The best thing about being a writer is "soul reflection", particularly with Christian fiction--you get to "join up" with God and you are completely free. Jesus taught in parables because they engage the heart in inward reflection, much like a novel. And He will take you anywhere--everywhere. God is a Storyteller, the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Bible is extremely visual and creatively written (Isaiah; Revelation; Song of Solomon). While the Holy Spirit inspires and leads you creatively as an author, He reveals His character within the art of storytelling. As a novelist, you get to see the world from God's perspective, typologically, and, in turn, it changes your own soul and makes you kinder of heart, more patient with timelines, and it gains you an eternal frame in which to live. It's fascinating to me how God reveals who He is through our unique and creative purpose. The voice of God whispers through the ink that emerges on the page and the novelist follows. I can think of nothing better to do with my time.

I'm working on a Masters of Divinity degree, which includes a lot of writing. The final edits are near completion on my first two non-fiction Christian books. The beginning of my fifth novel is underway as well. www.dawndyson.com
