Book Blast: Your Faith Has Made You Well: Jesus Heals in the New Testament by Barbara Hosbach

June 20, 2015/0 Comments/in Catholic Writing and Publishing, Faith/by Karina Fabian

This month, the Catholic Writers’ Guild is touring Guildie Barbara Hosbach’s book, Your Faith Has Made You Well: Jesus Heals in the New Testament. It’s an SOA winner that explores what happened when Jesus healed and what it means for us today.

Summary: Jesus’ healing power speaks to all of us who are willing to turn to him and have our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts opened to what he offers us. Each chapter of this book begins with the Scripture account of a healing story and then takes a deeper look at what happened…[and] what those encounters might have felt like when viewed through the eyes of the people involved. Questions at the end of each chapter—which can be used for private reflection or group discussion—invite readers to identify with each story in a personal way…

Win a Book! Barbara will be giving out a free copy of Your Faith Has Made You Well on her website. People can enter for a chance to win by leaving a comment on one of her blog posts before June 25 and the winner will be notified by email on June 26.

Website: www.biblemeditations.net

Excerpt:

A leper came to [Jesus] begging him, and kneeling he said to him, “If you choose, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. Mark 1: 40-42

The leper dared to approach Jesus even though it was forbidden. Once determined “unclean” by the priests, lepers had to live outside the camp, wear torn clothes, and leave their hair uncombed. As if that wasn’t enough to keep others away, they had to call out, “Unclean, unclean!” to make sure people kept their distance (Lev 13:45-46). What a lonely, miserable way to live! It’s bad enough to be isolated, but forced to wear rags and give up personal grooming? That’s adding insult to injury, literally. No wonder the leper begged for Jesus’ help.

…Many of us choose to isolate ourselves when we’re having a rough time for any number of reasons. We voluntarily treat ourselves much like the leper. We stay home in dirty pajamas or a ratty bathrobe and pull the covers over our heads. We don’t shower or comb our hair. We transmit the message loud and clear that we want to be alone. We determine that we are unclean, unfit for the company of others. The spiral of isolation continues in its downward trajectory every time we look in the mirror.

We don’t share our problems because we fear others will reject us. Instead, we beat them to the punch and reject ourselves. If we aren’t up to putting our best foot forward, we may not feel emotionally healthy enough to be around others at all. We deny ourselves the healing opportunity of unconditional love, the gift of being accepted just as we are. Our friends, loved ones, or even professionals may not have the power to heal us of our troubles instantly. What others can do is help us break out of the self-imposed isolation that makes the problems we’re struggling with loom larger.

People with skin diseases can’t really cover them up. Their condition is out in the open for all to see. Unlike them, we can choose to cover up our inner blemishes and sore spots, hoping no one else will see, but what does that gain us? We are as alone as if we were in quarantine. There’s a saying that we’re only as sick as our secrets. Granted, we don’t have to broadcast our difficulties in public. Discretion is always wise, but discretion is not the same as going it alone. Surely God will lead us to at least one trusted person we can share our challenges with honestly and confidentially, be it a friend, loved one, or professional. God’s wisdom is a powerful, sustaining source of guidance for us all, no matter what keeps us from the fullness of life…

Ponder: What isolates you from others? What would it take to be healed of this isolation?

Pray: Trinity of Love, we’re called to live in community. Melt the barriers of fear and pride that isolate me from others.

Catholic Writers Conference, July 29-August 1, 2014

July 22, 2014/7 Comments/in Catholic Writers Conference Live, Catholic Writers Guild, Catholic Writing and Publishing, CWG member benefits, CWG Needs Volunteers, Encouragement for Writers, Marketing Your Work, Networking, The Writing Life/by Leslie Lynch

EWTN Bookmark interviews at the CWG Booth

Headed for Catholic Writers Conference next week? Are you excited? You should be! Take a look at this photo to get a sense of the energy and opportunities that await! What an opportunity to rub shoulders with industry professionals, to put names and personalities to folks you’ve met online, to renew friendships, and to network. This is a once in a lifetime experience; make the most of it. There will never be another gathering of exactly the same people at this point in their faith and writing journeys. Truly you are in Chicago, Illinois, because God has called you to be there!

Each of you has a specific reason for attending, a goal you hope to accomplish. If this is your first conference experience, the coming days are likely to be a roller coaster of euphoria juxtaposed with self doubt. Be assured that you are not the only one grappling with these feelings. I hope this knowledge translates into a greater sense of ease in a new and sometimes intimidating environment. Here are some words of advice (of wisdom, too, hopefully!) for both newbies and veterans, for authors, for agents, and for editors, geared toward making this conference the best it can be for everyone:

1) Everyone’s goals are the same, ultimately. Editors want to find the next diamond of a manuscript to publish. Agents want to discover the next author whose career they can guide to new heights. Authors want to find a publisher and/or agent to promote their awesome work. And in this particular setting, all of these people want to serve God with their talents and gifts in the way that pleases Him the most.

When viewed through that prism, competition loses the edge of greed and rejection loses its sting. We’re all on the same side, and God’s looking out for the good of each person’s life and career. This doesn’t mean you should fail to promote your product, just that there is no need for fear. Which brings us to the next point.

2) Be confident. You have something no one else does: your voice, and your work. These are gifts that God has given you, gifts that you have honed with hard work and prayer. No one can duplicate your contribution. Take heart in that fact, and know that your work will find its home. Maybe through this conference; maybe not – which leads to…

3) Don’t take rejection personally. Sometimes it just isn’t a good fit for the publisher or agent. Imagine a library with thousands of books. You have three days to find the best two. You will have to create a system to sort and discard the ones that aren’t suitable for your purpose. Do you see that many wonderful, deserving books will be overlooked? This does not reflect on the worthiness of each one, the same way it does not reflect on your particular project. And in today’s climate, many options are available. So…

4) Be open. There are many possibilities that we may not recognize in our limited, human view. Be open to new ideas, new directions, new options. You may discover a brand new path, or even a calling! You may discover it through…

5) Networking. This is the whole purpose of a conference. Meet people! Ask them what they write, who they want to represent, what they want to publish. Have a brief answer ready when others ask you these questions. (I write ____ and my current project is about ____.)

This is a remarkably small community, and the contacts you make in the next few days will serve you for your entire career. Do not discount the importance of these interactions. They are crucial for your success. But remember…

6) Be nice. This should go without saying, especially in this setting, but we are human and sometimes we need to be reminded. Keep your comments positive; you never know who might overhear or repeat something you said in a frustrated or disappointed moment. Again, this is a remarkably small community even though it may not seem that way.

Also, restrict your interactions to appropriate venues. Don’t try to pitch to an agent or publisher in the restroom, or shove your manuscript under the door of the stall. I have seen the first and have heard of the second, so these are not as far-fetched as they seem. Be considerate of folks. If the target of your interest has a headache or gets a pained look on their face when you approach, be brief. Introduce yourself and say you’d like to send them a query if that is acceptable; believe me, they will remember and appreciate your kindness. And that goes a long way. Which leads to the last point…

7) Be yourself. This may call for leaving your comfort zone, though. If you tend to be shy (many writers are!) push yourself to be more sociable. It’s not hard; smile and ask people around you about themselves. You’ll be glad you did. If you are an extrovert, recognize your tendency to overshadow the more timid among us and let them shine, too.

8) Use social media to keep the non-conference-goers among us updated! There’s the CWG Facebook page and your personal Facebook/Twitter, etc. accounts. The ripple effect can be unlimited. Share the love!

I hope each one of you has a wonderful experience at the Catholic Writers Conference! And… Oops! I forgot the most important words of advice! HAVE FUN!

Cheerleading! Mutually Beneficial Author Support

May 27, 2014/3 Comments/in Blogging, Book Review, Catholic Fiction, Catholic Writers Guild, Catholic Writing and Publishing, Encouragement for Writers, Fiction, Inspirational, Marketing Your Work, Networking, Novel, Pro-life, romance, Self-Publishing, The Writing Life, Writing Tips and Tricks/by Leslie Lynch

There are a lot of us out there. Authors. With great books to share. Too often, though, we feel alone in our endeavors, trying to get readers to notice us in the roiling sea of other great books. This is a great time to be a writer! It’s more possible than it has ever been to publish a book. But that means that all sorts of other people are doing the same.

Whether you are independently publishing your work, under contract with a traditional publisher, or working with a small, online press, the business of marketing one’s work falls more and more upon the shoulders of the author. “But I just want to write,” you say. Hey, I’m with you. Me, too. But that’s not our reality anymore.

How do we get “out there” where someone might notice?

First, write a quality book, no matter the genre. If you’re publishing independently, surround yourself with an expert team of editors, formatters, and cover artists. First impressions matter. Don’t give the reader a reason to skip past your book; give them a reason to stop and look at it, really look at it. Hopefully, they’ll be intrigued enough to click the ‘buy’ button.

Then, the meat of this post: Network. Before you ask people to spread the news about your book, make sure you’ve nurtured relationships with them, and have crowed about their successes. You can do this well before you are ready to publish your own work; in fact, that’s the best time to create these relationships. Have you gone to Catholic Writers Conference Live? Or participated in the online CWG conference? How about the Writing Retreat? Or any other writing focused activities? What about the CWG Facebook page? Have you interacted with other writers in any of those venues? I hope so, because that’s crucial for the next step, which is:

Celebrate with them! Post their new releases or awards on your Facebook page. Use your blog or Twitter to let your followers know there’s something available that’s worth their time. If you’re on Twitter, find and follow some entities that reflect your interests; they may reTweet for you and expand your reach.

Buy and read your friends’ books, and then review them on Amazon and Goodreads. *Caveat: Always say something nice, or don’t post a review. This does not mean you can’t be honest, but be honest in a kind manner. Personally, I never give a review with less than four stars, and even if I didn’t like everything about the book, I focus on what I loved about the book—or, if it’s in a genre that’s not my favorite, focus on what readers of that specific type of book will enjoy about this particular one.

Here’s an example of how this might work. A few weeks ago, Erin McCole Cupp contacted me because I’d done a cover reveal on my upcoming release, Hijacked, on CWG’s Facebook page. Would I like to trade read and reviews with her? She’d recently published Don’t You Forget About Me, a cozy mystery. I said yes, and posted reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. She upped the ante and asked me to be an interviewee on her blog the week my book comes out. I said yes (!), and then tagged her on a My Writing Process blog tour/relay. With any luck, some of my readers will be interested in her work and some of hers readers, in mine. That’s just with two authors! Imagine what can happen when more get in on the fun!

(And did you notice what I just did? I linked Erin’s website and the Amazon link to buy her book to this post. I purposely do this for everyone I mention on both my CWG and personal blogs. What goes around comes around…)

Join writing organizations and establish relationships with authors you respect. Be a cheerleader for them, and hope they’ll return the favor when it’s your turn. Yes, it’s time consuming, but it is well worth the effort—not just because they’re going to help you sell books, but because they are wonderful people and their friendships enrich your life.

Are you feeling a little less alone now? I hope so! If you’ve had success in the arena of networking, please share your story! What are the elements that contribute to that success?

How can a God Who is Love Put People in Hell?

September 3, 2013/9 Comments/in Catholic Writing and Publishing/by Larry Peterson

Besides the harangues of the secular world around us, I have been told directly and have heard among others in informal group settings that the idea HELL exists is ridiculous. The reasoning is, if God loves us how could He ever let any of us go there? How could He make such a horrible place? I have even heard that if God made people go to Hell He was no different than the murderers He was sending there. Result: There can be no Hell because then there is no God–HUH ???? Whatever.

I am not a theologian. However, I was educated in grade school by the Ursuline nuns, and they were quite successful at instilling the “fear of hell” in me and my classmates. We were taught that God our Father was one tough parent, and that we had better mind “our Ps & Qs” or else. I was sure many of my school mates were destined for Gehenna because they had eaten meat on Friday. Not me, I was afraid of not being able to get to confession in time so I stuck to cheese or tuna. Then they changed the rule and you could eat meat. I was so confused that for the first time I began to question things. I mean, did the people who ate meat the week before the rule was changed die and go to Hell, and then the people who ate meat the following Friday went to heaven? Okay, I figured it out for myself, and I want to share my personal theology about Hell. If you decide I am a bit wifty, so be it.

First of all, I know and believe unequivocally that there is, in fact, a place called Hell. There has to be. When I bring Holy Communion to the home bound and to folks in nursing homes my first prayer is from the the first letter of John, Ch4:16, “We come to know and believe that God is Love and he who abides in Love abides in God and God in him”. If God is Love and Love is God, He cannot put any of us in Hell. He does NOT do it. Contrary to some belief, He is not waiting to clobber us over the head with a mallet because we mess up. He is, in fact, the most loving, compassionate and forgiving Father we could ever have, including our own earthly one.

We put ourselves in Hell all by ourselves by rejecting the Love that is given us by God. You see, we have this thing called pride. So many of us think we are SO smart. The consummate atheist, Frederick Nietzsche was SO smart that after having thought about it for a very long time announced that “God is dead”. I have been blessed because I know I am not that smart. I’m not even as smart as Christopher Hitchins who thinks that “believers belong to the infancy of species”. Thank you Lord for keeping me dumb.

Look, I try to keep it simple. There has to be a God. We just have to look at the perfection all around us. The change in seasons, the new birth of springtime, day and night always within a 24 hour period, sunshine and moonshine, baby ducks following their mom. Those who choose to reject that simplicity and fall prey to their own false pride can wind up in a place called Hell. But we have a soul that is indestructible and eternal, right? My theology tells me that Hell is the utter and complete loss of Hope. We always have another chance while we are alive. When we die there are no more second chances. I cannot imagine existing in a world absent of all Hope, and knowing it is for all eternity. That is hell for sure. As for me, I intend to keep watching those baby ducks.

Catholic Writers Conference Live! A Two-fer Blog for conference goers (and stay-at-homers)

July 23, 2013/1 Comment/in Blogging, Catholic Writers Conference Live, Catholic Writers Guild, Catholic Writing and Publishing, CWG member benefits, CWG Member News/by Leslie Lynch

Are you headed for this year’s Catholic Writers Conference Live? If you are, check out my blog from last year regarding conference etiquette. It was good advice then, and I can’t think of a thing to improve on it. Just substitute the words Somerset, New Jersey for Arlington, Texas.

If you’re not able to go to the conference, you can still share in the excitement and even network. Go to http://www.catholicwritersconference.com/ and see who’s going to be there. If a particular publisher or presenter interests you, go to their website and see if they have a Twitter account – and then follow them. It will quickly become clear who is tweeting and which threads have value for you and your situation. You can even jump in on conversations if you have salient points to contribute. One caveat here: Unless someone invites such, do not pitch via Twitter. And, as always with social media, remember to keep your tweets polite and on-subject.

Are you one of the lucky ones going to the conference? Tweet, blog, and Facebook your experiences. Engage your followers and create a ripple effect that no one else can. Encourage questions and/or discussions that you can facilitate simply by being present at the conference. Get on the Catholic Writers Guild blog and website. You have much you can share.

Like so many other enterprises we undertake as Catholics, it’s not ‘all about me.’ Be generous with your abilities and presence, whether it’s at the conference or from home. Support each other at the conference, and share with those unable to come. This is a unique opportunity to live your faith – evangelization in an unanticipated form!

Let’s all make this year’s Catholic Writers Conference Live the best ever!

When enough is ENOUGH

March 13, 2013/13 Comments/in Blogging/by Sarah Reinhard

A few weeks ago on Google+, I came across a comment that struck home with me.

Someone had written (slightly paraphrased):

Catholic blogs: so that one more person can comment on the Pope’s abdication and what Pope Benedict means to them.

Please STAAAAAAAAHP!

What made me +1 it was that I related. While I have been a total, completely uncharacteristic newshound since Benedict’s announcement on February 11, I’m sort of “done” with opinions about it.

That comment got me to thinking, though…sometimes, I don’t always recognize when I’ve had enough of something. I’ll keep going, often to the detriment of those around me (in real life and online). I just chug, chug, chug along, plowing through and not caring who or what I’m stepping on.

Recognizing when enough is ENOUGH is handy. Here are three ways I know when I’ve had enough:

1. When I’m getting angry.

Anger is a symptom for me. When things online–whether blogs, my own writing, social media content, whatever–are getting my dander up and my growling going, it’s time to call it enough. Done. Pause. Walk away.

2. When I’m neglecting the present and my primary vocation.

This is me talking to me: I have to remember the now, which is where I’m called to be. Maybe it’s time with my husband, maybe it’s care of children, maybe it’s my paying work. But my primary vocation and the present must not be trumped by the demands of my blog (or my social media presence, for that matter). I fail, yes. And I struggle.

3. When I’m talking out loud to my computer.

Sometimes this one happens because I’m so amused, though it can happen because I’m irate, too. I might be muttering to keep track of what I’m doing. But it’s usually a sign that there are frayed nerves or the need for fresh air.

So, chime in: how do you know when enough is ENOUGH?

Blogging through Lent

February 13, 2013/7 Comments/in Blogging/by Sarah Reinhard

Yes, I will keep blogging through Lent. Just like last year. And the year before. And the year before that. And…well, you see where this is going.

And, just like last year, I think it’s worth bringing up here.

Many people in the Catholic blogosphere give up blogging or other social media for Lent. Though I’ve never done it for Lent, I have had blogging and social media fasts/breaks for shorter periods, and it’s been a fruitful experience.

I think a fast of some sort from online interactions is a healthy thing. Whether it happens at Lent or at another point during the year, it’s something to consider.

Will you give up blogging and/or social media this year for Lent?

Managing Multiple Personalities

March 7, 2012/9 Comments/in Blogging/by Sarah Reinhard

Usually, in this space, I give you advice and pointers, but I find myself needing some direction and insight. Hey, I thought, why not tap into that group of writer friends over at the CWG blog?

Besides, this may be a problem you find yourself facing someday, so here goes.

I love social media. Most recently, I’ve discovered Pinterest, but my first love is Twitter. (If you don’t like or love or even get Twitter, no worries. I advise staying away if that’s the case. Don’t force it. Not so different from my ongoing advice about blogging, actually.)

Since I have a strong background in marketing (a whole degree, as the case may be), the thought occurred to me that, though I had firmly established myself in the Twittersphere as @peerybingle, I should make sure I also had user names that were part of my “brand,” namely @SnoringScholar (my blog name) and @SarahReinhard (my name).

Now, some might advise that I should trash @peerybingle (which is a reference to The Cricket on the Hearth) and go with my name. I’ve seen other well-known writers do that.

We sell books by our NAME, after all. We market who we are by our NAME, right? We are selling US, as in the NAME.

But…but…but! I LIKE @peerybingle. It’s fun, and, more importantly, it’s ME.

Oh, and, I’ve noticed there are other Sarah Reinhards. It’s not a unique name, really (though I like it very much, all the same).

There’s a business side of things. But for me, so much of what I do is ministry. So much of what I do is personal. And to get through the low pay and long hours, I have to enjoy myself to some extent.

What I’m trying to say is that @peerybingle STAYS. Period. It’s the “me” I like, the “me” I choose to be, and, really, the “me” who is honestly more like the Real Life Sarah than any of the others.

I have been manually managing things with my other identities using HootSuite. I’ve come up with some “rules” for how I use each identity:

–> My @peerybingle identity gets everything. My blog posts go there, as do links to all my columns and articles in other places, as well as all my thoughts throughout the day, links I like, and conversation. I follow people back, chime in, and get all goofy, serious, and Sarah.

–> For my @SarahReinhard identity, I only include links to my blog posts and links to other writing work I’ve done.

–> For my @SnoringScholar identity, I only include links to my blog posts.

YOUR TURN: Do you have this problem? What solutions have you found? I’m all ears (and eyes, as the case may be).

Does Blogging Lead to Podcasting?

February 15, 2012/10 Comments/in Blogging/by Sarah Reinhard

A few years ago, I attended a new media event as a fairly new blogger. I was raring to go and excited about my part in the New Evangelization.

It was a sore disappointment to me that, among the folks in attendance, the attitude was almost one of “so, when are you going to start to podcast?” It was as though podcasting was something you graduated into from blogging.

Blogging, in other words, was a stepping stone to podcasting.

Recently, I was emailing a writing friend and I told her she should share audio of some of her talks. The conversation then led to a mention of podcasting.

Which brought me back to the question at hand: does blogging lead to podcasting?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: maybe. Sometimes. It might.

The answer is no different than the discernment that needs to happen when you decide whether or not you’re going to blog.

Podcasting, generally, takes a different kind of effort than blogging, but it also reaches a sometimes much wider audience. One well-known Catholic media professional told me recently that, when she was at her height with podcasting she reached FAR more people than she does with all of her writing efforts combined.

But wait…if you’re wondering what a podcast is, here goes: it’s (often free) downloadable audio content. I use iTunes primarily, but there are other outlets for podcasts as well, including PodcastAlley. You subscribe to a show and it’s updated on your computer or mp3 device whenever a new show is released. (Want to learn more? Start here and follow the rabbit trail.)

Last week, in the comments to my post about being comfortable with “small blogging,” Jen Fitz said of blogging,

If you love it and are good at it, it’s a lot of punch for little or no financial outlay. Because you can set the pace and the topics, you can choose the amount of time and energy you put into it. And anyone can start a blog, whereas not just anyone can book speaking engagements, open up a rolodex of client contacts, get a great newspaper gig, etc etc.

She makes a point that’s valid to a discussion of podcasting as well: anyone can do it. It can be a “lot of punch” for the amount you invest.

But…I think it’s important to be good at it. (I think the same about blogging.)

I have discerned, over many years, that I am NOT going to start a podcast anytime soon. That said, I do dabble in some audio stuff, which I call podsquatting.

Podsquatting, in my world, is where someone else has the show and the production, and I provide segments. If you want examples, you can listen to my latest Mary Moment over at iPadre or my latest Mary in the Kitchen at Catholic Foodie.

So when someone asks me (and I’m sure they will) whether I plan to start podcasting anytime soon, rest assured that I’ll be saying a polite “No,” just like I always have.

YOUR TURN: Have you considered podcasting? What’s your idea for a show?
