I bring that up in the book. I've got to remember that I'm writing for God, not for those who aren't open to learning more about who God is.

However, I wanted to just say I agree with the excellent advice you have already received. Having read some of your work already, I don't think it comes across as preachy. You are writing what is important to you. When the first draft is complete, finding good CPs will be the time when you can explore this further. Good luck.Suzanne Furnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908200156114453054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840191354571235009.post-85851582944400736472013-09-08T00:06:01.569-07:002013-09-08T00:06:01.569-07:00I'm sure you can weave it in seamlessly and no...I'm sure you can weave it in seamlessly and not make it preachy, heavy, or out of place. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840191354571235009.post-71613707228478568362013-09-07T18:47:49.035-07:002013-09-07T18:47:49.035-07:00Lol!

It's not a Christian novel although the characters are Christian. So I think it's OK. Some people will like it, and some won't. Just write your story. :)Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840191354571235009.post-42337663416207760542013-09-06T15:58:45.653-07:002013-09-06T15:58:45.653-07:00You guys are all right.

So at three in the morning, here goes.<br /><br />Um, glad you like your "WIP", whatever that is! :) I think writing about a gay Christian is something you will do just fine with. You know what you need to do. Heck, I remember when "gay" meant happy and carefree. Yes indeed, I'm that old. I also know that "gay" is an acronym for "good as you". As for "IWSG", I found out it wasn't a group dedicated to me. <br /><br />Nancy, I'm already linked into your author's page on 'Farcebook' :)<br /><br />Take care, Nancy.<br /><br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840191354571235009.post-77440339793859032722013-09-05T18:32:47.942-07:002013-09-05T18:32:47.942-07:00And thanks for the like!And thanks for the like!Chancelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880082145266359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840191354571235009.post-42556762440757853602013-09-05T18:27:14.650-07:002013-09-05T18:27:14.650-07:00Thanks Brandon.
