Last fall, I did an interview with an up-and-coming suspense author named Mike Dellosso. At the time, he was waiting with bated (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) - bated breath to hear whether his novel, The Hunted, was going to be released by Realms. Shortly after that, I was able to congratulate him on a contract successfully negotiated.
In that correspondence, Mike really humanized the later parts of the writing process for me - I mean, I know the part about putting words together nicely. But then there’s the selling part and the public self-presentation part and all that stuff. It finally clicked into my reality that all writers, editors and company managers are just people. I like people. I prefer people who say hi to me first, which Mike did on ShoutLife. But I especially like people who write things that drag me right into the story, which is what Mike’s first chapter did. That was why I interviewed him. He wrote something cool.
When I started hanging around here again this spring, Gina Conroy submitted a post about the Writer…Interrupted community. And she mentioned that Mike Dellosso had been diagnosed with cancer.

Some time ago I wrote a piece entitled Who Says What’s Christian Music? in which I briefly examined the sad fact that the actual content of music has little to nothing to do with what is actually classified as “Christian” and “secular” music. Artists like Sufjan Stevens openly express their faith with artistic excellence but won’t be purchased in your local Christian bookstore because they dont play the marketing game. Meanwhile, Phillips, Craig and Dean, who openly deny the orthodox view of the Trinity are in every “Christian” bookstore because they do play the marketing game. Marketing rather than content determines what you can buy and where you can buy it.

Molly Noble Bull with Cathi-Lyn Dyck
I went looking for stuff to drag home last week, and got into a conversation with author Molly Noble Bull. She just won a pretty cool award for her historical fiction book, Sanctuary. However, I’m from Canada, which prompted some questions in return.
Cat: Hi, Molly, and welcome to Humble O. Tell me the weirdest opinion you’ve heard out there lately. :~)

Writer…Interrupted was birthed out of my own need to connect with other writing moms. Though I found many wonderful mommy blogs that talked about raising families, none met my unique need of balancing a writing career with raising a family. Soon after I launched the Writer…Interrupted group blog I realized there were other writers, fathers, employees, caregivers, and students who were also interrupted in their writing.

On June 6, 2007, the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief held a meeting of religious leaders at the House of Lords in the UK. The purpose was to look at the challenges presented to various faiths in the implementation of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states,
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
