A few years ago, I
attended my first writers’ conference, the Asheville Christian Writers
Conference. The sweet lady who critiqued my first chapter looked me in the eye
and said, “You write like a guy.”
I thought, Great. John Steinbeck, James Patterson, or Jerry
Jenkins?
Not what she had in
mind.
She went on to explain I
had the action and the setting, but I was leaving out the personal side, the
emotions and internal thoughts of the protagonist.
