Cyle is awesome too, btw. ; ) 00:46:48 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: No kidding. I try not to dread the end of the conference during the conference. Living in the "what-ifs" of the future always ruins the "present" - the gift of the moment. 00:46:51 Sally: My motto is write and see. Write what God gives you and see where He takes it. He can't do anything with it if you haven't written anything. 00:47:24 Lori Scott: Carlton, so glad you are a teacher and I writer. That's where I am. Congratulations on your book. 00:47:34 Yvonne MacKay: great motto! 00:47:49 Kentucky Christian Writers Conference Conference 1: Please remember that EVERY session is being recorded, the chat logs are being saved, and the videos will be posted with closed captioning available for the next 6 months. 00:47:51 Cynthia Stroop: Thanks for sharing that Carlton, that's reassuring to know we're not alone when we "crash". 00:47:52 Kelly Richards: thank you 00:48:28 Sally: Thanks Yvonne! 00:48:39 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: There are enough readers for everyone - billions of people.

Very helpful! 01:04:57 Tim Hicks - BMS: Scrivener is often on sale during NanowriMo. 01:05:11 Rhonda Dragomir: Yes, Brandy, I found it hard to use. 01:05:29 Melissa Stroh: I have it, but still have yet to tackle it. 01:05:30 Rhonda Dragomir: I think it would be great once you learn how to use it. 01:05:32 Regina Walker: Scrivener will be on sale next month during Camp NaNo, and if you complete your goal, it will be 50% off. 01:05:36 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: Scrivener has great tutorials as well so you can learn when you buy it. 01:05:41 Brandy Brow: Now that I’ve learned it, I love it. 01:05:50 Cathy Robinson: Scrivener is great for organizing your work and making major changes quickly. 01:06:11 Regina Walker: @Cathy Robinson - yes! Makes it easy to move scenes and things around!! 01:06:14 Robyn Monroe: Any benefit to a non-fiction writer 01:06:22 Robyn Monroe: to use Scrivener 01:06:36 Melissa Stroh: Yes, Robyn. 01:06:39 Regina Walker: @Robyn Monroe - I write both my fiction and non-fiction in Scrivener. 01:06:40 Brandy Brow: It’s also great for tracking submissions. 01:06:47 Paula Peckkham: Robyn, it organizes your chapters. If you change a chapter into two, it will automatically adjust the titles of everything following. 01:07:32 Rhonda Dragomir: Some of the best info was shared briefly by Bob Hostetler last night. He suggested starting with articles and blog posts to get some experience and traction. 01:08:04 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: I also am beginning to use it for having files for my posts, blogs, etc. Great organization tool. And for my mystery - super - can move around scenes, etc. LOVE IT! 01:08:06 Tim Hicks - BMS: Literature and Latte has a Mind Map program called Scapple. https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scapple/overview 01:08:21 Brandy Brow: I LOVE Scapple! 01:08:36 Rhonda Dragomir: My first publishing credit was in Chicken Soup for the Soul, only 1,200 words and a great way to start. They accept submissions from newbies. 01:08:50 kay: I also use Scrivener a lot It also has formats for screenplays and drama scripts for stage play, if you write those. I love Scrivener. 01:08:55 Tim Hicks - BMS: Scapple is fun for visual learners and organizers. :D 01:09:15 Rhonda Dragomir: The Christian Writers' Market Guide lists agencies which accept submissions from unpublished writers. 01:09:15 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: AMEN!!! 01:09:36 Elaine McAllister: Lots of Ninevahs in my path as I look backwards!!!! 01:09:47 Rhonda Dragomir: My workshop tonight on Writer's Toolbox will include some information on this topic. 01:10:09 Regina Walker: Take lots of notes. 01:10:48 Karynthia Phillips: Excellent ….rest and go through notes! 01:11:09 Joni Vance...joni@jonivance.com: Take time to watch each course recording, ask God to help you hear what you need to at that moment. And apply things little by little. Connect with others at the conference and support each other. And zoom has a free account option if you don't have a paid version. Connect with others on zoom to support them, too. 01:11:10 Elaine McAllister: Yes. Take lots of notes. Then reread notes. Then find a "takeaway" (or two or three) to begin with. 01:11:18 Cathy Robinson: Thank you! 01:11:22 Cynthia Stroop: Thank you! 01:11:22 Regina Walker: Thank you Carlton Hughes!! 01:11:31 Kelly Richards: thank you!!!!! 01:11:34 Valorie: Thank you so very much!
