buried wounds of her childhood? And what happens when Pyper’s father
shows up in Nashville, clean, sober and seeking a chance to apologize?
Can Pyper
follow a pathway to peace when it comes to her father? Can she fully trust
Chase? Above all, can a sin damaged past be released in favor of forgiveness?
