The Spiritual War Through Culture: Modern Entertainment
Does modern entertainment, including speculative fiction, have any connection to the messages Satan is trying to sell to our culture? If so, what should we do about it?

What Harm Could Come from Fictional Magic?
Is it actually possible for a fictional portrayal of magic to do harm? Should “harm” be our primary focus in the first place–or honoring God?

The Price and Power of Individual Choices
Some readers have asked me why The Savage War doesn’t have much to do with magic. My first serious answer is that High Fantasy was not the story I was given to write. My second is that it is very […]

Does Family Enhance Female Heroes?
Was Mark Carver’s post on Speculative Faith yesterday right about a need to have more families with children in speculative fiction? In particular, would children benefit female heroes?

Where Are The Original Movies?
But I can’t help wondering—is the mad dash to make money squeezing movies into a narrow slot? Must they be movie re-tellings of books or comics . . . or of other movies? Is there no room for a brand new story made originally for the screen?

Speculative Fiction Writers Guide to War, part 13: Training for High-End Capabilities

Worldbuilding and the ‘Fictional Dream’
While it’s impossible to think through every scientific implication of intergalactic space travel or magical agriculture, worldbuilders should at least pay attention to the things readers
will
notice—such as rudimentary physics, basic logic, and normal character psychology.

Memorial Day: Remembering The Soldiers Who Died—A Reprise
It doesn’t seem to me that speculative stories are short on wars, and therefore people serving the rest of their culture or nation or species by marching into danger and possible death.

Thankful Characters-A Reprise
Despite privation, death, dangers, and the concerns for the future, the early colonists found reason to rejoice. They exhibited a degree of contentment, a gratitude for what they had rather than resentment for what they had lost.

Holidays And Celebrations – Reprise
Holidays and celebrations seem to be a staple in society.

Consequently, novels that incorporate familiar festivities seem anchored in reality.
