Feeding on the Word, James 1:2- 4

By on January 12, 2012 in Nurturing the Soul

I love James. Do you know this James was the Lord’s brother, not the apostle. Anyway, he says it like it is and some times, we need to hear truth, straight up. Okay, show of hands. Who’s perfect? (Shh, Suz, put your hand down… ) None of us. We are by nature flawed and sinful. The first time your dear, darling one year old looks you in the eye and utters their favorite word, “No,” in definae, we understand the sinful human nature. Our fictional characters are also flawed. Otherwise we can’t write them with sincerity and truth. We can’t engage readers, either. As much as we try to minimize our flaws, or even avoid trials, they are necessary to face. Here’s waht James write: Consider it all joy, my […]

The Fast Draft – Should you or shouldn’t you?

By on January 5, 2012 in Author Mistakes, Editing Basics, How do I Fast Draft?, Rachel Hauck, Writer's life

I’m fast drafting a novel right now. Last night, after dinking around all day, I told myself to “get to it” and blasted out 2000 words in an hour. Give or take a minute or two. I’m near the end of a book so I know a bit of what’s going on. I have a feel for the characters and the story. Those random conversations characters have together started running randomly through my head a few weeks ago. Next week, I’ll end this fast draft and start rewriting. Most of the beginning of the story will change, I already know. The middle needs a lot of tweaking. With that in mind, I hope my ending is the most stable part of this fast, first draft. I’ll have things at the […]
