Great piece. I needed to hear that today. Been feeling a bit down lately. I agree. Writing is serving. The reward is having the finished product on book shelves, but I’ve also learned the biggest reward of all is seeing that what you are writing is connecting to your readers. Someone asked me, “I thought writing was fun?”

I said, “It is fun, but it is also work.”

I never thought of it as serving. Thanks for the perspective.

Great post. It’s easy for the writer to forget humility and to lose focus. Best to keep the mind dwelling on the overall picture, bringing it all back to the reminder of the true purpose for writing christian fiction. Also, isn’t the true fun in the journey, not the goal?

I’ll be attending the conference for the first time this year. I’ve moved past being afraid of it and am now getting really excited!!
