The Decision of Meaning
A story stands as it was created.

Shannon McDermott
An Icon of Melodrama
If you consider the facts from a certain distance – objectively, even analytically – you would have to conclude that the image of a woman tied to the railroad tracks is grim.
·
Shannon McDermott
The Burden of Belief
The dynamic of offering people fiction that entangles with their convictions is two-fold. You may well draw them to your story. But they will come with the burden of belief.
·
Shannon McDermott
The Last Impossibility
What we end with is a popular culture that will face neither the darkness nor the light.
·
Shannon McDermott
The Saving Mystery
This is the cardinal rule for writers who wish to tread into the next world: Leave the mystery.

Fiction Friday – Escape To Vindor By Emily Golus
For as long as she can remember, Megan Bradshaw has imagined herself as the heroine of Vindor, her own secret world populated with mermaids, centaurs, samurai and more. When school pressures and an upcoming move make life unbearable, Megan wishes she could escape to Vindor for real. And then she does.

Realism And Twenty-first Century Storytelling—A Reprise
I think there’s something else not particularly real in twenty-first century stories, no matter how real the computer generated characters might appear. We could chalk this up to “that’s just movies” if it weren’t for the fact that screen writing is beginning to dominate the way we write novels, too.

Fiction Friday – The Orphan’s Song By Gillian Bronte Adams
Every generation has a Songkeeper—one chosen to keep the memory of the Song alive. And in every generation, there are those who seek to destroy the chosen one.

Angels Of The Bible and Other Books
Given the immovable place of angels in speculative fiction, I thought it would be interesting to examine what the Bible says concerning them.
·
Shannon McDermott
Culture Shifts And The Christian Writer
Is it OK for Christian novelists to write to other Christians or to general market readers “purely for entertainment”? Or should we aim to make an eternal difference through what we write?

Books I’ve Tried To Read And Can’t Get Into
Have you started books you haven’t finished? Do you know what made you stop reading? Do you try and try again until you get into a book? Have you persisted with some book and discovered it’s a keeper, one you’re glad you read and would recommend to others?

Act Your Age
I’m perfectly happy to believe all the crazy worldbuilding you can throw at me. I will overlook a few tropes if the plot is halfway interesting. But if your characters do not “act their age,” then you need to explain why that is so.

Stories With Romance Or Stories With Love?
Could it be that our current Christian speculative fiction has focused so much on the kind of love the world recognizes that we are neglecting the kind of love the Bible extols?

A Little Imagination
Jonah was wrong. But he was eminently understandable. It just takes a little imagination.
·
Shannon McDermott
Weekday Fiction Fix – Curse Bearer By Rebecca P. Minor
An epic tale of curses and miracles, where headstrong ignorance creates bondage, and the desire to serve offers freedom.
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
The Power Of “Type”
Not every non-Christian is ready to receive the message of humankind’s fall, lost state, need of salvation, and rescue by a loving God through the blood of His precious Son. Something intervening takes place to bring a lost soul to the place where he is willing to listen to the salvation message.

Your 2015 Spec Faith Winter Writing Challenge prompt: Ryder needed to know the truth, but he was pretty sure none of the others were interested.

If It’s Fiction . . .
Truth in stories is a tricky thing. On the story-telling level, often referred to as realism, readers need to believe in what’s taking place.
