Improve Your Writing with AI (Artificial Intelligence!) By James R. Coggins

Sprinting in Faith by Nancy J. Farrier
Writing is often a solitary business. You have your writing area, usually away from people or things that might distract—such as cute cat videos or a good book to read. When you are on your own, it’s often easy to … Continue reading
Viewer Discretion Is Advised by James R. Coggins
When you’re watching television, have you ever encountered a warning such as this: “This program contains violence, coarse language, nudity, and mature subject matter. It may not be suitable for all ages. Viewer discretion is advised”? Of course, you have. … Continue reading
I Have a Website by James R. Coggins
I have a website (www.coggins.ca). It’s not new. It’s old and obsolete. Like me. I had it set up years ago as an advertising venture, hoping it might bring me writing, editing, and speaking assignments. It has. To some extent. … Continue reading

Implementing Changes by Julie Arduini
I didn’t set any high goals for 2024, I figured I’d go with my word for the year, Illuminate, pray, and see where the Lord takes me. It’s still early in the year but I thought I’d share a little … Continue reading
The Legacy of the Pen by James R. Coggins
My seven-year-old grandson was given a pen as a reward for some achievement at school. He put it into his shirt pocket because he thought it made him “look like Grandpa.” I was flattered. But it brought back memories. Many … Continue reading
Writers and Editors by James R. Coggins
Writers write. Writers write because they can’t not write. They are so overflowing with ideas and stories that they just have to write them down and share them. If they don’t, they feel as if they will burst. I began … Continue reading
The Brilliance of WandaVision by Julie Arduini
I never thought I’d turn into a Marvel nerd, but here I am. I grew up on the DC movies and cartoons, so I didn’t even realize another comic book movie world existed. Until my son grew up. Thanks to … Continue reading

In All Things Give Thanks by Julie Arduini
When I write, anything from an email or a manuscript, I say a little prayer that God would give me the words. The other day I was responding to an email and I asked for words that would be just … Continue reading
A Manifesto for Christian Writers
I have sometimes considered Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 to be “a manifesto for Christian writers.” Verses 9-11 (from the New International Version) describe what a writer should do: • “The Teacher [was] wise.” This is the first qualification of a writer. It … Continue reading

Life’s Curveballs by Julie Arduini
Julie’s note: As only God can, as soon as this post first appeared at Inspy Romance, He threw a major curveball that I’m still working through. While I do, I thought I’d share this with you. *** When it comes … Continue reading

Plotters and Pantsers
A Christian novelists group I belong to recently had a discussion about how to write a novel—which essentially boiled down to a debate between plotters and pantsers. Plotters outline the full book before starting to write. Pantsers write “by the … Continue reading
As Many as it Takes by Julie Arduini
As I’ve shared before, during this time at home I’ve been using a Bible in a year reading plan with a new Bible. I’ve nearly worn out a new set of highlighters and have been floored by revelations that were … Continue reading
Word of the Year Tizzy by Julie Arduini
Happy New Year! I’m one of those people who spends way too much time looking at memes and there were two that left me speechless. The one that said the 1990’s were 30 years ago. I get my son was … Continue reading
Finding Our Calling
I have a young grandson who is having trouble deciding what he wants to be when he grows up. He keeps encountering new occupations and changing his mind. When he started school, he decided he wanted to be a principal. … Continue reading
