I didn\u2019t blog. But I have a note from the teacher. Her name is Debbie.<\/p>\n<p>I was in Vero Beach, Florida, helping Amy Wong and Rick Hamlin teach one of our <em>Guideposts<\/em> \u201cmini-workshops.\u201d What are they? I\u2019ll explain.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you know, every two years <em>Guideposts<\/em> holds an inspirational writing contest. I hate calling it a contest because it implies losers and winners and almost everyone who enters has something important and brave and honest to say in their story. <\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t award everyone with an all-expenses paid trip to our week-long writing boot camp in Rye, New York, in an old mansion on the Long Island Sound. So we whittle the thousands of entrants down to 15 or so (by the way, every new editor hired at <em>Guideposts<\/em> is required to go through the workshop, me included way back in\u2026well, never mind).<\/p>\n<p>Then we spend the week working hard on teaching and learning the art of powerful, first-person, inspirational storytelling. Most attendees\u2014I\u2019m still avoiding using the word winner\u2014say the experience changed their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/inspirational-stories\/a-husbands-faith-bolsters-a-writers-dream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>READ MORE: A HUSBAND\u2019S FAITH BOLSTERS A WRITER\u2019S DREAM<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many of them become regular contributors to the family of <em>Guideposts<\/em> publications. In fact, we think of our workshoppers as family, our far-flung eyes and ears across the country looking for the people and the stories you tell us you love.<\/p>\n<p>If it weren\u2019t for the workshoppers, we wouldn\u2019t have those wonderful narrators you relate to so deeply. In fact, in the August issue we have six pieces originated by workshoppers, ranging in age from 32 to 95! That blows me away.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, in between the big biennial workshops, we have these periodic mini-workshop weekends for the writers who have gone through the Rye boot camp and are working on promising manuscripts. This past weekend we got together with a dozen of our workshop friends at a little resort in Vero Beach, Florida. That\u2019s what I was doing instead of writing a blog.<\/p>\n<p>So who\u2019s Debbie? Debbie is beloved best-selling romance novelist and Christian writer Debbie Macomber, whose generosity makes the workshop program possible. She joined us for dinner Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. In addition to being an incredibly popular author and <em>Daily Guideposts<\/em> devotional writer, Debbie is also a very funny speaker.    <\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s my excuse. What\u2019s yours? <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/inspiration\/inspirational-stories\/debbie-macombers-spiritual-bond-with-her-readers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>READ MORE: DEBBIE MACOMBER\u2019S SPIRITUAL BOND WITH HER READERS<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have a writers workshop contest this year (only in even-numbered years) but at exactly this time next year we will be reading the story submissions for the 2016 Writers Workshop held in that old mansion I told you about.<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t you see yourself making the trip to Rye on the wings of a true, personal story of faith in action? Dr. Peale always said to <em>visualize<\/em>. Visualize yourself winning the contest. Whoops. There, I said it. But you know something? You\u2019re a winner just by trying. So get started. Please. We need you.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Millie update: she\u2019s doing really well and is now on an experimental cancer treatment using a substance\u2014a peptide\u2014derived from a mushroom. I call them her magic mushrooms. Julee and I thank you for your continued prayers for our sweet Golden girl. We hope God gives us as much time with her as he can spare\u2026but then I understand he always needs angels up in heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you miss me?
