XP

Seriously, though, I would say, hold onto the thing that makes your writing yours. You'll read all kinds of writing advice, some bad and some good, some absolutely necessary and some well-intentioned but dangerous if not used with care. Do you need to learn and grow in your craft? Absolutely! But whatever you do, don't let all the advice you receive bury the spark that made your writing your own under a pile of gray sludge that looks just like everyone else's. Learn, grow, and excel in your craft--that's wonderful. But don't give up on the instincts you've always had or the heart that's always beat beneath the surface of your writing. Anyone can follow a formula, but there's something you can bring to the world through your writing that no one else can. Keep that spark alive, and let it shine no matter what! (less)

I had grown up knowing the parable and was very familiar with it, but putting it into a modern-day setting definitely forced me to take a deeper look at it than I ever had before.

One of the biggest elements that I hadn't really considered was just how much the Samaritan did and gave up for the wounded stranger. It becomes a pretty personal thing when you're tending someone's wounds with your own hands, not to mention making yourself responsible for their care!

The other question that I really became curious about was how this experience would have changed the people involved--particularly the man who was hurt. How would he have felt toward his rescuer? How would it have changed the way he looked at Samaritans in the future? Would anything in the Samaritan's life have changed? What about those who passed by? Obviously those answers aren't contained in the original parable, and there are a lot of possible outcomes, but exploring those what-ifs--why does it matter and what changes could God work through a sacrificial love like this?--became a key part of the story for me.(less)

Quick Announcements + New Short Story

A couple quick preliminary updates today, and then I have a new story to share with you! Realistically, should I have split this into two separate newsletters and shared the story on its own in a month when I had no announcements? Probably yes, but I’ve already been holding onto this one for a while, and guys…I just really, really like sharing my stories with you. So I’ve decided I’m not waiting,
