an exercise I got from the itunes podcast "writing challenges" which says to open a book at random, point to a word, take the three words before and after, write it on a piece of paper. take one of these papers out every day, write the seven words and then freewrite for five minutes without stopping, thinking, or anything but writing. five minutes has not been long enough for me so I've gone to six, and if the story is not done, I now mark where I was at six minutes and then type until the story has some kind of ending.

why i'm here

I am creating a Christian sci-fi book and in the process of researching other Christian authors have discovered the need to spread the word about Christian fiction. I did not think there were as many people out there interested in C sci-fi because I hadn't really heard of it. Upon going to the Family bookstore and finding only a couple books which could be labled C sci-fi or fantasy, I realized that if someone were interested, just going to a Christian bookstore would not reveal how many good books are out there. I have read Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, but they were not exactly the style of writing I desire to read. I recently found James Somers and LB Graham. The former writes C sci-fi, and the later C fantasy. I haven't read any of their books yet, but at least there are some writers out there in this genre that have published works! I can't wait to get a large chunk of homework done so I can read them. I am currently reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It is a classic sci-fi book (so I am told), so since a friend had it I borrowed it until I can afford to buy one of the Christian author's books.
