Questions for Readers
If you consider yourself a reader, what sort of books do you like to read? What makes you, the reader, satisfied with a book. Here's a little questionnaire to help writers write better, just for you!
- Do you read literary fiction, genre fiction, or both?
- If you read genre fiction, do you read just one genre or more than one?
- What are your favorite genres?
- What do you like and/or dislike in a fictional Hero?
- What do you like and/or dislike in a fictional heroine?
- Are there any plots you especially like in a book? Why?
- Are there any plots you especially dislike in a book? Why?
- What makes you first pick up a book?
- What makes you put a book down without finishing it?

Ice
Okay, so the ice is a little hard to see in this tiny picture, but ordinarily you can't see the branches of the trees much when they are leafless. So far, we haven't lost power, for which we're praising God, but some people in town have. It's currently above freezing, but supposed to drop below and be frozen tonight & tomorrow..... Slippery!

Happy New Year?
2008 went by in a blur. So many things happened that it's hard to keep track. I wrote two books, for one thing. Yes, really. I'm amazed, too.
I'm not going to go into a huge reminiscence about 2008. I'm looking forward to this year. So many possibilities. So many opportunities. A new year in which to get things right.
So what are my hopes for 2009? I hope that you, whoever you are, wherever you are, will find real hope for the future, in the Biblical sense of "steadfast assurance." I hope that you will decide not to let circumstances get in your way or get you down. I hope that you will learn the true meaning of joy, not just happiness. I hope you find your joy in the Lord.
With that said, I wish for you, not an ephemerally "happy" new year, but a blessed one!

NaNoWriMo Starts Today...
...so if you think I've been a bad blogger before (and I have, I freely admit), you may not see me again until December. On the other hand, who knows? I may just pop in here from time to time just to see how you're all doing!
So far today, I have written CHAPTER ONE and one, count 'em, one sentence. Hoping to improve that score before the day is done, DV.
