I have benefitted from both his teaching and his generosity. If you can possibly come to this conference to learn from this master craftsman and humble servant of Christ, then do it.

Because he had such a reputation as a man of God, I believed that he was trustworthy. As a sexual abuse survivor, I hate to tell you how few men in my life, I will even try to trust. When I read his Shattering the Silence website, I became a fan. Such poignant, honest writings about childhood pain touched me deeply. His reputation surely precedes him and I can't wait to come to the conference and meet him. I love what he would want written on his tombstone: He cared. This most certainly sums up the life of the Man Behind the Words.<BR/>I am coming to this conference to learn. This blog has already started my education into the writing field and it is a wonderful contribution given to those of us who will be attending. Thank you very much!<BR/><BR/>Many blessings,<BR/><BR/>Donna Collins Tinsley <BR/>shoutlife.com/thornrose7Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557725016567340585.post-79771733136627128262009-02-03T22:52:00.000-05:002009-02-03T22:52:00.000-05:00This man Cec calls himself a curmudgeon--at least,...This man Cec calls himself a curmudgeon--at least, when it comes to being a learning writer's taskmaster, whether on The Writer's View Two, by email, or in person. (Those who've met him know his true kind nature.)I've experienced his loving but blunt critiques at two of his mentoring clinics, and two of the pieces he critiqued and worked with me on placed in contests. <BR/><BR/>While in our area for the most recent clinic, he was gracious enough to speak to our writers guild and also agreed to meet with a friend of mine to look at her writing. <BR/><BR/>I can only add I'd love to be in Florida taking in more of Cec's wisdom and enjoying a chat with him.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755345156217722141noreply@blogger.com
