Makes us feel more "normal", and can help to get our eyes off ourselves. Yes QQ is a great group - good friends and inspirational writers. I have only recently joined CWDU, but am enjoying my contact with other members. Maybe we will meet at a future conference.........Janelle Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489605683389155405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-26667406065779121952015-11-10T09:23:20.077+10:002015-11-10T09:23:20.077+10:00Thanks Pam - yet another great and inspirational Q...Thanks Pam - yet another great and inspirational Quirky Quill!

But it's so encouraging to have friends who 0give you a push when needed. Quirky Quills must be a great group to belong to. And this CWDU group is also a place where we all share and learn together.<br /><br />Now you've been inspired, keep working on those devotionals and whatever the lord prompts you to do.

So am very glad you will be there at the next one too. Hooray! Great blog and wonderful to hear what God's been doing in you during and after the conference. I look forward to reading your devotional book one day.

I think most writers are secretly afraid that what they have to offer is far from 'good enough.' To hear about your conference experience is really encouraging and edifying ... and not just for you, but for me also ... and I'm sure there are many others too. I hope to join you at next year's conference and look forward to seeing your devotional book on my coffee table.

Am so pleased the nagging has paid off ;) It's great to see how God spoke to you at the conference and that you've resolved to follow Him and not the lies of the enemy. And those lies don't just afflict beginning writers. Seasoned professionals with many books under their belt also go through times when they don't think they can write or that people wouldn't want to listen to what they have to say. Thanks for the reminder that we need to listen to God's voice an not the lies of the enemy. I'll be first in line to buy your devotional book.
