The short story book and this contest are being organized as a prison outreach program. I intend to dedicate the book to Jay Lauser, and I intend to do my best to find a way to get it into jails and prisons.


Somehow I forgot about this detail... I'm trying to work on my foreward, so does anyone else want to take a stab at the wording of the dedication?

Okay, fine. I'll do it. Pick the one you like best.

This Anthology
Is Lovingly Dedicated
to Jaymes Darren Lauser

Dedicated
With Hope and Prayers
To Jay

Dedicated to Sir Emeth Mimetes
Our Founder and Friend

(See, we also have to pick a variation on his name, which is probably a choice best left to his family maybe?)

I like all of them. Which doesn't help, does it!

I like the second and third because they sound like they are written to a friend, whereas the first sounds more formal. Those are my initial thoughts anyway. :) So it just depends on how you want it to sound, if you're wanting it to be more formal I'd go with the first; I like with 'with hope and prayers' part of the second one. :)

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)
