A Passion Project

February 12, 2022 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Words matter

Back in 2009, I started posting weekly prayers for writers in an email group. After a few years, one of the leaders in the group suggested I keep those prayers and think about publishing them one day. About two or three years ago, I moved the prayers out of my email program and into a Scrivener document, thinking I would finally get around to organizing them. And there they sat.
