I’m Joy Caroline, and I just joined the forum! I’m excited to be here with you all.
To help you get to know me, I’m basically a teen writer with a passion for all things Jesus. I write Biblical fiction because my greatest desire is to help teens, including myself, to realize Bible figures were real, breathing people with feelings just like ours.
I am working on a novel right now, and my goal is to have the final draft and begin querying agents by the time I’m a senior in high school. My novel is called The Apostle’s Sister and it’s a retelling of St. Paul and his ministry, told through the eyes of his devoted younger sister.
When I’m not working on my novel, I love to blog on my site. I also love to read. My favorite fiction books are To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and the Two from Galilee trilogy by Marjorie Holmes.
Again, I’m really glad to be here!

Well, when you get to know a person you get to trust them, too! 😂
@joy-caroline
This is true! So how has writing/editing in The Apostle’s Sister going today? I got to read a little bit more in the first chapter. Sadly I was hoping to have completed it but my day got away from me.God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.

Well, after reading through my entire first draft I have a huge list of stuff to fix, haha. I’m also brainstorming that plot problem, so thanks a lot for your help! I have so many more ideas now. I’m honestly really eager to get to editing the second chapter. And absolutely no worries!
