I Have a Job

Today I start training for a waitressing job at the golf course next door so I'll be absent from the blogosphere.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Congrats on the new job, Jessie. How nice that it's close to home.

I wonder if there's a golf pro hero or heroine in your future.

So when you are writing full-time and Oprah interviews you, you can tell her that once-upon-a-time you waited tables. She'll be so impressed.

Hi Jessica,

I've been busy too...way too busy. I've missed the blogosphere, but hope to get back to it in full swing as summer resumes.

Best wishes in your new job. Waitressing is fun and fast-paced; I waitressed in no less than six restaurants, and loved each job!

God bless you this weekend.

Good luck with the job. I love your "about me" as a Christian mommy. Two of the most important labels out there!

No One's Perfect

We all have flaws, but our characters especially should have some, because what fun is there in reading about someone's perfect life? *grin* Since our MC's have a defining virtue, should they also have a defining weakness? What if their weakness is what causes some of the main conflict in the story? What if the weakness is in direct opposition to the MC's virtue? The characters must have something to struggle against, a temptation or a sin, as well as an outer conflict. What's your MC's biggest weakness? How does it define him or her? Does it propell the story? Do your characters ever fight the same kind of vices you do? After reading the Seekerville post on Moral Premise, I signed up for Natasha Kern's ACFW conference class, Vice and Virtue. Wondering what she'll talk about is turning the wheels in my head and give me some blog fodder.

Just Straight-up Say It

When it comes to writing an interesting character, I think the best ones are those who go verbal places we're afraid to. Sometimes they use subtext, sometimes speak the truth, straight-up. Or maybe your characters break some rules you would never dare to even imagine breaking? Maybe they expose themselves, make themselves vulnerable to other characters? Or do they demand things we've learned to only wish for? What's the wildest thing one of your characters has done? Would you do it?

Book Review and Giveaway!!! A Hope Undaunted By Julie Lessman

Reading Julie Lessman's books is like sitting down for my favorite soap for an hour of guilty pleasure. Her books pack a powerful spiritual punch though, and unlike a soap opera, her characters actually learn from their mistakes and repent. Her latest release is A Hope Undaunted . Below are some things she graciously shared with me. 1. Are there any scenes in AHU modeled after your own life? As a matter of fact, there are two things I pulled directly from my own life. The first is mentioned in the opening scene where we find out that Katie O’Connor was made fun of in kindergarten because of skin condition she had, which consequently molds her into a champion for the underdog and women’s rights. In that scene, an elderly nun asks Katie if she has leprosy in front of the whole class, and that kicks off a barrage of ridicule from her classmates, which is exactly what happened to me in the 2nd grade. You see, when I was in half-day kindergarten, I attended all day because my sisters an...
