Now I’m no Marie Kondo. Make no mistake. I hold onto things for years, decades, life if they have sentimental value. I’m not a fan of change But clutter does get overwhelming sometimes, so in recent years, I’ve developed a policy: don’t buy junk, and when I move, if something has no sentimental value, get …

Writers Life | Learning Through Imagination
I read an interesting meme on Face Book this morning, originally posted by Jennifer Powell. Fiction is fake!? How often have you heard that, or something like it? “I only read true stories.” “Fiction stories are lies.” “I don’t read fiction, I only read the Bible.” I’ve heard all of these at one time or …

Romans 12:9-21 This passage in Romans (New International Version) is marked as ‘Love in action’. What an intriguing idea. I’d like to pull out a few of the pieces of advice to focus on them in context of how we serve the Kingdom of God in our writing. V9. Love must be sincere … We …
A Non-anxious presence
A non-anxious presence. This little phrase stood out to me from amongst a load of inspiring information presented recently at an education conference.

Writers Life | The Joker and the Queen
A beautiful ballad by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, the Joker and the Queen tells the tale of two people who are from opposite worlds, finding love and connection. As writers, our method of operation is to try to get into the head and heart of people – albeit made-up people – to be able …
When I Woke Up – Part 2
Two weeks ago, I talked about the new ‘Woke’ phenomenon, and asked you about addressing non-conservative, controversial issues within Christian Fiction. Your response was immediate and it seems that this subject is stirring in many hearts. This time, I wanted to talk specifically about one issue that has always been controversial to me. …
When I Woke Up.
[1] “When I wake up, well I know I’m gonna be…”[2] These are the opening lyrics to a famous, catchy song by the Proclaimers. Gonna be? For me, the question is, gonna be what when I wake up? Well, I did wake up, and the world I’m living in is looking less and less familiar. …
