Jerry B. Jenkins American Novelist Quotations

People want to find out what happens to the characters, and want to keep reading, and turning the pages.

He just kind of talks them through, and then I get the fun part cause I get to make up the stories.

Good fiction must be entertaining, but what makes fiction special - and True - is that the realness of a novel allows it to carry a larger message.

Tim sends me a fairly ambitious workup in notebook form noting the passages we're going to cover and the chronology of the biblical events, and his commentaries on those things he's read and written.

In the prequel we're going to tell about the characters before Left Behind, and the book would end with the rapture instead of start with the rapture like the first one did.

Actually SOON has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.

There is a comfort zone of knowing where things are going and having characters in place, but the action gets more and more dramatic and is very challenging to describe.

Funny, I don't feel any more powerful today than yesterday.
