Not everyone agrees with me, but I don't think it is good to include angels or other heavenly beings (that includes Jesus and God) in my writings because it seems disagreeable to me to put imaginary words in their mouths. It also seems weird to me to impute actions to them. But I'm curious as...

I almost hesitate to bring this topic up, but has anyone noticed how much bloodshed there is recorded in the Bible? "And God said to Noah, 'The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.'" (NKJV) I...

As many of you know, part time I record Audiobooks for ACX (Audible), and AI recordings have been verboten. But yesterday, I got this from Amazon, and is this scary or what: Hello, Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in KDP's beta for audiobooks. Starting today, you have the...

most interesting characters in all of literature to you? And they can be any character at all! I'm just curious. I wonder, too, what makes a character interesting to you.

I was take aback by an argument that was posed to me the other day about whether Christian Writers should write fiction. I said of course, that there was nothing wrong with it, and we could place Christian themes within it. I also said that it doesn't matter if it's just entertainment. But my...

You know, I get plenty of books and stories submitted to me that begin worse than this: "Plates of food lined the dining room table at 54 Wimbley Avenue. The fragrance of freshly cooked food lingered in the air, suggesting that someone had prepared the meal with utmost care and attention to...

I'm curious how many of you out there are interested in having your writing be made into a film. Do you know how to package your offering to producers? Do you understand how to convert your writing into a screenplay?

Kind of creepy, no? "With AI tools like ChatGPT now able to rapidly and cheaply pump out huge volumes of convincing text, some writers and authors have raised alarms about losing work to the new technology. Others have said they don’t want their work being used to train AI models, which could...

Seriously. When I see all the YouTube videos and all the other video outlets, I wonder. People would rather watch then read. I know I'm treading on sacred ground here, but in spite of die hard readers, the numbers are against them. Then you have the plethora of Audible and other outlets...

My son the other day stumped me with a question, he asked me "Why do you write?" After thinking about it for awhile, I had to answer him "I don't know, I just do." Upon reflection, I have to admit that was a totally unsatisfactory answer, so I thought I'd ask you why do you write? Surely...

Just to let everyone know, they got all of the cancer for Paul's wife!! And @paulchernoch and his wife are healing so we should all pray for Paul, his wife and his whole family.

Do you have down periods for your writing? What causes that? Depression? Recharging your creative batteries? Do you find that they are most pronounced after you have just finished a book, or while you're in the middle of a book? Or do you just plain have writer's block? If so, how long...

There's something wrong with the Writing and Publishing link. When you click on it... well try it and see. And when you click on Christian Fellowship, it gives you Writing and Publishing.

@Accord64 first brought this topic up, and I'm really glad that he did. In the critique forum we are supposed to be positively affirming. @Zee really does a good job with this, and so does @quietspirit and @zx1ninja . And @P.M. Turner and @Sarah Daffy, and @Shamrock is really good at it...

Recently, @paulchernoch 's wife had the diagnosis that she may have cancer. His daughter was in the hospital for a week. I would ask that we extend prayers for Paul and his whole family. They certainly seem like they need it.

Somedays we are visited by 75 robots. The lowest I've seen so far is 53 robots. I wonder what information they're gleaning from ChristianWriters.com? Are they cataloguing our likes and dislikes? Maybe they're interested in what Christians are talking about? Or maybe, just maybe they could...

for @quietspirit and her husband? He's got to have surgery, but they're telling him that his blood sugar reading is too high as of today. Let's pray for them both and include in our prayers to help him get his blood sugar reading down.

What type of fiction does everyone on ChristianWriters write? I write science fiction, suspense, mystery and horror. What does anybody else write?

There are some common personality traits that many successful writers and authors share. Some of these traits are: Stubbornness and a drive to succeed. Many writers face rejection, criticism, and self-doubt, but they do not give up on their passion and vision. They have a strong sense of...

I'm struggling with a writer who has a limited imagination, but is firmly committed to the Gospel, and firmly committed to writing a good book. He paid $700 for a writer's website (it looks terrible), editing services, a cover design for his book (it looks terrible, too), got eBook copies and a...
