I'm rewriting chapter 2 now. It deals with the crucifixation of Jesus.
I'm pretty sure when my parents read this book, they'll be upset to some degree. The book deals heavily with the topics of letting God down (not doing Godly things with your life, if you will) and the wrath of God. I invision quite a many Christians will be unhappy with my book.
The point is actually not to make a religious statement, but rather this: do not let others decide your path in life. Make choices for yourself, not because someone told you to do it this way or that something will happen in the future, so you should lead yourself to that.
Anyways, I hope my book will make that clear.
I'd like to get it done and published by April 26th so that I could put a thing about it in my alma mater's summer bulletin. they release a bulletin twice a year and in it they update on alumni's successes (as well as marriages, deaths, and births), if you submit about it. I'd like to be able to tell my fellow alumni about my book in hopes someone will buy it!
So we'll see.
I've got a pretty crap migraine, so I haven't done much work. Plus my friends that are helping me edit are also busy with their own lives (and books) so it takes a while for me to get their opinions.
So yeah, we'll see.
See, I would love to be able to put an announcement about it in the bulletin as well, but publishing under a pen name might make that a little difficult.
ReplyDelete:( I'm sorry I'm delaying too long with the last section you sent me. I made a lot of progress on my own novel yesterday so I should be able to work on yours today.
