The Challenge of Writing Inspirational Fiction, Part 1

As mentioned in a previous post, I’m on a journey to develop and finish volume one in my new inspirational cozy fiction series, the Sisterhood of Shepherds, by June 30th.

Thought some of you might be interested in coming along for the roller coast ride.

If you’ve read the earlier post, you’ll know I pitched the series concept to Guideposts and got the thumbs down. Ouch!

After a couple of days (well, a week really, but who’s counting?) consuming chocolate, I made the same pitch to some agents, two of whom requested the complete manuscript.

So, I’ve been at it most days; thinking, biking, munching, scribbling, mulling, walking, more munching and the occasionally typing.

Believe it or not, I’ve produced 30,000 or so word gems and the story’s taking shape. Good news: I’m half finished. Bad news: I’m half not finished.

Today, 913 words; tomorrow…?

Stay tuned; I might even let you read some of it!
