Comment on Book Review: Two Christian Books about Vampires by David A. Bedford

Hear, hear! I agree we should be trend setters. That is exactly what I have attempted to do with my new novel, Angela 1: Starting Over. It’s the first of a series of three and the overall theme is “Where do we go from here?” If you would like to know more about it, please go to my website and check it out. Thanks!

AL: I admit, I usually don’t approve messages by people who are self-promoting their own books (I get a ton of them). However, you’re the one exception who actually has read my blog post. So I’ve gotta give you some credit.

For me, the best dialog is found in mysteries. It’s usually tight and fast-paced.

Congratulations!Keep going.

Comment on How Arguing is my Plague and my Joy by thecatsman

What an utterly delightful look into someone’s personality.Yes debate and devil’s advocate two things I tend to enjoy myself.Unfortunayly most of the people in my little section of the universe just don’t understand the fun to be had this way….Good for you……I’m still trying to get one person I know to understand that a good healthy debate is not realy an argument….Do you have a stubborn streak to go along with every thing else????? I realy enjoyed reading this..

Comment on Amy’s Marginalia: Tuesdays With Morrie by Mindanao Varsitarian

Well since Morrie was Jewish it’d make sense that he didn’t necessarily mention Christ as the ultimate answer to everything. And the way Mitch Albom writes his novels, he never really focuses on one religion but more on the central belief that we are all facing the same struggles and problems regardless of whatever religion we practice. By writing that way, he caters to more readers around the world.

AL: Thanks for your thoughts here. I’m of the belief that whatever religion or fundamental core beliefs we hold to, it shapes our writing and our other ideas. The literary criticism world calls it ideology. As a Jewish man, Albom’s core religious views shape all his writing, even if he isn’t aware that he’s doing it or is trying to suppress it in certain characters. Now, as a reader with a Christian worldview, I can’t force Albom to share my views, but I can interpret his ideas in light of my own ideology, my own Christian worldview. And, there’s also the idea that Truth with a capital T transcends all religions. I find Truth in Jesus, so anything expressing Truth will be aligned with him. A complex answer, but it’s a complex issue too.

LOL. The movie “Stranger than Fiction” becomes really interesting after doing Nano. When the writer meets her character come to life and exclaims that even his his shoes are as she imagined they would be floored me.
Who knew characters come with mannerisms, clothing preferences, sunglasses, and cars? Even details that you think you are just adding for filler actually play into the plot later…I had no idea that my character’s lambs wool sweater in the first scene shadowed so much.

I hope you enjoy the ride. Darn..wish I wasn’t over scheduled this month. My daughter is doing nano again too.

AL: I’d love to list Laura on my NaNoWriMo friend list, which is pretty shabby at this point. Looking to have others to spurn me on! If she’s willing to share, I’d love to have her profile name!
