Blessings abound! 00:09:15 Tracy Crump: Jim, congratulations on your book being a finalist in the Carol Awards! 00:09:26 Diana Derringer: Loved the video! 00:09:44 Pam Walker: Yes, we can't wait for your message, Jim! 00:09:54 Donna Stearns: Amen to that. So IL has a pocket known for allergies 00:10:38 Glenda Ferguson: James, I know you above par in speaking! 00:10:41 Bobbie Frazier: RORY! 00:10:53 Glenda Ferguson: I hope that didn’t tee you off! 00:11:16 Glenda Ferguson: Pete Dye course in French Lick, Indiana! Tough! 00:11:42 Elaine McAllister: Hey, Hallee, is Gregg for hire??? 00:11:57 Pam Walker: Hairlene wants to know. 00:12:09 Rhonda Dragomir: Just downloaded "Cast the First Stone" on my Kindle. It's available on KU. 00:12:16 Lea Ann: In southern IN golf is oftern referred to as "Pasture Pool." 00:12:28 Rhonda Dragomir: Pam, haha. Gregg is hiding from Hairlene. 00:12:37 Jonna LeVan: Is it too late to say...this has been a fantastic conference? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00:12:50 Martha Artyomenko: Jim is an amazing voice for audio books. If you are going to do audio books and get him to voice it, it can sell your book! 00:12:54 Glenda Ferguson: In Indiana watch for the divets! 00:13:03 Rhonda Dragomir: Jonna, never too late. 00:13:07 Rhonda Dragomir: Jean is frozen. 00:13:09 Holly Switzer: been going through the journalism program at my local college. I'm enjoying it 00:13:11 Pam Walker: You aren't going to stop writing are you, Jim? 00:13:12 Leslie Santamaria: Jean is frozen only 00:13:37 Elaine McAllister: you muted yourself 00:14:11 Susan Healey: Hi... TN 00:16:18 Elaine McAllister: LOVE that picture -- LOVE that it captures you. 00:16:36 Jonna LeVan: This is me. 00:17:02 Jerilyn Lowery: As a former English teacher, I totally agree with you, Jim. 00:17:17 Tracy Crump: I agree. Our younger son is ADHD. We ended up homeschooling. Best thing we ever did! 00:17:18 Rhonda Dragomir: School environments can stifle some children. We need to ask why. 00:20:11 Elaine McAllister: WOW 00:20:13 Rhonda Dragomir: Crushing. Words have so much power. So easy to misunderstand. 00:24:58 Katherine Swarts: Been there. Most writers suffer from “imposter syndrome.” 00:25:39 Jonna LeVan: Katherine...I totally feel that "imposter syndrome"... 00:27:49 Leslie Santamaria: Love this validation video! 00:28:24 Rhonda Dragomir: Haha! The best humor uncovers truth. 00:29:08 Lee Pollock: fantastic video!!! I needed that. 00:29:44 Yvonne Ortega: Compassionate way to tell the truth. 00:30:50 Yvonne Ortega: Dangerous way to pray. God answers fast with full force. 00:32:10 Yvonne Ortega: Yes, sir, absolutely everything. Don’t ask me how I know. 00:32:53 Jonna LeVan: PTSD is real. 00:33:15 Martha Artyomenko: C-PTSD is so hard. It is brutal. 00:33:36 Yvonne Ortega: Yes, indeed, PTSD is real and brutal. 00:37:26 Jonna LeVan: The Lord has an amazing and brilliant way to snatch your heart and expose it to His incredible Love. I'm not sure that any of those ways are easy...but, so worth it. 00:37:43 Pam Walker: Love him! 00:38:03 Jonna LeVan: LOTR nerd, here. 00:38:49 Rhonda Dragomir: His portrayal of Aragorn is one of my favorite characters in any movie. 00:38:58 Yvonne Ortega: I love how God affirms His unconditional everlasting love for us. 00:41:57 Yvonne Ortega: Mary DeMuth is so real, one transparent godly woman. 00:44:20 Martha Artyomenko: Congratulations on being nominated for a Carol Award too, for your book Cast The First Stone on that topic too. 00:46:04 Susan Healey: Thank you, Jim. We all have found validation in areas not what God would want. May we always strive for God first. 00:46:17 Yvonne Ortega: Thank you so much, Jim. This has been anointed. 00:46:33 Jerilyn Lowery: Wonderful messages all weekend long, Jim. Thank you. 00:46:34 Johanna Janssen: Amen. Thank you. 00:46:36 Jonna LeVan: "Lord slay me...take me through the fire" is the most terrifying and empowering prayer. Do we have the boldness to pray it into our lives?" 00:46:51 Heather Greer: Wonderful and much needed message! Thank you for being transparent and sharing your journey. 00:46:53 Diana Derringer: Wow! Thank you for the powerful reminder through your story. 00:46:57 Penny Frost MCGinnis: I love the reminder that I'm a daughter of ABBA! 00:47:05 Elaine McAllister: Wow....thanks for sharing what is perhaps an unconventional keynote for the end of a writers conference....one that has caused me to 'begin' to flip! LOL! 00:47:07 Beth Westcott: Congratulations, Jim! 00:48:48 Leslie Santamaria: Just the word “sifting” alone in that context gives me chills. That's a powerful concept. 00:49:38 Edwina Perkins: I love Cec! He tore me apart as well. 00:49:50 Tracy Crump: My son went to one of Cec Murphey's intensives, too! He's such a giver! 00:49:51 Lea Ann: Cec Murphy; ONE OF THE BEST!!!! 00:49:52 Jonna LeVan: Love my editor.❤️ 00:50:13 Yvonne Ortega: I love Cec Murphey. He gave me the blood bath early in my writing process. 00:50:30 Janet Morris Grimes: It takes a while to give yourself permission to invest in your project in this way. 00:50:53 Sean Costello: Does KCWC has a list of available editors for hire? 00:51:03 Tracy Crump: Yes, Janet, but so worth it! 00:51:48 Martha Artyomenko: My sister just said she listened to your books with her kids and they all loved it, down to age 7. 00:51:50 Janet Morris Grimes: I agree. That's a big turning point for writers I think. When you finally believe your project is worth that sort of investment. 00:53:19 Rhonda Dragomir: Sean, I don't think KCWC has a list, but I personally recommend one of our faculty members, Tracy Crump. She did an outstanding job for me. Twice! 00:53:24 Jerilyn Lowery: It is hard to make those investments. Once you do, I believe they are validations in themselves. 00:54:05 Johanna Janssen: I heard screwtape letters on audio. 00:55:17 Tracy Crump: Johanna, the Focus on the Family edition? I loved that one! 00:55:35 Jonna LeVan: Kudos to authors who do audiobooks! Many in the neurodiverse community love this option in addition to the physical book. 00:55:47 Tracy Crump: True, Jerilyn! 00:55:53 Johanna Janssen: yes. It was excellent! 00:55:58 Sean Costello: Tracy Crump, can I have an email address? I am at SeanC1959@icloud.com 00:56:28 Martha Artyomenko: I was going to say that, Jonna. I have four children with language disabilities that love books. I so appreciate the extra time and expense of doing audio. 00:56:51 Tracy Crump: Sean, yes. tracygeneral@gmail.com 00:57:42 Lea Ann: Arrested development 00:58:23 Penny Frost MCGinnis: Like a character arc. 00:59:41 Martha Artyomenko: You should read “Pandora's Lunchbox" if you haven't yet. 01:00:08 Johanna Janssen: I love that, Hailee! 01:00:19 Jonna LeVan: I love to cook...it sings to my soul as well.🤣 01:00:24 Martha Artyomenko: I love to read old cookbooks too. 01:00:30 Rhonda Dragomir: If you've never read one of Hallee's parody cookbooks, you're missing a treat. Literally. 01:00:35 Tracy Crump: I'm reading David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. He makes the case that so many people who have these devastating experiences have changed the world. He talks about ADHD and autism for those who are interested in that. 01:00:41 Bobbie Frazier: Oh Hailee! That is awesome! I collect and read cookbooks also AND use them! 01:00:50 Elaine McAllister: I love that, Hallee -- I have my great aunt's cookbook from WAY BACK and LOVE the verbiage, for sure. 01:00:54 Patricia Tiffany Morris: Hallee do you use Scrivener for planning templates for recipes? Do you have a template to share? 01:01:27 Pam Walker: You worked your computer too hard, Jean! 01:02:00 Rhonda Dragomir: It was such a blessing to hear your journey, Jim. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. 01:02:19 Yvonne Ortega: I’m reading Beverly Lewis’ latest romance novel. The Beginning. 01:02:19 Vie Herlocker: Thank you so much, Jim. 01:02:29 Beth Westcott: Thank you! 01:02:45 Lauren Harrison: Thank you so much, this was great 01:02:47 Heather Hagstrom: Thank you so much for offering this virtual conference.
