character world setting
I love inventing worlds and characters and settings and scenarios.
jobs stories juniors
When I was a junior camp counselor and it was my job to tell the campers a bedtime story or devotional, I would tell them a rapture story.
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.
moving cutting thinking
As for dialogue, I think it keeps things moving to cut to the chase.
book writing years
I put off writing the first Left Behind book for a year because I got invited to assist Billy Graham in his memoirs, and had we known what we were putting off for a year, we might not have put it off.
unique roles fiction
Fiction has a unique role in conveying Truth. In fact, only fiction that is Truth with a capital T is worthwhile.
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.
community faith-community bad-marriage
Of course, bad marriages are so pervasive that they have invaded the faith community too.
christian mother home
I was raised in a Christian home and, in fact, my mother led me to Christ as a youngster.
christian made raised
I was raised as a Christian but the transaction has to be made by yourself - you and God - at some point.
book writing poetry-is
Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose.
sports stars book
While writing my first 90 books, I was magazine editor, publisher, book publisher, executive, etc., so I was established in publishing. three of my seven or so books were biographies of sports stars and really opened doors for me in that area.
book done smashing
Books that do a tenth of what Left Behind has done are smashing successes.
dream ideas competition
My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas.
