Photo Taken at the Florida Christian Writers Conference 2017 (Thanks to Tez Brooks for the pic!) Here's the Original - I cropped out Tez and Dan Walsh :-)  |
It is with fond memories that I write this post. In October of this year, it would have been six years since I started writing for SW. My face becoming part of that box on the home page labeled “Regular Contributors” was a fluke, of sorts, actually. I was asked by Dawn Kinzer, one of the hostesses if I would be willing to write a post for “Fortifying Fridays.” I interpreted that invitation —wrongly…or maybe it was rightly—to be a monthly gig and not just a one-time stint. I think Dawn hated to commit to me for that long (not knowing me well at all, really), but she did. I remember her stating that they had just lost a male writer, and the team wanted to continue to have a male voice amongst their stable of writers, so she took my “misunderstanding” as a prompting from God.

(A FOOTNOTE: Becoming a writer has been so rewording. Beyond the published books. Beyond the royalty checks. Beyond the 5-star reviews. It's the new friends I've made who have become some of my best ones. Here at SW. In the CAN group. IN Word Weavers. At the writers conferences. Our common interests, coupled with our common rejections, our common successes, and our common, everyday frustrations makes places like writers conferences and these other groups great places to not only network, but to encourage, vent, uplift, pray for, and find support. Even though I am stepping away from SW for now, it is only because I wish to spend more time in writing and more time with God. Thanks to all my fans and readers who have stopped by every fourth Friday to "see what Kevin's written this month." It's been a blast!)
