Andra,

Good calls on the commentary. I will look at the pitch tonight with the suggestions in mind. I want this puppy to be as tight as possible. Thanks!

This was a tag line with the hyperlink to an article that as a Christian fiction writer, you might be interested in. It touches on some of the very issues we've been writing back & forth about. The information appeared in the next-to-last current issue of the online SciTech Daily Review. Thought of our conversations as I read through the text. Figured you might be interested in reading it, too.



What will happen to religious belief in the coming age of Higher Tech?

Is it hard to write science fiction with a Christian world view? I suppose throwing characters into unknown circumstances would be a great way to show how their faith helps the characters through situations. Are there many books with this slant in your genre? Just wondering. Sounds like an interesting niche to write for.



I used to live with a minister & his family in CT. On my last blog I told about a true incident where he had me burn my journal book. I'd be very interested in your comments about the circumstance. Feel free to answer the poll there, or leave comments, if you like. Come check it out if you get the time?



Good luck in all that you do. It sounds like you have a good heart & are a nice lady. God bless you & yours. Keep finding & making reasons to smile.

Andra,



I usually have things printed as I go, and when I think of an edit or possible change, I write it on a sticky note and stick it on the first page of that scene. Then I write some more.



I try to do this for revisions as well--unless it's absolutely critical to the revision path I'm on, I don't go back and rewrite. I just make myself a note so I don't forget.
