Stapp's The Great Divide

So I'm working through my second draft of my WIP, preparing for the Halo's Eve Project(six days and counting.) And I'm watching VH1. And I've stopped. Creed's former front man, Scott Stapp is rocking out his new cut, "The Great Divide." I'm loving it.

OT: Kashmir Quake Update

From Cadmus...

It's been a little over two weeks since the earthquake in Kashmir and the official death toll is 53,000 with 75,000 believed to be injured. The death toll out of the provinces gets closer to 79,000. The situation is terrible and relief is difficult. This should be getting a lot more coverage in the media than it is.

Anne Rice Comments

Thank you Cadmus for commenting on my blog entry yesterday. Cadmus of Cadmusings blog gave me a link to his anne rice entry that includes comments from the author herself. Christian Fiction Blog really appreciates this link, as we can learn more about what she personally has to say about her book and Christianity.

An excerpt from the comment thread. Anne Rice...

My novel is a complex attempt to make the Jesus of the canonical gospels real for those who never thought about jesus; but behind it is love, the driving force that keeps the universe working.

Ms. Rice, you can always stop by here. :)

7 Days to Halo's Eve

Christian Fiction is a week away from the Halo's Eve Project. Parallel to NANOWRIMO, we will be writing for thirty days, not on a new novel project. But on your current project, second or third drafts, hair pulling, hidden-under-the-bed novels. Pull them off. Dust them off. Your novel's time has come. And you will raise the stakes and submit the thing by month's end, as an early Christmas gift to yourself.

Week One. Raising the Stakes in Your Novel.

Are you ready? Have you told me what your book is about? Have you logged into the discussion board? Do you have a NANOWRIMO profile? Mine is in the board.
