I was intrigued by your Snowflake Synopsis. I have three published novels and am working on my fourth. I use the Snowflake Synopsis with all of my novels. I'm mostly a pantser who begins with a general idea, setting, and characters. As I write, I add more details about my characters and setting. I keep track of names and places, dates, and other details. Some people use Scrivener, but I've heard it's not user friendly. My expanded Snowflake Synopsis is invaluable, especially with books in a series. Thank you for sharing. I couldn't write without it.<br />Connie Leonard<br />Granbury, TXConnie Leonardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-6930039837214257582020-07-28T16:08:23.551-07:002020-07-28T16:08:23.551-07:00Morninginspirations is not kidding about picking b...Morninginspirations is not kidding about picking berries. She and I picked raspberries all one summer in the hot sun. Honestly, I was not thrilled to find out I'd been assigned to pick raspberries, but I decided that I'd be the best picker in the entire crew. And I would have been, except for Morninginspirations and a girl named Bonnie. The three of us worked like crazy and consistently were the top pickers every day. I suspect it was a matter of survival for all of us. I came from a family with not much money, and the Christian boarding school we were going to was expensive, so I did what I had to do. It gave me a good work ethic.<br /><br />And MaryAnn, thanks so much for the glowing review of Son of Mary. I appreciate it. My editor tells me this is my best book, and I think she's right. I actually started the book in the fall of 2004, but the project crashed and burned and I waited a long time to pick it up again. But in the meantime, I got a little better as a novelist, and did insane amounts of research, so in the end, it's a better book than it would have been.Randy Ingermansonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-69517093916260088532020-07-28T11:32:23.966-07:002020-07-28T11:32:23.966-07:00A fantastic question to ask!

I wish to say, however, that this novel is one of the most powerful works of fiction I have ever read. I highly recommend it. Here is the review I posted on Amazon:<br /><br />"With this novel, Randy Ingermanson has completed the first book in the series that will, I believe, become his magnum opus and will define not only his career as a novelist but also his place in literary history. SON OF MARY is a compelling, heart-stirring story, authentic in its writing and transformational in its impact. You will weep, worry, laugh, and learn as the story immerses you in the pivotal days when Jesus Christ walked the earth. I highly recommend this novel to all fans of Biblical fiction—and non-fans, as well--and look forward to reading the next one in the series." ~ MaryAnn Diorio, NovelistMaryAnn Diorio, PhD, MFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728569035482554211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-88544183261828621882020-07-28T00:23:40.181-07:002020-07-28T00:23:40.181-07:00Sounds fascinating FLSounds fascinating FLNancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229949396464956167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-21973938030630411552020-07-27T20:51:30.694-07:002020-07-27T20:51:30.694-07:00I have known Randy since we were 15 years old pick...I have known Randy since we were 15 years old picking berries to earn our way through boarding school.

I remember meeting a whole bunch of people at the 2004 ACFW conference, and I think Lena was one of them.
