A Sin and A Shame
After her scheme to break up her best friend's marriage fails, Jasmine is ready to begin her new life. She attends church every Sunday, swears off married men, and begins her mission to find her soulmate. It doesn't take long to meet the one God has chosen for her - a pastor. (Isn't God good!) But when another man from her past threatens to destroy her perfect relationship, can Jasmine leave behind her lying and devious ways? Or will she find old habits hard to break?
Peretti & Dee's Publishing Dilemma
A movie adaptation of Frank Peretti's The Visitation is in theatres now. He and Ted Dekker coauthored, House, which will be on bookstore stands in April(click pic to preorder.) And his next big project is writing a screenplay for last year's summber hit, Monster. And you can learn more about all that he is up to at Crosswalk.com.
Question: In Peretti's crosswalk interview he speaks on the importance of waiting to hone your writing craft before you seek publication. When do you know that your skills are good enough to become published?
For me I've published articles for national print mags and I have won a few short story contests and even have a short story featured in an anthology(check the sidebar.) But in regards to writing novels, I'm not sure if its my time, yet. Although my published author pals think that it is. When did you know?
Come back for my review of House next month.
