Douglas Clarke posted a discussionLooking for an Illustrator
Hello Everyone,I am writing a children's picture book and need to connect with an illustrator. It is targeted at 2 to 7 year olds. It asks the question, "Am I to young to do God work?"This is part of my personal out reach to families who want to serve but don't know who to with young children. I'm planning on self publishing and giving copies to local churches. If it ever makes money I would like to split the profits 50-50. On the other hand if someone wants to do the work for a reasonable…See More
Douglas Clarke posted a discussionA Christian Stort - A Shepherd' Stories
Last night is a night I’ll never forget. It started out like ever other winter night - cold and a little windy - the wind always seems to pick up when the sun goes down. Well anyway, I had finished eating my dinner and herding all the sheep into the little box canyon where I keep them at night. I left my dog there to watch them and went over to Joshua’s fire - he always has something warm to drink.Samuel and Joseph joined us. As we sat and talked we started to play dice. It’s what we do every…See More
Douglas Clarke posted a blog postA fictional Blog by a fictional character on a fictional planet about our amazing God
I've started a blog site for one of the characters in the novel I'm writing. He is a man of the cloth and blogs about how God is talking to him. Later, in the novel he will be wrestling with God much like Job and Jacob did. Right now I'm posting background stuff leading up to the beginning of the story.What I would ask of this group is some honest feedback about the authenticity of Hector's voice and the view of God he is trying to share.You can find his blog at http://www.hathrae.com/hector/…See More

Is creating a blog for your fictional characters a good idea?
I just put up a blog about creating blogs for my fictional characters. http://douglasgclarke.comWhat do you think?Here's an excerpt:I’ve started blog sites for four of the five main characters in my novel, I’ll get the last one up one of these days. It has been interesting process, and I think helpful as a writer too. I have tried to make each blog site different, reflecting the personality of the character. It has also been interesting…See More

CCAS at Comic-Con
The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011
In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.
Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”

He is an excerpt:
I’ve started blog sites for four of the five main characters in my novel, I’ll get the last one up one of these days. It has been interesting process, and I think helpful as a writer too. I have tried to make each blog site different, reflecting the personality of the character. It has also been interesting writing blogs for each of them. Blogs, or in the case journal entries, can be very personal things. I’m trying to let that personality show in each entry.
...
I think that the process of blogging for my characters and been a two edges sword. I think I can write better in their voices for having done it. I think my novel will be better for it. I have started to build much deeper backstories for each of them. But, it has taken time. Time that I could have been spending writing the novel.
In the end I think I’m glad that I’m doing the extra work. If writing was my money making job, then it might be the wrong choice. Since it is just a passion, a way to share my life, and my own personal therapy, then it is probably the right thing to do.
I would love to have my novel done, but in the end, for me, it is all about letting these characters speak through me. Whether they speak through a novel or a blog site really doesn’t matter. It is the sharing and exploring that is helpful to me.

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
