Interview with Sandy Cooper from “God Speaks Today”
“God Speaks Today”
Because after years of journaling, I figured God wanted me to share some of the things He was teaching me with someone else. Besides, my journal never left me encouraging comments.
March, 2008
With rare exception, I tie each and every post in some way to hearing God’s voice. I love to give vulnerable and honest examples from my own life to show how God can speak to anyone–even the simple-minded–if we have a humble heart towards Him. On Fridays, I always talk about fitness and nutrition. I’m a health nut and I love to inspire others to be healthy, too.
Yes! Here are some things I wish I knew from the beginning:
1. Write good content.
2. Write often.
3. Read and comment on other blogs.
4. Respond to your commenters
5. Say it simply
6. Always look for ways to improve your writing and your blog, either in content or in presentation.
I try in some way to respond to all my visitors who comment. I realize that may not always be possible, but for now, it is, and I enjoy the community.
Only by force. Sometimes I drug them.
Whenever the children are sleeping and wherever they are not.
Probably 10-20 hours per week??? Yikes!
When I began blogging, the only blog I read was Lysa TerKeurst’s. I was so inspired by her daily writing that I decided I could do the same thing. Just not as well.
See above.
Watching my children. Time in the Word of God. Exercising outside. Music of all kinds. A good cup of coffee. The ocean. Relationships. Silence.
Blogging has radically changed my life in countless ways. First, it has given me a writing venue through which I have literally reached people around the world. It has caused me to become more disciplined and serious about my writing. It has helped me find my writing voice. It has opened up a world of new relationships with some of the most precious people I know.
