Discover The Adventure: June 2015
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. Ten Principles to Overcome Envy and Jealousy. Have you ever wanted to be like someone else? Have you ever wanted to be like that person so badly that you found yourself salivating at the thought of having their skill or popularity? Maybe you’ve said something like, “If I could just sing like her … .” or “If I could only kick the ball like him … .”. It’s easy to get caught in the current. I know. I’ve been there. In my suspense novel, Light Out of Darkness. One artist’s envy o...

Discover The Adventure: A Real-Life Story of Faith and Valor
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-real-life-story-of-faith-and-valor.html
Thursday, June 4, 2015. A Real-Life Story of Faith and Valor. Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Dedicates less than a page to the Waldensians of the Cottian Alps west of Turin, Italy. Yet, their real-life story of valor and enduring faith in the midst of persecution in Europe throughout the second millennium AD touched and encouraged my heart so much that I wanted to bring their story to life in a contemporary suspense novel that would give wings to courage and enduring faith in our time. The Waldensian story live...

Discover The Adventure: May 2015
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. A few days ago, I received a note from a friend that touched my heart and led me to think about perseverance. What does it means to press on or persist in spite of a struggle or trial. Does it matter if I choose to quit in the face of great odds? When is it time to admit defeat? We’ve all heard the stories of people whose great perseverance through adverse circumstances inspire us. We admire their tenacity to keep pressing forward. Practical Reasons for Perseverance. Dopamine....

Discover The Adventure: April 2015
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. Two days ago, I sat in the café/bookstore of a megachurch in Orange County, California, praying for inspiration to write this blog, when I discovered that I had “stumbled” upon their weekly corporate staff meeting. My heart fell. “Oh no, Lord! 8221; I prayed. “You know I came here to gather my thoughts and come up with a brilliant blog idea. What are you doing? 8221; I groaned as people poured into the room, creating a cacophony of voices surrounding and invading my space. Final...

Discover The Adventure: The Writer’s Journey, A Search for Friendship
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015/07/has-market-changed-for-christian-fiction.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. The Writer’s Journey, A Search for Friendship. In many ways, a writer’s journey becomes the reader’s journey. Writing is more than just putting words on a page. It’s an opportunity to find the story within a story, digging to find the nugget that makes the story come alive for the reader. If done well, it creates a connection between the author and the reader—that “Aha! 8221; moment where there is a magical unity of the human spirit. Some writers are drawn more to the art. Donna...

Discover The Adventure: August 2015
http://donnawichelman.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Historical Research: Fact or Fiction? Regardless of the genre, most writers I know do some amount of research to maintain integrity and authenticity in their material. It just comes with the territory. Even when the story is mostly a fictional tale, there is usually something that requires a Google search or query of an expert. 8221; questions. That’s how my current Waldensian series ( www.donnawichelman.com. Does it contradict original sources? Unfortunately, it’s not alway...
