american-novelist characters dramatic gets zone
There is a comfort zone of knowing where things are going and having characters in place, but the action gets more and more dramatic and is very challenging to describe.
character world setting
I love inventing worlds and characters and settings and scenarios.
christian character heart
We at the Christian Writers Guild couldn't be more proud of Brandy Vallance. Let her debut novel transport you to an entirely fresh time and place where you'll soon forget you're turning pages and find yourself riveted to the destinies of characters who'll leave a lasting impression on your heart.
writing character discovery
SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.
character ideas mind
The theater of the mind is impossible to compete with, and I like the idea that with a few suggestions, each reader forms in his or her own mind what a character or a place looks like.
american-novelist characters instead left
In the prequel we're going to tell about the characters before Left Behind, and the book would end with the rapture instead of start with the rapture like the first one did.
american-novelist
Funny, I don't feel any more powerful today than yesterday.
american-novelist people
People want to find out what happens to the characters, and want to keep reading, and turning the pages.
imminent people sensitive soon
It's made me more expectant of the imminent return of Jesus, and also more sensitive to the people around me. Knowing Jesus will return soon makes me want all the more to tell people about him and all that he offers.
american-novelist cover fairly form notebook passages sends tim
Tim sends me a fairly ambitious workup in notebook form noting the passages we're going to cover and the chronology of the biblical events, and his commentaries on those things he's read and written.
american-novelist behind believe left less soon
Actually SOON has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.
death people scared
People are scared to death and they're looking for something beyond themselves.
american-novelist carry fiction good larger novel realness special true
Good fiction must be entertaining, but what makes fiction special - and True - is that the realness of a novel allows it to carry a larger message.
american-novelist talks
He just kind of talks them through, and then I get the fun part cause I get to make up the stories.
