@ericawordsmith Great. 😀
@seekjustice Yes, you can use that link. A review on Goodreads would be great, though I care more about Amazon. That’s where people actually shop.
@msqueen8 Yes, God of Manna 🙂

@corissa @taylorclogston Thanks!
@the-fledgling-artist It’s about 17,000 words, less than 70 pages. I’ll go ahead and send it.
@gabriellepollack Well, even within two weeks could work.

Hey guys!
I just released a dystopian, fairytale, allegorical novelette. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1093395915/
For this book, I’m using a particular marketing approach, and (doing things differently than I might normally) I ended up forgetting to seek out early reviewers! 😮 😮 😮
I’m mildly panicking now.…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic An argument — Christian stories don't just happen in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 week ago
@wordsmith I read most of what you wrote. Skimmed a little.
Anyway, I think I agree with the basic point — it seemed to be that you don’t have to have a mapped out super-plan for how to promote a Christian message in order to write a Christian novel.
Writing tends to be an expression of who we are, which often works out well. I do think though…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb commented on the post, How Should Christian Authors Depict Violence? 1 week, 3 days ago
Well, personally I can’t see how traumatizing or putting dark or fearful thoughts in readers’ minds can be reconciled with Christian love. While I’m no expert on the genre, I think this rules out some common tropes in horror fiction. However, horror itself is a proper response to horrific things. So to write horror as a Christian writer, write so…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic What's the hardest thing about being a writer? in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 2 weeks ago
@kate Hey, Lord willing, your writing will impact a lot of lives. Sure thing.
For my part, I struggle most with delays and uncertainty. Delays, because they always make me feel like a failure for a while, and uncertainty because being blind to my own work is humbling and Daeuses don’t humble as easily as they should. 🙁
With delays, the most…[Read more]

Greetings folks,

@pursuewisdom Hey, sorry I’m flooding you from every direction. I can’t seem to get a hold of you. Probably you’re just on vacation or something, so I apologize if I’m being a nuisance.
Anyway, I have everything set to go with God of Manna and may very well launch it this Saturday, except I wanted to get your feedback on the symbolism first and…[Read more]

I wanted to share an epic youtube channel I recently stumbled upon.
It’s called Shadiversity. It’s mainly about medieval weapons, armor, and castles and the guy answers just the type of questions writers want to know. (He’s a writer himself.)
It’s excellent if you writer HF and even better for if you write fantasy since he tackles fantasy…[Read more]
