Famed Author of On Writing Well, William Zinsser said it best: “Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard.” To support the aspiring writer, the weary writer, and the totally discouraged writer - the nine women of Living Write Texas will release: The Write Calling: Encouragement for the Writer’s Heart. These gals know from experience the ups and downs of life at the keyboards. Collectively we have written for a total of 128 years. Among our endeavors: 21 books, hundreds of blog posts, newsletters, magazine and newspaper articles, stage plays, and even a songwriter of 30 years. Our fair share of grins and grief were included in the process. Our goal for this book is simple: to support Christian writers at all levels to actively pursue the mission they believe God calls them to fulfill. To encourage, educate, and engage aspiring authors in the process of transferring the words they carry in their heart to the written page. From Elk Lake Publishing.

The book's precept is simple: conflict is not the real problem; it's how we handle the conflict that becomes the problem. It can be very negative, damaging. OR it can be the process that leads to discovery, breeding openness and authentic intimacy.
