I Really Wanted To Be A Musician,

As For Writing About Temptation, There's No Drama Without Temptation, And No Novel Without Drama.

I Think I Was Always Writing Books That Had Very Clear Scenic Structures. I Do Tend To Write In Scenes. I Do Tend To Have A Fair Amount Of Dialogue. And I Do Tend To Use Stories That Don't Sprawl All Over The Place, That Have A Very Sharp Focus In Terms Of How They Unfold In Time.

I Did A Lot Of Reading Of The Bible And Became Fascinated With The Idea Of The Rapture. It's Pretty Wild. I Hadn't Heard Of It Until I Was In College.

I Was Writing Very Early, Like I Was Involved In Our High School Literary Magazine, Which Was Called 'pariah.' The Football Team Was The Bears, And The Literary Magazine Was 'pariah.' It Was Great. It Was Definitely A Real Sub-culture. But I Wrote Stories For Them.

It Felt Good, The Whole Family Together On A Sunny Morning In A Wholesome Environment. If It Hadn't Been For The Warshiping God Part, He Would Have Happily Attended Church On A Regular Basis.
