00:01:53 Crystal Caudill: Now they should be able to. 00:02:16 Martha Artyomenko: Yes, I can see it now. 00:02:23 Crystal Caudill: And I meant to say Good morning to everyone. Still not fully awake. 00:02:46 Sally Shupe: Good morning!! 00:03:05 Martha Artyomenko: Trying to figure out the time change is always fun! Good morning, everyone! 00:03:10 Gina Holder: Good morning to everyone else! 00:03:17 Crystal Caudill: Is everyone having a good time and learning lots? 00:03:21 Martha Artyomenko: Diversity in Writing was amazing. 00:03:25 Sally Shupe: I appreciate the morning welcome! The Writer's Toolbox! 00:03:38 Crystal Caudill: Favorite is hard. Diversity in Writing was AMAZING, so was Writing Men 00:03:43 Sally Shupe: yese 00:04:12 Gina Holder: I enjoyed both of Lisa Carter's classes. 00:04:15 Martha Artyomenko: The Writing Men was so good too. If you have not read his books, you should read them. 00:04:22 Sally Shupe: Yes, Lisa's were awesome! 00:04:51 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: The class on writing difficult stories was powerful 00:05:03 Sally Shupe: The Devotion one with Carlton Hughes was very good as well. I learned so much! 00:05:52 Sally Shupe: I love this online format. Will it be continued for next year? This is the only way I can attend and it's been awesome! 00:05:59 Susan M'Chelle Brannock: Me too! 00:06:18 Susan Pettit: I am Sooooo thrilled to be here and getting to learn. 00:06:20 Regina Walker: I can't pick a favorite. This is my first writing conference ever. I've learned so much and I am thankful for this online format. I wouldn't have made it in person. Too many small kids. :D Thank you for putting this on. 00:06:33 sharonhcarpenter: It was my first MANY years ago…God gave favor then…and I dropped the ball. I am starting over, praying for favor again. 00:06:51 Martha Artyomenko: I know it is hard on everyone, but it has enabled me to be able to go to conferences I could not have afforded to go to otherwise. 00:06:52 Lori Scott: Everything has been amazing. I miss the face-to-face, but being able to access all the classes and material is GOLD. 00:08:00 Susan Pettit: The price is awesome!! 00:08:01 sharonhcarpenter: I miss meeting people and forming relationships at dinner or in the halls. However, the teaching and being able to access everything is wonderful. 00:08:40 Sally Shupe: Virginia Tech is doing in person classes but then also having a Zoom component. I would not be able to attend in person. I also got to attend Mt Zion Press Christian Fiction Writers conference and it was by Zoom as well. This has been great for me. These were my first conferences. Thank you for all the hard work putting this together! 00:09:19 Regina Walker: I have no doubts that face to face comes with deeper connections with shared meals and praying together and swapping notes and discussing all the material. My someday goal is to attend live events. I know my littles won't be little forever. 00:09:23 Melissa Stroh: Good morning everyone! 00:09:59 Sheridan Lee: Same for me, Sally. I’m in Australia so even without COVID I’d not be able to attend this year. 00:10:11 Kristy: So thankful for all our attendees. We have been praying for you all for months and to hear the Lord is moving in your hearts is an amazing thing. 00:10:27 Martha Artyomenko: There are so many great things about meeting in person, but sometimes with travel expenses, lodging costs, it adds up. 00:10:47 Sally Shupe: Right Sheridan! That is far away! 00:11:00 Kristy: Morning, Gregg!! 00:11:17 sharonhcarpenter: I think that I am absorbing the information better in the online format bc I am not spending energy forming relationships. I will miss the relationship element next week, but I am thankful for the ability to really LEARN. 00:11:20 Melissa Stroh: Morning Hallee and Gregg! 00:11:28 Regina Walker: Corned beef hash is my favorite!! 00:11:47 Crystal Caudill: I echo what Kristy said. We have been praying for the attendees for months. We are SO glad you are here and praying that you are blessed by it and move forward to write for God’s glory. You’ve got this! 00:12:08 Bettie Boswell: This has been a great conference. 00:12:15 Gina Holder: Thank you, Crystal and Kristy! 00:12:19 Marcy: Hallee and Gregg, thank you so much for all you are doing with KCWC 2020!! You both are awesome! 00:12:27 Regina Walker: Sharon - you know, that is so true. I would be very overwhelmed if I was juggling relationships forming and learning. Whereas I've been able to digest everything without feeling overwhelmed this way. 00:12:29 Lea Ann: Good morning everyone from Tompkinsville! 00:12:30 Gina Holder: Thank you Hallee and Gregg! 00:12:33 Kristy: Sharon, that is an interesting consequence. With the online format, it does remove certain distractions. 00:12:36 sharonhcarpenter: Enjoy these littles while you have them. They grow too fast! 00:12:45 Julie Cox: It has been a wonderful conference 00:12:46 Cynthia Stroop: Good morning, everyone! 00:12:52 Martha Artyomenko: Yeah, they grow up before you know it. Mine are 22, 20, 18 and 15 and it is flying by. 00:13:03 Sheridan Lee: Really? I’m in Melbourne, Australia. Where’s your brother, Hallee? 00:13:04 Regina Walker: We have 7 kids - they range from 3 years old to 21 years old. They grow fast. 00:13:21 Melissa Henderson: Good Morning everyone. Foggy and warm here in Mount Pleasant SC 00:13:34 sharonhcarpenter: Yes, Kristy, it does. I will definitely feel the loss of the relationships next week. 00:13:45 Sally Shupe: Melissa, it's foggy here in southwest Virginia too! 00:13:46 Debbie: Good Morning 00:14:15 Kristy: Oh but Sharon, you don't have to lose fellowship!! We have the private group. Get on it. We would love to continue to support you! 00:14:25 Melissa Henderson: Hello Sally Shupe :-) 00:14:34 sharonhcarpenter: Is there a way to “connect” later? To form relationships? 00:15:40 Crystal Caudill: Hallee, can we set up a lunch social like we did yesterday. from 11:30 to 12:30 for anyone who wants to get together to socialize? 00:15:40 Regina Walker: Amen! 00:16:45 Susan M'Chelle Brannock: Amen! 00:16:48 Gina Holder: Wow!

Thank you all. 00:19:26 Kristy: YES!!! This did not take our Lord by surprise. He has plans far greater than what we can ask or imagine. Believe it. Write about it. 00:19:28 sharonhcarpenter: Amen! None of this crazy chaos surprised God. There is no panic in heaven. 00:19:29 Cynthia Stroop: Yes, for such a time as this! 00:19:40 Susan Pettit: God is such a good good Father and He has poured out His beautiful love and wisdom through each of you! 00:19:49 LORI: That is so awesome! Thank you God for your abundant provision in making this happen for your kingdom and glory! 00:21:02 Debra Marvin: I’m so much more likely to make that long drive to KY to do this in person some day because of the incredible job you have all done! And the heart for God and CF that you show! 00:21:17 Susan M'Chelle Brannock: God is so good. 00:21:20 Lori Scott: Yes, what Debra said. 00:21:21 Sally Shupe: Debra, I was thinking the same thing! This has been amazing! 00:21:21 Laurel Blount: You have done a fabulous job!!

This is what we are called to do. 00:23:33 Bettie Boswell: If you join the Facebook, make new friends for your social media numbers! 00:23:36 Sally Shupe: This is awesome!

I'm so moved and ready to get started applying what y'all are teaching! 00:24:18 Kristy: Your prayer requests are SO precious to us.
