This is an opportunity to get an "in" with a Christian publisher! Basically, this week, if you submit a blurb about your main character 50 words or less, you might get awarded the privilege of submitting a proposal. Of course, you can just submit for feedback as well - just state that you don't want to be considered for a proposal when you send your submission email.

More details (along with a great post about character) here: http://nextgenwriters.com/2012/01/02/you’ve-got-character-baby/

By the way, I've worked with Roseanna White and she is really sweet, so don't be nervous ;)

I wrote one (the one I showed you) and then my brother accidentally deleted it :P

So, I'm off to rewrite it and that other one I promised to write...

The Rainbow in the Storm- My Blog

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)
