Tabletop RPG Podcast and Roleplaying Resources
Not sure about this book’s contents, but I do like his characterization of preachy Evangelical fiction:
Instead of the goody-goody characters and “evangelical bludgeoning” people expect in Christian fiction, Jordan says the story explores how flawed people struggle with their faith in the face of devastating events.
This MSNBC article talks about the new Christian chick literature which Christian women are buying in droves.
Chick Lit is a new genre of writing for and about single women in search of happiness and fulfillment in their lives.
Says the article:
Of the roughly 150 million Christians in the United States, more than 60 percent are women. And based on the growth of chick lit book sales, many of them like to read.
Vickie McDonough on the value of critique groups:
I can say without a doubt that I’m published today because of the help I’ve received from my critique group partners. They’ve encouraged me when I wanted to give up on writing. They taught me to show, not tell. I learned point of view from them, and they’ve become my friends. Most of my experience with critique groups has been positive, but that wasn’t always the case.
Especially helpful are Vickie’s list of the key things you want critiquers to look for in your manuscript.

A couple of great quotes from The Master’s Artist:
Henri Nouwen writes this in Reflections on Theological Education: “Writing is a process by which we discover what lives in us. The writing itself reveals what is alive. The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens up new spaces within us of which we were not aware of before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know.”
And a quote on writing to process and understand from A River Runs Through It.
“Later, when you’re ready, tell the story of our family. Perhaps then you’ll understand what happened.”
Dave Long of f a i t h * i n * f i c t i o n gives some example of Christian themes in novels:
