You really want me to introduce myself?

Hey Everyone! I’m Susie (obviously). Originally from Seattle, but I’ve been living in Texas for 7 years now, working with Youth With A Mission. As far as reading: does “anything that I can get my hands on” count as a genre? Still working on refining my writing, but I enjoy journaling, and have started doing a bit of fiction, just for fun.

Oh, and I’m a major music/concert junkie, if you want to know something random and completely nonessential about me.

Hey! I’m Alene from Corpus Christi, Texas. I love reading mostly self improvement books intertwined with Christian non-fiction. I’m a speaker, teacher, and writer. I’ve struggled with a “voice” in writing. After a recent survey most said they’d prefer for me to write more bible study/devotional material. Excited for the direction ahead.

I have scaled back my photography gigs, but I love love love my camera and telling a story through the lens. Anybody want to take me on their mission trip as their photographer? just asking . . .

Hi! I’m from London (Ontario not England). In addition to my fiction writing, I’m a fulltime freelance writer published across Canada specializing in marketing copy for faith-based non-profits, and short non-fiction pieces for magazines and newspapers. I specialize in interviews, profiles, and social justice initiatives. I’m passionate about making the world a better place one get-off-your-butt-and-do-something article at a time.

I’m a call-it-as-I-see-it truth teller, history nut & dog-owning cat lover. I’m co-writing a historical fantasy re-imagining the origins of the King Arthur legends.
I blog at http://www.lisahallwilson.com. I tweet, but Facebook is my playground. http://www.facebook.com/lisawilsonwriter

Hi,

I’m Josh and I am glad to be able to be a part of this first class of Tribe Writers. I currently work in IT and have always dreamed of being a writer. Yes, I’m one of those “I want to be a writer someday” guys. Hopefully this class will help me to change that.

I live in the Seattle area with my wife and three boys, four if you count our 8 pound ferocious ball of fluff, Iggy The Pup who believes he is a human price rather than a Maltese.

I currently blog at http://www.StrongerFeet.com on fitness related items currently (I’ve changed this multiple times) and have not yet found my niche as I keep changing what moves me to write.

I’m sure we will all get to know each other better as the course progresses and I am looking forward to learning not only from Jeff but each of you that decided to take this course.

Hi Everyone!

I’m Dave and I hail from Porter Ranch, CA (near Los Angeles). I am entering a new season of life & ministry where I will have more time to write both for work and for personal. By day, I work in the Facilities group of a large aerospace firm focusing on next-generation workplace design which includes writing & researching (love it!!).

I am just finishing up an term as Elder of my church and am entering a season of rest & refreshment. I love to travel and have spent the last few years as a visual storyteller with a missionary friend of mine. I love to take my camera and share the stories through lens as well as through the writing. I can be found taking pictures and sharing stories at http://everydaysnapshots.com.

Great to meet everyone!

Hi all! I’m James and I’m from Sutton in the UK. I’ve been writing for a long time, but only in recent years have I taken it seriously. I’m part of a growing church community near London and love to write, watch films, read and watch a bit of sport.

My passion is to share my journey with others and help us all discover and become the people we were created to be, to be human in the way we were designed to be human. I like to be real, honest and authentic in my writing and tell my story. I’m also committed to helping people write better stories with their lives, to live a meaningful life.

I do this through my writing, which I do largely on my blog, http://www.jamesprescott.co.uk - I’d love you to read and to tell me what you think!

I’m really excited by this course, it’s a very exciting and challenging adventure and Jeff has so much wisdom for us all - and I’m looking forward to exploring this and putting it into practice. Really wish the best for all of you, think it’s going to be good!

Hi everyone,

This is Shawn from Tallahassee, Florida. The journals lining my shelves at home and the varied quotes on my bulletin board at work give evidence to my enjoyment of words and the power that comes from using them well. I enjoy writing for myself but feel a push to do more of it in public for the benefit of others. This is why I am here. I look forward to learning from and contributing to the group.
