Are you writing based on popular opinion or by God’s design? Today’s guest shares tips to help you write based on your uniqueness.

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn how to write the Way God Designed You to write.

My industry expert is Heather Greer. Heather is a multi-published author, including three Selah Award finalists. In her fiction writing, Heather creates characters who live their faith, one story at a time. In addition to fiction, Heather writes and speaks to encourage authors to write with passion, equipped to experience the success God has for them. Her latest book, You Write You: Freedom for the God-designed Writer in You, is available where books are sold.

How to Write the Way God Designed You to Write

1. What does finding freedom for the God-created writer in you mean?

2. If a writer’s personality traits and circumstances don’t fit or work well with the current writing styles, tools, and rules, does that mean they are destined to fail?

3. Does this mean writers are free to toss out any ideas, tools, or methods they don’t like and still write well?
