Hey Friends,
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to put something on your prayer list--not because anything is going badly, but because it's going well and I would love to insulate what looks like it will be a good thing for speculative fiction and the kingdom. A prime target for opposition, right?
I am working on getting my author's cooperative and conference organization, The Faith and Fantasy Alliance up and running. We're planning a spec-fic only writer's conference for August of 2013, and to looks like it's really going to be a go, as far as I can see from here.
Would you mind praying that the Lord would put a hedge of protection around those of us working on the nuts and bolts of this? I am really stoked that publishers are rallying around this idea--Marcher Lord Press being in the forefront of those supporters--and I would love if we could continue to gain momentum. I know it's too much to expect that we wouldn't have setbacks, but prayers that we navigate them well would be excellent.
I appreciate any support you'd be willing to lend in this way.
Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope your holidays thus far ahve been blessed.

Consider the first blow struck.

Been in situations where everything looks really good and started to wonder when the rug was going to be pulled out from under me. Will definitely pray.

fluke--precisely! That's why I figured some insurance would be helpful. I will be sure to let you all know the plans. At the moment I am working on the class options, but so far, we'll likely have one on how to walk through and plan a fight scene, sessions on how to critique as well as a small group critique segment, probably one on world-building, and I'm thinking of asking a certain person to talk about why Christians should write for the mainstream too. We're also thinking there needs to be some kind of dinner event on the second day where people are encouraged to wear genre-appropriate costumes.
