Daily Progress
I have a friend who set a daily writing goal of 1,000 words per day. For her that means fiction writing, so a blog post like this wouldn’t count, or any other social networking writing. A thousand words per day … Continue reading
Surviving hibernation with a good book!
Our yard has pretty much looked like this all winter . . . which means the roads are often slick and the temps are below freezing. I end up staying home whenever possible. This might be torture for some, but … Continue reading
Merry Christmas!
For our Christmas service, my pastor reminded us of Jesus’ uncle whose name was Zacharias. He was an old and godly man, but without children. One day the angel Gabriel came to him with the news that his wife Elizabeth … Continue reading
Christmas Season Memories
The Christmas season is in full swing, and we all know how quickly it goes. This year it seems especially fast, and as always it’s filled with activities demanding our attention. It’s easy just to mark off those days until … Continue reading

Happy Thanksgiving!
Anyone who went through grade school in this country has probably heard about America’s first Thanksgiving: Pilgrims and Indians sharing a three day feast over the pilgrim’s first bountiful harvest. What I didn’t know until hearing it on the radio … Continue reading
Audio Books
I must admit I used to have mixed feelings about audio books. Most of my own titles have been contracted as audios, which was nice, especially since when I listened to snippets I thought they did a terrific job. But … Continue reading
Every Picture Tells a Story
My grandfather fought in the First World War. He trained in New York and was transported in 1918 on the USS Magnolia. Eventually he was assigned to the Signal Corps, and brought home photographs of his unit and the scenes … Continue reading
Are You A Patient Reader?
Recently I participated in a group discussion between writers, which also means I was talking to avid readers since more often than not you can’t be one without being the other. We were discussing some of the expectations and differences … Continue reading

Writers and Their Ilk by Maureen Lang
This past weekend a few of us here at Christians Read attended the American Christian Fiction Writers conference in Indianapolis. It’s hard to describe the blessing of being in a room (a crowded room!) filled not only with others who … Continue reading
Times change but do people?
The other day I was struck by all of the changes I’ve lived through. When I first started writing professionally, I typed my manuscripts with a carbon paper copy underneath the top page. In an effort to send the cleanest … Continue reading
Death by a Thousand Cuts by Maureen Lang
Okay, the title of this blog post may be a slight (no, huge) exaggeration to describe my last couple of weeks, but hey, being a writer I’m drawn to the dramatic. It all started with my family vacation to Nashville. … Continue reading
Conflict . . . only better! by Maureen Lang
Certain genres expect to use a certain kind of conflict. Romance novels aren’t so much about the happy ending (which everyone knows will happen) as the vehicle the author uses to keep the hero and heroine apart until that happy … Continue reading

Names!
I was having breakfast in Shipshewana, Indiana when I heard the news about Britain’s newest royal. Another woman, a stranger to me, entered the communal dining room just as the television report came to an end, but she heard enough … Continue reading

Can A Book Change You?
This past week, by coincidence, I happened to visit two different sources talking about whether or not a book can really change a person. My first, gut reaction was: Of course a book can change a person! Isn’t that the … Continue reading

Last night in a dream . . . by Maureen Lang
Every day, I receive in my email inbox a lovely, colorful, compelling, or fascinating photo enhanced by a Bible verse. Although I set aside time to read the Scripture on a daily basis, this is one email I always, always … Continue reading
