This week I have a two part series for The Journey. Today is part one of The Journey with Kathleen E. Kovach. Please welcome her as she answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? I have told stories all my life. Before I could form letters, I would chatter in the backseat of the family car, spinning yarns that would make my older sister roll her eyes and declare, “Mom! Make her stop!” Once I learned how to write, my stories filled notebooks. Psalm 139:13 says … [Read more...]

A slight change to my fundraising
As everyone knows I have been trying to raise funds to not only start the Mariana Tunstall Scholarship Foundation but as of yet I do not have the money to be able to do everything that is needed (like starting a 501c3). I had converted my PayPal account to a nonprofit status even though I did not have everything set up yet. Well, this was a huge mistake as they ended up limiting my account. So I could not long accept money for the foundation as I technically do not have it set up the way it … [Read more...]

Starting to work on Mari’s book again
I think many of you know I had put off writing Mari's book for a little while but I may not have gone into why I did so. Through different writing forums I became apart of I found out the book I had completed would be a great one for family and friends as long as that is where it ended. But if I wanted it to be read by more than just people I knew then it needed to be done in a completely different way. One thing I kept being told is I needed to add fiction elements to her book. At first … [Read more...]
