As someone who writes about Catholic characters, I'm getting tired of being told I need to Christianize my word so it's acceptable.Donna Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242871850994009888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13007821.post-40513894688510858302007-11-15T15:08:00.000-06:002007-11-15T15:08:00.000-06:00Deb, I've heard comments like these from many othe...Deb, I've heard comments like these from many other authors in the CBA, and hopefully eventually, the CBA will listen. I'm reading a book by Marcia Laycock right now, in which the main character is a non-Christian from a rough background who smokes, drinks, swears... the whole shebang. And believe me, it's easy to identify with him, and I'm waiting to see where he gets to. :) Write real characters.

IMHO the CBA puts way too many roadblocks in the path of authors who are trying to be faithful to the vision God has given them and reach those who need to hear the message. So what's new? God's chosen people didn't treat the prophets very kindly either. LOL!<BR/><BR/>But there's more than one way to skin a cat. Ultimately there's no obstacle that can keep God's word for his people from going to go out into the world and returning an abundant harvest. So keep on keeping on. You're on the right track.J. M.
