20 Nuggets of Knowledge To Propel Our Writing Career (and life)

When I began reviewing my notes from the Mount Hermon Writers Conference my highlighter flooded the pages, so many nuggets of knowledge. The conference shares information about faith, marketing, platform building, and writing. The most valuable information comes from our time with the Lord throughout the conference. I will share that content in later blogs, but today I wanted to share a few nuggets from the speakers. It was hard to pinpoint what I wanted to share as all of the information is extremely valuable.

Being a list maker, I began a list bulleting the ‘most’ important nuggets. That took up two pages of notes. I toiled over the deletion of some of the information I wanted to share with you and have come up with a list of 20. It amazes me how I can attend a writer’s conference and leave with amazing life lessons that strengthen my faith.
