Free to Glorify God with Your Gifts: Christian Fiction Author Chat (Ep 23)

Today's BONUS episode is fun and special! When I interviewed Mr. Bill & Mrs. Crystal about The International Guest House, I couldn't help but ask Mr. Bill a few questions about his writing journey too! In the episode, we said he'd written 11 books, BUT I realized later I'd left one out of the count, so the current number he's got published is 12, with 13 and 14 on their way. Although this content IS about books and writing, I love the principles Mr. Bill shares & think they can be applied to multiple areas of life. Especially in this day and age, it's tempting to write (or perform, or do any hobby!) for the masses and fame; Mr. Bill gently reminds us that prioritizing impact and writing for an audience of One is what truly matters. ✨ Topics covered:How to start writing a book (even if you don’t feel like a “writer”)The difference between storytelling and wordsmithingWriting for impact vs writing for fameFaith, purpose, and Christian themes in storytellingBuilding characters and meaningful narrativesFinding time and discipline to writeWhy writing for a small audience still matters🎧 This episode was originally from the Miraculous Freedom Podcast and is now featured on Charles’s Chapters—a channel dedicated to books, reading, and storytelling.LINKS:Mr. Bill’s Website: https://www.billmackenzie.org/ Going in the Right Direction (Biblical Fiction): https://a.co/d/0hvMloOuAbu and the Valley of Horses (Historical Christian Fiction): A Peculiar Grain of Wheat (Historical Christian Fiction): The Garden: The Mystery of the Green Bottle: Unsettled: As always, thank you so much for listening!
