Daeus Lamb

Our submission form is down at the moment. That’s probably why. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I’ll add that Dickie helped a lot. Without any theological pretensions, he’d shoot down Jesse when she was in skeptic mode, but helped restrain Matt from turning into a sermonizer or debater. I think his lack of any real aggression toward either side kept the situation laid-back.

@beth20 Ah! You’re just a little late. I already sent it off to my editor. Thanks for volunteering though. 🙂

Hey @eitan, I’m sure this isn’t a problem God hasn’t accounted for. 😛

If I had to guess, this is probably stemming from one of two causes.

I’ve honestly never thought about the pros and cons of revealing or hiding aspects of a character early on in a story. As I’m thinking about it, it seems the one thing I’d avoid is the completely mysterious character.
