Encouraging
Write His Answer, by Marlene Bagnull is encouraging. The book is filled with practical help for overcoming self-doubts, writer's block, rejection, procrastination, and a hundred other things that authors must conquer. As a Christian, I appreciated Bagnull’s biblical advice. I highly recommend this book to any writer, but it is a must read for the Christian writer.

It is an excellent resource for discovering your calling as a writer. It gives abundant direction and insight to my purpose as a writer.
Marlene will walk you step by step where you will learn what it takes and will know for sure if you are called to write.
This book is full of Bible-based advice sure to help any writer seeking to further the Kingdom with their writing.
It is an encouraging work that discusses a writer's vision and goals, the need to rightly divide the word of truth, and to share God's message to a hurting world with compassion and faithfulness. The author stresses the importance of first taking off our mask so that we might be real and relevant to others as we strive to give them a clear picture of Jesus Christ.
Marlene Bagnull is quick to share her frustrations and disappointments as an author as rejection slip after rejection slip came her way, but through the encouragement of her pastor and others, she did not give up.
I love a quote from the book that reminds us as Christian writers, "We are literature missionaries!" p. 19
Write His Answer is a wonderful Bible study for all Christian writers. It will encourage you to do more writing.
I attended the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference in 2013, 2015, and 2017 and will attend it again this year. I met Marlene through the conference.

This "devotional" for writers doesn't fade with age. I revisit this every few years and get inspired every time. One of my teens has picked this up in the last couple of years and has found it motivational as well. Well worth checking out!!
