I sent it to a fan fiction website, and when it was posted, I strutted around like I had won the Pulitzer Prize! I encourage you in your efforts to write the Great Lutheran Novel.

(If you don't know, it's National Novel Writing Month. Anyone can participate, and participating writers are supposed to write 50,000 words in the month of November. Check out nanowrimo.org.) <br/><br/>I think about doing it every November, then decide there's no way I can keep up at that pace. But I think it's a great idea -- it would force you to get the words on paper, even if they're not great. The idea is that it's easier to edit 50,000 words after they're written than to agonize over them as they come out one at a time. Have you heard of NaNoWriMo, or thought about doing it?

I am assuming your plots have a somewhat theological underpinning. I have thought about writing on and off, but haven't found the time. One of these days I will get around to it, just for the fun of the writing. That’s pretty cool. I am assuming your plots have a somewhat theological underpinning.
