00:07:08 Jean Hall: Good morning, everyone. Welcome aboard! 00:07:35 Martha Artyomenko: Good Morning! Is this one set up to be a webinar as well? 00:08:46 Elly Gilbert: Good morning! I’m glad you all can’t see me scarfing down breakfast and trying to handle some day job emergencies so I can participate freely today!!! 00:10:42 Katherine Swartsb: Elly, sounds like me! One advantage of an in-person conference is that you really get away from all regular responsibilities! 00:11:16 Rhonda Dragomir: Bob is so encouraging! I'm looking forward to this even though I'm a conference veteran. 00:11:19 Deena Adams: Good morning everyone! 00:13:24 Lisa Sosnin: Good Morning! 00:13:48 Rhonda Dragomir: These technical things can be so picky! Thanks Hallee and Gregg for all you do! 00:15:08 Deena Adams: You look amazing, Bob. 00:15:43 Rhonda Dragomir: Not before I was born, haha! 00:16:16 Deena Adams: Me either, Rhonda. I was already married and had two children. 00:16:20 Lisa Sosnin: Same here! 00:16:51 Mishael Witty: I was 12! 00:16:51 Rhonda Dragomir: My gray hair only gives me more fodder to write, and more credibility. Age is wisdom, and all that... ;) 00:17:22 Rhonda Dragomir: I hide my gray, but hopefully the wisdom still comes through. 00:17:54 Rhonda Dragomir: Bob gets an A+ for using photos from the KY conference! 00:17:56 Katherine Swartsb: 1989, I was 20 and in college. 00:18:15 Rhonda Dragomir: Katherine, just a baby. ;) 00:19:45 Deena Adams: LOL 00:19:54 Rhonda Dragomir: Up, up-- telling on you, Bob! 00:20:18 Katherine Swartsb: Make sure your good doesn’t go bad! 00:21:12 Rhonda Dragomir: Truth. A conference is important, but it's only the first step toward publication. 00:22:44 Glenda Ferguson: And we hope the connections we make with others are ongoing also. 00:23:02 Rhonda Dragomir: Conferences are like drinking from a fire hose. That's not an original simile, but it's true. 00:23:21 Rhonda Dragomir: Glenda, yes! Be sure to attend at least one social hour. 00:23:53 Katherine Swartsb: I’ve attended about 30 conferences and still haven’t learned that once-doesn’t-solve-everything lesson! 00:24:16 Dayna: Appreciated the affordability of this conference! 00:24:29 Rhonda Dragomir: I've invested thousands of dollars in conferences, and I don't regret spending a penny of it. Each one has contributed in some way to my writing career. 00:25:21 Rhonda Dragomir: Dayna - it's a real bargain for what you'll receive! I love KCWC! 00:26:09 Dayna: 👍🏻❤️ 00:26:46 Jean Hall: Thanks. We try to keep your cost as low as possible. 00:27:21 Jean Hall: Great opportunities to make lasting friendships. 00:27:30 Glenda Ferguson: I appreciated that, Bob! The conference is organized in various strands to address my focus. 00:28:44 Katherine Swartsb: My priority is to learn more about platform-building and where my gifts meet the world’s needs. 00:29:25 Tammy Warren: Inspiration to submit to Guideposts magazine and tips for writing for children 00:30:06 Katherine Swartsb: There are a lot of living “zombies” in the sense of stumbling mindlessly through life scrambling incessantly to fill 00:30:25 Katherine Swartsb: their perceived instant gratification needs. 00:30:59 Dory Oda: How do we make connections when this is all virtual? 00:31:08 Deena Adams: Introvert here. 00:31:26 Katherine Swartsb: … and trampling others in the process. 00:32:02 Katherine Swartsb: I’m a proud introvert. And we aren’t all antisocial. 00:32:11 David Kueker: Extrovert + Exhaustion = Introvert 00:32:31 Deena Adams: No, we’re not anti-social, we just want our social interaction to be meaningful. At least I do. 00:32:42 Katherine Swartsb: Wish I had the link to my favorite “why the world needs introverts” article. 00:33:10 Deena Adams: Relationships is my focus word for 2021. :) 00:33:14 Marlene H: Good Morning from NC! 00:33:33 Katherine Swartsb: Hello from Houston! 00:33:53 Lisa Sosnin: Hello from Louisville, KY! 00:34:03 Deena Adams: Hi from Chesapeake, VA! 00:34:11 Katherine Swartsb: 7:30 a.m. here. 00:34:35 Tabitha Bouldin: Hello from Tennessee! 100% introvert here 00:35:05 Jo Massaro: Hello from Fort Wayne, IN 00:35:54 Jo Massaro: I’m one of those people Bob.

Take my word, that’s its own punishment! 00:40:03 Cynthia: I don't know how to attach my name here so I guess I'll just include it in the text...- Cynthia 00:40:32 Deena Adams: Cynthia, your name shows up to us. :) 00:40:54 Katherine Swartsb: Cynthia, your name automatically appears in the From tag. 00:41:03 Cynthia: Deena, thanks! I am so NOT technical... 00:42:03 Deena Adams: I’m not very technical either, Cynthia but I’ve had to learn A LOT since I started writing! 00:42:14 Deena Adams: I thought I was just going to write and publish a book. LOL 00:42:25 Anne Rauth: Greetings from Kansas City--slated to be 100 degrees today! :-( 00:42:36 Katherine Swartsb: I’ve learned a lot about Zoom in the past year! 00:43:10 Deena Adams: Me too, Katherine. 00:43:51 Jill Chapman: Elevator pitch-I think of it as a sound bite. 00:44:07 Lisa Sosnin: "Steamy writers" attending from Kansas today! 00:46:04 Jean Hall: ELAINE MC - Participate in the Social Hours. Some editors and agents always show up. 00:46:52 Jill Chapman: That was me the first conference!!! 00:46:56 Deena Adams: He’s getting personal now. LOL 00:47:40 Tabitha Bouldin: Or kids AND cats :) 00:47:56 Katherine Swartsb: He’s met my cat!! 00:48:19 Deena Adams: Or you have no kids or cats at home but still wake up before 6 every day. 00:51:11 Deena Adams: Let’s connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dmarieadams 00:52:45 Dory Oda: "A long obedience in a _____uphill." Help! 00:53:21 Glenda Ferguson: In an uphill direction 00:53:34 Jean Hall: Writing for publication is a LONG journey. 00:53:45 Jane Tucker: "A long obedience in an uphill direction" - Bob's words. From the book by Eugene Peterson, "A long obedience in the same direction" 00:53:51 Jean Hall: I've heard it said that publication moves at glacial speed. 00:54:20 Jean Hall: It's true. 00:54:26 Katherine Swartsb: Thanks, I thought “same” was the actual title word. 00:54:28 Deena Adams: I started a Facebook group in 2020 for fiction writers called Marathon. I reminder that the road to publication is not a sprint, but a Marathon. 00:54:51 Dory Oda: thanks for help with that quote, everyone! 00:55:06 Jo Massaro: Bob has a great article to pray 31 ways for your writing 00:55:15 Tammy Warren: Thanks, Bob! 00:55:15 Deena Adams: Such excellent advice.

Welcome! What do you write? 00:59:52 Jill Chapman: I need to go but I'll be back in a bit! 01:00:18 Rhonda Dragomir: LOVE Writer's Chat, and all things put out by Serious Writer, Inc. 01:00:25 Jennifer Cotney: I am currently an inspirational writer.

It would be a technology challenge, but...we have the Bridgemans! 01:08:24 Glenda Ferguson: Funny! 01:08:26 Marlene H: Haha! Rhonda! Me too! I can't do retro--I am retro! LOL 01:08:31 Allie Pleiter: Good morning everyone! 01:08:37 Rhonda Dragomir: Haha, Marlene!

She is the "real deal" - so genuine in her help and mentoring of others. 01:11:16 Rhonda Dragomir: Everyone should plan to attend at least one Social Hour. Check it out. 01:11:43 Heather: Good morning from Kansas City! (Write in His Image) 01:11:45 Lisa Sosnin: Thank you! Rhonda, I will be meeting with you later this evening. I look forward to it!

Did I get mixed up on times? 01:18:47 Rhonda Dragomir: Michelle is here, this is our morning devotional. 01:19:03 Jill Chapman: Thank you Rhonda. 01:19:54 Jill Chapman: God has certainly been putting the heat to me. Forcing me to face some things I'd rather not. 01:20:18 Rhonda Dragomir: I feel you, Jill. The refining process is never comfortable. 01:21:50 Glenda Ferguson: And there is also the tarnishing. God can wipe and polish that away to reveal your “shine” again. 01:22:13 Rhonda Dragomir: Glenda, yes. He polishes us until He sees His image reflected in us. 01:24:16 Lisa Sosnin: Thank you for your sweet words, Jean! 01:24:17 Bonnie M.: Thank you Jean! 01:24:21 Susan Hayhurst: Thanks so much, Jean! 01:24:23 Katherine Swartsb: Too many Christians are too focused on what’s wrong with “the world” to see what God is trying to do with THEM. 01:24:23 Jill Chapman: Thank you Jean! 01:24:29 Shirley Crowder: Thank you, Jean, for giving us encouragement! 01:24:39 Rhonda Dragomir: Michelle can talk faster than any human I know, and it's all so good! 01:24:43 Tammy Warren: Beautiful, Jean. I just loved that devotion. 01:24:44 Marlene H: Hi Michelle! So good to see you again! 01:26:23 Cheryl Bolden: Trusting that the workshop able to capture Jean's remarks in the first session. I had forgotten about the refinement process as it relates to metals or things out of the ground. So timely and so well presented. 01:26:34 Rhonda Dragomir: My great-nephews and their families LOVED "Dinosaur Devotions." https://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Devotions-Discoveries-Bible-Truths/dp/1400209021 01:26:51 Janet Morris Grimes: Good morning, All. Make sure to change your "To" field to "All panelists and attendees" so all can see your comments. It may be defaulting to panelists only. 01:26:51 Rhonda Dragomir: Jeans devo will definitely be on the recording. 01:27:40 Melissa Henderson: Michelle gives me the giggles. She’s so sweet!! 01:27:43 Rhonda Dragomir: And the manicure...woo hoo! 01:27:46 Deena Adams: Sounds great and you look beautiful, Michelle. 01:30:39 Rhonda Dragomir: Joy has been hard to find, but I'm still hunting! 01:30:49 leslie: So sorry for your loss, Michelle. 01:31:02 Melissa Henderson: Amen. Hang on to the joy giver. 01:31:19 Deena Adams: So sorry for the loss of your brother in law, Michelle. 01:32:20 Deena Adams: Build it out of wood and barky 01:33:53 Rhonda Dragomir: Scientists have postulated there was a layer of water under the crust of the earth that is no longer there. Gives new insight to the phrase "springs of the deep." Amazing. 01:36:36 Rhonda Dragomir: Being in the center of God's will doesn't always mean things are easy. Truth. But I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. 01:39:52 Desire Nana: Hi, My name is Desire Nana and I am originally from Cameroon, first time attendee. I wrote about my life story which is similar tp Joseph's story in the bible. 01:40:20 Jean Hall: Hi, Desire. Welcome! 01:40:23 Rhonda Dragomir: Welcome, Desire! Your story sounds compelling. 01:40:26 Pam Walker: You have a beautiful family, Michelle! 01:40:34 Anna Christine: Welcome Desire! 01:40:38 Tracy Crump: Welcome, Desire! 01:40:47 Desire Nana: Thanks, 01:40:51 Pam Walker: Welcome Desire! So glad you are here! 01:40:57 Lisa Sosnin: Welcome, Desire! 01:41:11 Rhonda Dragomir: Desire...be sure to attend Harriet Michel's workshop on writing a memoir. 01:41:22 Rhonda Dragomir: Michael...oops. 01:41:50 Desire Nana: Yes, I will. What time it is again/ 01:42:22 Pam Walker: It is at 4:00 today. 01:42:33 Desire Nana: Thanks, 01:43:36 Rhonda Dragomir: Ugly cry. Yep. I've done that. 01:45:13 Jill Chapman: I'm callin' Mom! lol 01:46:59 Rhonda Dragomir: Yes. Revelation is great, but it doesn't always immediately change our circumstances. 01:48:27 Martha Artyomenko: Dreams are great to help you see what you want. It is hard though when it takes so long to get there. 01:49:05 Rhonda Dragomir: Martha, yes. Waiting on God is never easy. But...He is never late. That's been my testimony. 01:50:51 Katherine Swartsb: Face it, we’re going to have to wait for results whatever we do, so we might as well learn to wait in joy and gratitude. (Do as I say, not as I’ve been doing!!!) 01:51:04 Pam Walker: Love your heart and transparency, Michelle! And of course your bubbliness! 01:51:31 Rhonda Dragomir: Katherine, yes. This is such an important reminder for our attitudes. 01:52:18 Brenda Flowers: Praise the Lord! He answers our prayers. God loves us so much! 01:53:05 Rhonda Dragomir: Yes, Brenda. Amen! 01:53:20 Martha Artyomenko: That is the hope, Rhonda, but sometimes it is hard to see His plan, when so many hard things happen, but keeping the faith despite that. 01:53:26 Tracy Crump: She's making me tear up. God is so good! 01:53:45 Rhonda Dragomir: Yep. I need a tissue. 01:53:46 Tracy Crump: good! 01:54:11 Desire Nana: He answer prayer when we stay in his will. 01:54:23 Brenda Flowers: We all have a testimony. Our stories matter. 01:54:24 Jill Chapman: Thank you for sharing your heart. This has been a wonderful "church" time right here! 01:54:36 Tama Fortner: What a beautiful story of your faith and God’s faithfulness! 01:54:45 Tracy Crump: Yes, Brenda! 01:55:31 Melissa Henderson: Thank you Michelle, for this wonderful encouragement. 01:55:48 Rhonda Dragomir: Noah's boat had no rudder or sails. God was the navigator and pilot. I need to remember that... 01:56:02 Desire Nana: God works behind the scene is the sub-title of my book. 01:56:07 Anna Christine: Love that Rhonda! 01:56:54 Rhonda Dragomir: I'm always so stressed about "missing it." She's preaching to me...and I need it. 01:57:24 Tama Fortner: Yes!!! 01:57:35 Anna Christine: I pray that the Lord smack me with what he wants me to do because of my fear that I'll miss where/what His direction is 01:58:14 Tracy Crump: Love that prayer, Anna! 01:58:40 Rhonda Dragomir: I understand that feeling, Anna. God does speak, and it's up to me to trust that His voice will be loud enough I'll hear him. He doesn't want me to "miss it" any more than I do! 01:58:40 leslie: At Anna, I understand! I have wanted a flashing neon sign! 01:58:46 Katherine Swartsb: Me too, Rhonda! 01:59:03 Melissa Henderson: I always say that the Lord taps me on the shoulder three times and then , He hits me in the head. :-) 01:59:19 Rhonda Dragomir: Melissa, haha! God's 2x4. 01:59:21 Melissa Henderson: Jeremiah 29:11 01:59:28 Liz Bradford: Melissa! Yes! 01:59:30 Brenda Flowers: Tracy, thanks... Michelle, your message is encouraging me. I appreciate your challenge. Yes, God has the very best plan. 01:59:32 Anna Christine: Just talked to my Mom about that prayer yesterday because I continue to have thoughts about opening a Christian bookstore here …. even had a name flash. 01:59:37 Tracy Crump: I love Jeremiah 29:11. Our sons used it on their graduation announcements. 02:00:06 Tracy Crump: What's the name, Anna (if you don't mind sharing). 02:00:13 Anna Christine: By His Hand 02:00:15 Marlene H: Yes, Melissa! Sometimes I need the spiritual "cast iron frying pan" to tap me on the head! 02:00:17 Rhonda Dragomir: We need more Christian bookstores...it's tough, but not impossible. 02:00:26 Anna Christine: We have none in our county 02:00:27 Tracy Crump: Love it! 02:00:42 Brenda Flowers: Agreeing in prayer... 02:01:40 Melissa Henderson: Amen 02:01:41 Shirley Crowder: Thanks, Michelle.

Thank you, Michelle. 02:02:03 Lisa Sosnin: Thank you for your inspiring story! You have blessed me so much! 02:02:07 Katherine Swartsb: We used to have a lot of Christian bookstores in Houston, but (like so many bookstores in general) they’ve mostly gone either online or out of business. 02:02:08 Pam Walker: Thanks, Michelle! Awesome keynote! 02:02:09 Marlene H: Thank you Michelle! Lots of great encouragement! 02:02:12 Cynthia: Thank you for setting such a beautiful tone for this conference! 02:02:20 Glenda Ferguson: Awesome!!! 02:02:21 leslie: Can we get Michelle's website link? 02:02:33 Jill Chapman: Wow!
