Goals and reflections.

Be kind. Everyday.

Tons of writing stuff happens all around us!

How can you give back? How can you use your gifts the Lord has given you to support a local, state, or national organization that needs help spreading awareness, education, Hope, resources, and healing?

Wow! That’s a lot of mess that needed to be gone! I’m proud of myself!

I challenge you to make a list of the top five most beloved authors in your genre. What's popular? What's out there being discussed?  1. Make a list of your top five authors to investigate.  2. Review the author's bio. Watch YouTube interviews.  3. Make a list of their books. Start reading based on the most well-known titles.  4. Ask a friend to read with you. Discuss. Take notes.

I challenge you to do this today!

I challenge you to listen to the podcast or watch the YouTube video to see the loveliness of Kate DiCamillo. Then, live in Kate’s novels for awhile and see how they change you.

What a blessing and honor it was to spend time with Kate DiCamillo, the author of some of my most beloved children's literature of all time. If you have a moment or an hour to spare, I ask for you to join in and listen to our conversation about writing, books, and the power of honoring our gifts. I challenge you today to live in Kate's worlds and read her phenomenal collection of children's work that will change your author life! I began with Raymie Nightingale, then the very next day made it to Louisiana's Way Home, to finish up the series with Beverly, Right Here completely taken by these characters, their lives, and the heartbeats of each one. I moved to The Tale of Despereaux, then Bink & Gollie, Mercy Watson, Leroy Ninker Saddles Up, and landed on home plate with Because of Winn-Dixie. The love I have for these books will forever be in my heart and on my lips, praising how much heartbreak, heartbeats, and hope can come from the pages within novels that truly matter to us all and can be found right here with Kate DiCamillo. Look no further. My heart is full.  To watch the YouTube interview - please click here: https://youtu.be/LqsJUAdSYQQ   Website: https://www.katedicamillo.com/ https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kate+dicamillo&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KateDiCamillo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/katedicamillo/ To connect with me, email at jenlowrywrites@gmail.com and find my books online at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jen+lowry&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Website: https://jenlowrywrites.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jenlowrywrites/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenlowrywrites/
