While you're surfing the net looking for news about Hurricane Gamma, veer your board to Crosswalk.com. There's an article on the Christy's and the emergence of better written christian fiction.
Got this tip from Tolkien via Debra Murphy at Idyllist Press.
There cannot be a story without a fall.
Isn't that a great tip? I wrote this quote down a while back. And now as I read through my entire manuscript, that sentence haunts me. Something bad must happen to Laurel or had happened to Laurel. Something bad had to happen period. It's hard to hurt your characters even when they keep you up at night. But there isn't a story without Frodo getting his throat rung a time or two. Right? How are you assaulting your main character?

Good comment. Seems like I'm always too easy on my characters. My crit friend says I struggle more than most to make them hurt. LOL
Why do you struggle so much? Is it a Christian value thing or are you just a sweet softy. :)
