In addition to being the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, today is Letter Writing Day. Life can change drastically in a single day. Write more letters. #amwriting #inspirationalfiction on #letterwritingday

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

I have Stage IV pancreatic cancer. But it is endlessly comforting to have a God who is both infinitely more wise and more loving than I am. He has plenty of good reasons for everything he does and allows that I cannot know, and therein is my hope and strength.

Today is the birthday of Louisa May Alcott. And C.S. Lewis. And Madeleine L'Engle. And me. While I may not be on the level of Alcott, Lewis, or L'Engle, I am still happy to be in the Nov. 29 birthday writer's club. #amwriting #inspirationfiction with #mybirthdayclub

@LeanneWSmith's latest novel, Alone in a Cabin, released in July. In addition to writing, Smith teaches in the College of Business at Lipscomb University in Nashville. "I teach students how to get jobs. God has richly blessed me through the equipping and blessing of others."

Happy Birthday to F. Scott Fitzgerald. When I first read The Great Gatsby in high school, it blew my mind. A green light blinking across the water. Those glasses on T.J. Eckleburg. Well done, F. Scott. #amwriting #inspirationalfiction inspired by #fscottfitzgerald

“We spend a lot of time with our oars in the water. Every now and then—exquisite and brief—we find our rhythm. And for that moment we are perfectly in tune with all that’s shining in the universe.” https://t.co/zJYkzWkOAq #amwriting #amreading #inspirationalfiction

“Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the origins of stories in Big Magic. She suggests that ideas may not wait on you if you ignore them for too long. Thankfully, my stories have been longsuffering.” Leanne W. Smith: https://t.co/zJYkzWkOAq #amwriting #amreading #inspirationalfiction
