Zitat des Tages von Francine Rivers:
I became a Christian late, in my late 30s, so I had a lot of things that I was bringing into my Christian life that I regret. And I had a lot of questions about faith, so that's where I start when I write.
I want to see Christian fiction speak to the hard and real issues that tear people's lives apart.
Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.
Well, I always wanted to write from the time I was very little, and my mother encouraged me. She wrote a journal from the time she was 15 up until about the age of 76.
I actually worked in the general market for many years writing steamy historical romance, and I had more freedom in the Christian market than I ever did in the general market to write about any issue that I needed to write about.
The goal is to have every character take on a life of his or her own. Sometimes characters will come into the story that I haven't planned.
I start work by spending time in personal Bible study. Because my projects center on a question in my own faith walk, I find Bible study essential. And God gives me scriptures daily that speak to the question with which I'm struggling.
