I like to challenge myself to focus on what other writers aren't doing, this helps me find different ideas and keeps me writing. :) <br /><br />DebraDebra Weisshttp://www.DebraWeiss.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-12856774018825919332011-02-09T17:02:30.019-08:002011-02-09T17:02:30.019-08:00Yes, why Christian & not secular?

I could be wrong on that but also you can still be a great witness with a Christian publisher tooPetunianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-62773709574675973892011-02-09T16:51:42.972-08:002011-02-09T16:51:42.972-08:00Tonya that sounds exhausting!

It depends on the subject matter and the publisher. But YA is the general label that encompasses all those age brackets.<br /><br />There are always variables of course. For instance, a book could have a main character be a child and it still not be considered a YA because of subject matter. Such as Mary DeMuth's "Watching the Tree Limbs" novel. <br /><br />Just FYI! :)<br /><br />As for "why Christian fiction" - what exactly do you mean? As in, why try to publish Christian publishers instead of "secular"?Betsy St. Amanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326874709264159191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-4362258047358516442011-02-09T13:33:53.913-08:002011-02-09T13:33:53.913-08:00Great post!

Even if Amish goes out Beverly Lewis will still probably do well! & Karen Kingsbury has practically created her own genre!<br /><br />Im in the progress of moving & it reminds me a lot of staging our house! It's so important to buy decorating things & staging the house so it'll appeal to buyers but all my belongings come along with me after the house is sold. So when buying things I have to be aware of what others find attractive while being true to myself & what I love because I have to live with it! Does that make sense?Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-49453616822935468892011-02-09T10:56:10.976-08:002011-02-09T10:56:10.976-08:00Questions for future posts:
