Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Bethany Jett, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”
Devotions: Nuggets of Gold with Tracy Crump
In this episode of Writers Chat, Tracy shares several nuggets on writing devotions like write tight, have only one point, and do the research. She also discussed the “Hook, Book, Took, Look” method used to write devotions. Hook the reader, use scripture (Book), how devotion applies to read (Look), and a take away. If you write devotions or have thought about it but aren’t sure where to start, this episode is a gold mine.
