The Christian Writer and Fiction
Fiction is not very good fiction, if fiction at all, without ‘flawed characters and narrative.’ As such, the gospel-story (narrative) is the story of sinful men and women (flawed characters) coming to repentance and faith in Christ, the Redeemer, whose sacrifice atones for their sins. The narrative does not stop at the point of conversion but continues with how such persons struggle with the remaining sin within them (flawed characters, again) and the sin in the world around them.

Thomas Clayton Booher
Preference V. Weakness
Reader differences go far beyond genre or gender. Each person brings his or her own preferences, prejudices, expectations, beliefs, experiences, and assumptions to the story.

Keanan Brand
Inside Another Mind
The entire plot of Treasure Traitor unfolded before me from the single image of this outcast girl with a bird on her shoulder. While my creative process sure took a round about way to get me from that original childhood short story to my first published novel, the journey was not in vain.

You’re As Relevant As A Wimpy Mustache!
Here’s the funny thing about pursuing relevance–if you’re trying to be it, you probably aren’t. Coolness can’t be faked any more than singing with Auto-Tune makes you a vocalist (sorry T-Pain), or growing a handlebar mustache makes you a man (though I envy any man who can
pull it off
).

Christopher Miller
Writers Slay Dragons (and You Should Too)
The truth is, the dragon is real and living among us. But what is this dragon really up to? What’s his goal? Is he merely trying to slow us down in our life journey? Is he simply keeping us from taking chances, fulfilling our dreams or doing great things for God in this world?

When Bad Things Happen To Good Characters
It looks like a significant majority of our readers prefer posts that are educational, help them make informed choices about their reading/viewing material, and/or provoke discussion. Tough cookies. You’re getting a story today.

Writer’s Block?
This is one of the things that makes us different from the rest of the animal kingdom. Our creativity. Other animal species may have developed forms of communication, but so far as we know only humans engage in storytelling.

The Legend Of Intaglio, Part 6
It all made sense now. He had betrayed the Fairy’s trust, and this was his punishment.

Fred Warren
The Legend Of Intaglio, Part 5
His joints protested as he struggled to his feet; every movement was squeaky and stiff. He took some small consolation in the fact his trousers were dry.

Fred Warren
The Legend Of Intaglio, Part 4
Intaglio had never worked a day in his admittedly short life, which was something of a liability in a town where everything was do-it-yourself.

The Legend Of Intaglio, Part 3
The sun was rising as the ferry boat reached the island, a jagged little cone of rock crowned with a diadem of colorful buildings alive with pennons and bunting that fluttered in the ocean breeze.

The Legend Of Intaglio, Part 2
Last week, we left our hero chained to a table in a literary sweatshop, where he was forced to write really lousy stories. He’s still there.

The Legend Of Intaglio
Once upon a time, in a little Italian village nestled at the foot of the Alps, north of Milan, there lived a humble cabinetmaker named Giuseppe who wrote a weekly home improvement column for the local newspaper.
