Writer's Learning Community:
Empowering the Writer Within
Special Opportunity to Grow as a Writer!
Dr. Rich Weigel, President of CCNI, will be hosting a Learning Community for writers. This is an opportunity for Christian Coaches who feel they have been called to write – to find a community of other believers who also feel that calling. This learning community will meet one time each month for three months commitment. (August-October). You will need to register for EACH month.
Our CCNI Writer’s Learning Community (WLC) is a project that is the embodiment of what we as Christian Coaches believe. We all need a coach to help us to reach our potential. We need someone to will help us to discover what we want and then walk along side to help us build our motivation and accountability. So it is with our writing.
Quoting from Mark Batterson in his book Chase the Lion, “We don’t get where God wants us to go by ourselves! If we go it alone, we’ll get lost somewhere along the way. Then who’s going to pick you up when you fall down? And who’s going to push you to your potential.”
If you believe that God has called you to write, then this may be just the venue for you. As a Writer’s Learning Community, we meet monthly for just one hour. During that time there will be one person who shares something they do for writing. (Like the person who says they take their shoes off to write because they believe that it’s like holy ground.) We will talk about accountability, set a goal for what we will have done by the next time we meet, and we will do breakout rooms, so you’ll talk to other writes in a small group.
What have you been writing? Are you ready to take it to the next level. That is another facet of what we’re going to do.
Like the Inklings of old, (the writer's group that included C.S Lewis and J.R. Tolkien), we are bringing together people who feel the need to share what we are writing. But unlike them or any other form of a writer’s community, we are Christian brother and sister coaches who have the skills to encourage, critique, correct, argue, advise, and push each other to get our writing done always with the view of giving God the glory.
If you’re feeling the Holy Spirit’s push to write, then this may be a tool to help you move toward discovery of what to do with that push.
Purpose of this group:
- To support Christian Coaches who want to write.
- To build Christian writers to influence the culture.
Outcome:
We will encourage and push each other to new levels and improvements of our writing.
Who should participate:
Christian Coaches who are ready to write – right now.
Time and Date:
4th Monday's of .the month, 5:30pm Eastern Time
Dates for the Three-month Writer's Learning Community are
- Aug 23, 2021
