Back of the Envelope

Well, I've finally submitted my story for the Faith-in-Fiction Conversion Story contest. As usual, the story wasn't so much finished as abandoned. I can always do another revision, and everytime I do I find something that absolutely must be changed. Despite the fact that I've had three different people read the third version and tell me that it looked good and they had no suggestions for improvement, I went through two additional revisions. There eventually comes a point when I have to say that's it, it's as done as it's going to get. Right now I'm just trying not to worry about it, since I know that if I do, I'll find yet another essential flaw in it.

At least now that I'm done I can start putting up real posts rather than cheap links to splattered birds and giant squids!

Okay, maybe not only in Boston, but I don't expect that too many churches have a writers' group. I've decided to get involved with the Soli Deo Gloria arts group at Park Street. They have a Writers' Group which meets on Monday nights for writers interested in getting published. It should be interesting, help to improve my writing, and give me a chance to discuss the theological issues which crop up when writing fiction. I'll let you know how it went.
