Writing Christian Fiction: Study the Craft of Writing
"Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a
dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one
who knows how to combine them."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
Study the craft of writing. You are serving a great Master. You have an important job to do. So, strive for excellence when writing Christian fiction.
Learn from the Master Himself. Read His book, the Bible; it's the finest English writing of all time. Learn from the masters too: read the classics and good contemporary literature.
Take writing courses. Read books on the craft of writing. And write, write, write - that's the best way to hone your writing skills.
