Whitney: <br /><i>"We shall yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own. God's ammunition is not exhausted. His highest spirits are held in reserve for the latter times. In God's name and by His help we will build up a literature whose tops will touch the heaven, though its foundation may now be low on the earth."</i> <br />In your opinion, how can we as LDS authors reach such lofty aspirations?Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445455787485222068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-51739058021221499592009-10-29T13:29:53.233-06:002009-10-29T13:29:53.233-06:00I DARE you to sign up for NaNo!

And as far as it goes, I do see his point that the mass market doesn't seem to be exactly overflowing with books that present positive messages and role models. I am a bit skeptical, and would prefer to write for a wide audience, just keeping the positive role models and messages.<br />As a publisher, does my Dad's approach make sense? Is there a huge demand in the LDS culture for fiction written specifically to and for them?<br /><br />Oh, and as far as the NaNoWriMo goes, yeah, go for it. It's not like you'll be tarred and feathered if you don't make it, and you may write more than what you otherwise would have in November, which will be a bonus.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382876506038066469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-43273702088555573262009-10-29T12:28:56.911-06:002009-10-29T12:28:56.911-06:00OK, I'll bite.

It's a National Book Award winner. It's about a young high school aged girl, set in the early 1950s. It's touted as a "historical" novel.<br /><br />So, what makes it "historical" rather than "young adult?"<br /><br />Yes, one of the characters is recently returned from WWII. The scenes and settings all depict how conditions were back then. But, in my opinion, it could as easily been set in 2009 with the soldier returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. So, what qualifies this book to be "historical?"Paul W.
