Just a short link to share today, but one well worth your time. Go to the Superstars Writing Seminar site and scroll down to the middle of the page where it says “Tracy Hickman Story”, then listen to the .mp3. It’s a recording of an incredible story Tracy related at the seminar a few weeks ago. In the first 30 seconds or so, you may be wondering “wha?”…but keep listening. Trust me, it’s worth it – an amazing story about how our writing can effect people in ways we’d never have imagined.
