Hello all! I'm really glad to be a part of this conference. It gives me a chance to meet some new folks and keep in touch with others (Shout outs to Mary, Sheila and Miss Thomas). I've got my note pad ready, ladies.

I'm curious to know about your next book. Can everyone tell us a little about your next book or current book and what motivated to tell this story?
LaShaunda - 00
P.S. Thanks again for participating.
I feel like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. (I'm late! I'm late!) Sorry things got kicked off without me, but I'm going to keep checking the thread throughout the conference. My first book, MADE OF HONOR comes out in January 2006 and it's about a woman who's been ten times a bridesmaid and thinks she's seen it all. Will wedding number eleven show her what she's made of? (You know it will...) Anyway, glad to be here. Hi LaShaunda, Sheila, Jeanette, Lyn...
Blessings,

What advice do you have for an aspiring Christian fiction novelists. I've plotted out my story and have started to write, but I'm having trouble sticking to a schedule. Are there any strategies that you have used? Should I be writing my novel with a particular publisher in mind?
Saundra,
My first piece of advice (I'm reluctant to give any, but here goes) is to finish your book. I could tell you all sorts of other things, but none of them will mean much until you've completed that first draft. From there, I'd suggest finding a critique group or buying some writing books and starting the editing process. There are guidelines for certain genres or publishers, but I'd still recommend completing the manuscript before getting too wrapped up in that. It wouldn't hurt to look at the writer's guidelines for some of the publishers of the christian fiction titles you most love to read.
Hope that helps,
Mary Griffith
