Writing Tip:

I think one of the things that has meant the most to me in my writing came from a writers’ conference I attended. Kristen Heitzmann was speaking, and she mentioned she is not a plotter. This meant a lot to me because every other conference I attended preached the necessity of planning out every detail before writing, knowing the characters and their backstories from the start, and things like that. I felt like this was the first time I was not only given permission but encouraged to write the way I write instead of trying to write like everyone else.

 

That’s great! You have to write in a way that works for you.  I’ve heard other authors say they are either a panster {“flies by the seat of their pants”} or plotter, but I feel like I’m both! I like to plot, but once I get my basic ideas and such, I like to let the characters take over. 

Favorite Writing Tip for New Writers: 

Always keep learning. There is always some area of your writing that can improve.

So true! Learn new ways to do things, and improve your writing by reading other authors and books written about the craft.

As a preacher’s kid from Southern Illinois, Heather was well acquainted with ministry life in a small town before her husband became a pastor fifteen years ago. She started serving in youth and children’s ministries when her daughter was still a child. Now, those ministries and wrangling the schedules of her three teenage boys takes a lot of her time and energy, but Heather still tries to carve out a little time for herself to read a good book, bake, or occasionally binge watch her favorite television shows.

Heather has a heart to see women of faith encouraged and growing in their relationships with God. As believers grow closer to God and begin living out His truths in everyday life, others will see their need for the Savior and long for relationship with Him. It is Heather’s prayer that God will use her love of writing to foster this encouragement and growth in the lives of Christian women.
