When I started writing novels, I was already a published playwright. I knew … uh, learned how to write realistic dialogue. I had a good idea for Biblical novel. I was absolutely sure it would be published. After all, what's not to love about a good Biblical novel?
A lot apparently. I learned that dialogue isn't all I needed to know, and at that time, Biblical novels weren't selling—or being picked up by publishers.
So, I settled in to learn. Along the way, I developed a library of writing books. I read them and applied what I learned. I developed relationships with other writers, some of whom became close friends and critique partners. One has been a CP since the early 2000s.
