Are you using your fiction platform for Kingdom causes? Our guest shares how using fiction for kingdom causes can improve our writing.

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mts of NC. I’m your host Linda Goldfarb. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn how to use Fiction as a platform for Kingdom causes and improve your writing.

My industry expert is Heather Norman Smith - Heather Norman Smith is an author of Christian Fiction set in her home state of North Carolina. Her goal is to entertain and encourage readers while illuminating the redemptive love of God. She lives just outside Winston-Salem, NC, with her husband, their four children, and several pets.

Today we discuss:

• What do you mean by “Kingdom causes”?
• In addition to the gospel, what are some Biblical themes Fiction writers utilize to build a story? Biblical references: James 1:27, Psalm 139:13-14, Hebrews 13:3, Proverbs 19:37
• How does focusing on spiritual themes help you as a writer?
• What advice do you have for a Fiction writer who gets stuck in their writing?
• How do you incorporate spiritual themes organically into a story?
