On Being a Writer, host Nancy Kuykendall

Sixty to Sixty-One years ago a moment occurred that included a gift I still have today.

Story from a check-out line experience.

Two short stories of moments I wanted to say no to a situation but needed to say yes, putting selfishness aside.

Our lost cat was found.

Sharing the moments of birthing a new book into the world.

Our cat responds to her masters voice.

The smallest unexpected gift or encouraging word can make someone’s day special.

The written word can stir strong emotions within us. This is true for readers and authors. Every author wants to give their readers a good experience in one way or another. Books entertain, teach, cause food for thought, and connect us to each other.

A moment that gave me the answer to need.

In this first episode I tell the story of how I became an author—what started me writing. Today is the ten year anniversary of beginning my writing journey, answering God’s call. Since this podcast is about sharing significant moments that occur in our lives and how they can change affect us and change us, I share two of mine.
