Sharon T. Hinton
Writing
Writing is a favorite pastime! Sharon has won several awards for Christian devotions, short stories and non-fiction essays. To Sharon, the best part of writing is teaching new and current writers how to enhance their skills and enjoy their writing more.
Spiritual Journaling is a major aspect of Sharon's writing. She is a certified "Journal to the Self ™" Instructor through the Center for Journal Therapy in Denver Colorado, and has taught Spiritual Journaling for Personal and Professional Growth in a wide variety of settings from small church groups to national professional conferences. In addition to the programs she teaches on Spiritual Journaling, Sharon has also developed several workbooks for those learning the subject. She is currently completing the requirements to qualify as a Certified Journal Facilitator.
Current Projects
Sharon writes both fiction and non-fiction. Currently, she is working on several fiction projects including a novel, short stories, and several Christian devotions.
