I don't write LDS fiction either, but being LDS, it's a place for me. Provided any excerpts and posts are keeping in general line with no detailed sex scenes (getting very popular in various writing markets), minimal profanity, etc. We want it to be a welcoming place for other authors too who may not be LDS or writing for an LDS market, but who want a safer place to discuss writing without a lot of the trash on other writing boards that is popping up.Matthew Tandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428523619639430272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88245981941048300.post-45371065298030404082012-05-08T06:26:15.027-06:002012-05-08T06:26:15.027-06:00Sounds great!

As for the first person, I'm actually not a fan either, but after trying to write the book in third person, I discovered that this was a story that had to be told through Elaina's eyes.

It takes quite a bit of legwork to do the weekly news report, is it's gratifying to know people read it.<br /><br />Tristi, I have to agree with you. Mainly it's about individual preference. For me, I feel more motivated to blog than work on my novel sometimes, but I never do one without doing the other. So it's a tool, and I love both. For me, blogging sometimes does take a while because I am more content rich than some, but again, that's because it appeals to my broader writer desires.Matthew Tandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428523619639430272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88245981941048300.post-71462723099896367892011-08-06T11:31:32.029-06:002011-08-06T11:31:32.029-06:00You know, I have to disagree with the statement th...You know, I have to disagree with the statement that novelists shouldn't blog. If it's a time concern, blogging really doesn't take that long, when you compare it to all the other things we do, and I've found it to be my #1 best marketing tool. People come to my blog, read about me, feel a connection, and buy my books. Without my blog, I wouldn't have near the following I have.Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299727820026189951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88245981941048300.post-43572168884573145062011-08-06T11:16:34.767-06:002011-08-06T11:16:34.767-06:00Great post.
