I’ve noticed a paradox in some Christian fiction books recently. It manifested in The Legend of the Firefish by George Bryan Polivka and The Shadow and Night by Chris Walley. It presents an interesting conundrum for those who pursue writing Christian fiction. It really strikes at the heart of how to write effective, engaging fiction, and it has the potential to create a couple of theoretical camps in this realm of fiction.
Now that I’ve been melodramatic, what does crazy Jason have in mind? Well, I’m not ready to say. But any good product finds a way to create some buzz. I’m hoping that dropping a little teaser will have people wonder what those two books have in common that may portend what I’m talking about.
If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to post comments and I’ll be back in a couple days to open up what I want to discuss.
See you then…

Thanks to Maureen Johnson, a YA (young adult) science fiction of some repute, for the following highly informative post:
HOW TO BE A WRITER IN TEN EASY STEPS.
Finally! After all this time, the answer has been revealed! We can all stop working so hard now and follow this tested* methods for becoming a writer. I am good on Step Three at least. Seven and Eight are coming along.
Hat tip to John C. Wright.
*I haven’t personally tested this, and cannot vouch for the methodology used.

Brandilyn Collins did a series of posts this week on a book entitled Art and Fear. It was a great series of posts. If you’re not already keeping up with Brandilyn’s blog, shame on you. It was a real challenge for any practitioner of the arts, in a good way.
I’ve ordered the book, so I may share my own thoughts once I get it. Looks like a resource that can help us keep going.
