To me, a Christian writer is a Christian who writes. I don't believe Christian writers must write only Christian material anymore than I believe Christian photographers must take only pictures of churches & steeples. My difference (and what I think should be the difference for every Christian writer) is in my Editor...
The Lord is My Editor, I shall rewrite...
He lays me down in green pastures of fresh ideas.
He leads me by the quiet torrents of conflict and resolution.
He develops my characters and subjects.
He leads me from beginnings to middles,
and from middles to endings ...
for the plot's sake.
Yea, though my protagonist walks through pages of shadows of death,
He fears not the antagonist,
For a good ending is promised.
God's red pen and word-processor, they correct me.
God prepares new writers' books before me
in the presence of my Amazon wish list.
He anoints my printer with ink,
My paper tray overflows.
Surely acceptance and paychecks shall be offered me
for every story I write,
And I shall dwell in my home office as a freelancer
all the days of my writing life.
