I'm a certified lay counselor with The American Association of Christian counselors, so I've had years of experience ministering to women. Those times, as well as my own personal struggles through the years, will often find a voice in my stories. Never specifics or anything personal, but ideas that are born as a result of interacting with, and ministering to, women of all ages. I think it's deepened and enriched my writing and makes it more three-dimensional.

We do everything online, rather in person, never have ore than 4 people, and agree to critique new work each week (unless we're on deadline or traveling and must take a week off), and we all use Word and track changes. It's worked well for us and we've all grown in our writing as a result of one another's strengths.

I had to work writing this book into a very hectic schedule, along with edits on book one, Blowing on Dandelions, and starting to write another book, as well as juggling home and life. I think it took me 4-5 months, off and on. If I could write straight through without any interruptions AND knew exactly where I was going at any given time, I could easily do it in 45-60 days, but that never happens. :-) Miralee Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431092886100324593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598813920129707722.post-91016132702912782492014-02-21T13:30:27.852-08:002014-02-21T13:30:27.852-08:00How long did it take to write Wishing on Buttercup...How long did it take to write Wishing on Buttercups?Thank you for the opportunity to win.augustlily06(at)aim(dot)com.Have a wonderful weekend.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504503751347990453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598813920129707722.post-19434606620967334112014-02-21T12:37:15.275-08:002014-02-21T12:37:15.275-08:00Thats sweet !

Only the truly BIG names in fiction can do something like that any more, and they don't really need to. We can actually reach more readers now with a 'virtual' tour like we're doing here, than going out in person. Times have changed, for sure. Did you want to be entered in the drawing? If so, do you gave a question for me?
