I promised myself that I would complete The Sign of Contradiction, the first published book by the then Cardinal Karol Wojtyla by the end of Lent. Although it took me most of Holy Saturday to finish the series of meditations prepared at the request of the then Pope Paul VI for the 1976 Lenten Retreat of […]

Good Friday dawned foggy, damp and cold here at Half Moon Bay and it seemed fitting to me because it is Good Friday. While doing our walk along the beach after I completed my work of the morning, Shadow and I passed lots of people and their dogs; all kinds of dogs racing on the […]

The last couple of months  have been filled with difficulties-ranging from trivial to awful. And so we decided to spend Holy Week and Easter weekend down here. I was dreading yet another series of “firsts”; this RV suffused with memories of our boy, now gone, the 4 mile walk along the ocean that the boys […]

It’s been a little over a month since I lost my best friend- a Doberman named Ally. And this is the 4th post I have written in my attempts to come to grips with the loss of this remarkable creature with whom I was graced for a little over 7 years. Over 3000 words before […]

That the 1st three chapters in Genesis have other than historical relevance to me, my culture and my world had never occurred to me until reading a 1976  meditation by Pope John Paul II about the history of atheism, of agnosticism, of the many ideologies which seek to deny God. “…Your eyes will be opened […]

Remember the song from Annie, I Don’t Need Anything But You“: ‘Yesterday was plain awful and Daddy Warbucks sings back: ‘You can say that again’ and she does? It’s been 3 weeks tonight since I saw my Dobie boy drop dead and I really thought I had accepted that he was gone…could focus on the joy this boy brought […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia has received a NABE Pinnacle Book Achievement
Award Winners for Winter 2019: Best book in historical fiction. And the next topic is My Name is Saul. Since I started writing Saul in the middle of January, and it is almost the first of June, you would think that I’d be close to halfway through the story.

However, that is not the case. For some reason, this young man eludes me still. I have poured through the fifteen or so books and articles found on his early life and childhood enough to learn there is next to nothing known about them. Other than the bare facts we know from his Gospels.

That’s a good thing because that means there is vast capacity for creative imagination. And a problem for the same reasons.

Once again, this is the time where patience, quiet, listening, and more patience are essential. Since this is my 7th book, those qualities are more accessible than when this adventure began, But there are days when writing one paragraph is the sole output. And of late, there are some where it’s just one sentence. And I must confess, days when there are none.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
