Along Came A Writer Network

Hi! I’m Chautona Havig. (for those who care, that’s Shuh-TONE-uh HAVE-ig).  Yeah. Just work with me here. I should have used a pseudonym, but when you grow up with a name like Chautona, it kind of sticks.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.  ~ Hebrews 10: 23–25

Those aren’t just words on a page for me–they’re why I write. I write to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. The stories I create are to make people laugh, cry, question, consider.

They’re for you. 

When the world screams for hope, I try to point you to the true Source of hope–Jesus.

Sometimes life in the church no longer seems a refuge from the pain of a self-serving world around us, but through my stories, I try to point you to the only Refuge that can truly help–the Father’s Everlasting Arms.

Marji and Fay continue their discussion of how to utilize the nine writing bones in the novel skeleton, and their subsequent sub-sections, to create a smoothly written novel in most any genre. They use three well-known movies to easily display the different parts of the story, how they are each necessary for the satisfaction of the completed novel, and how each part fits into the whole picture of the complete novel skeleton.

Lisa Crane is started out as an Indie-published author, and she has a large fan base from that. She has also been traditionally published. We will talk about her books and both kinds of publishing.

After the "false apex" and reflection of Part Four, the goals of your main characters need to be readdressed. They may even need some adjustment. Marji and Fay will work through this Fifth Part of the novel skeleton - the writing bones - using some popular movies as examples of these parts and their connected sections.
