Editing, continued

I'm continuing to work on my editing project. I finished my first read-through tonight. This time through I just focused on grammar. The next read-through, I will concentrate on content. I'm enjoying this project. This is something I wouldn't mind doing more of.

Why Bother Writing? Here's Some Encouragement

 Why bother writing? I admit that this is a thought that has crossed my mind more than a few times lately (and by lately, I mean many of the last twenty years that I have been writing). It is hard to keep going when book sales and page views are minimal and the income produced is far below minimum wage. It is hard to see so many books out in the world with tons of reviews and sales and know that by comparison my work has failed (and by extension, I have failed), that very few people care about anything I write. To be fair, there are many writers in the same boat as me. Of course, I'm not actually able to stop writing, at least not without feeling even worse. God gave me this gift. I have all these ideas that need to get out or else they just sort of bubble inside of me if I don't work on them, taking up mental space that is better used for other tasks.   On my better days, I do realize that writing for one person matters, that perhaps a few someone's lives are a bit better...

      The Lord is My Shepherd: A Novel of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is free on Kindle May 15th -19th.    The Lord is My Shepherd: A Novel of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton by Anne Faye is a lovely story of a courageous woman who loved God, overcame suffering, and pursued the truth relentlessly.   She supported and raised five children as a widow and went on to found schools and a religious order.   I thoroughly enjoyed this book. An easy and comfortable read, it held my attention from start to finish. I think adults, young adults, and even teens would profit from reading it.  - Rosemary Bogdan, on CatholicMom.com An excerpt from The Lord is My Shepherd Chapter One I entered this world on August 28, 1774, the second daughter of Dr. Richard and Catherine Bayley. My mother was the daughter of Rev. Richard Charleton, the rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopalian Church on Staten Island. I sometimes wonder how my life might have been different had my mother ...

Five Rules of Incorporating Faith into Fiction

Today, I am thrilled to host Karina Fabian as a guest blogger. By day, Karina is a mild-mannered reviewer of business software and services for TopTenReviews.com. After hours, she’s a psychic intent on saving the world; a snarky dragon who thinks he saves the world all-too regularly, a zombie exterminator who just wants her world clear of undead vermin, and Catholic religious sisters whose callings have taken them off our world. Needless to say, her imagination is vast, her stories legion, and her brain crowded. When she’s not converting her wild tales to stories, she’s enjoying time with her husband, Rob, their four kids, and their two dogs.   Her new work of Catholic Science Fiction, Discovery , is now available. Five Rules of Incorporating Faith into Fiction With the Enlightenment era came an anti-religious fervor that not only permeated science and philosophy but also literature. Now, some 200 years later, the pendulum is swinging back, and people are again interest...
