I’ve decided to start a semi-regular segment here to provide advice to writers. Feel free to ask questions via the comments, and I’ll respond either in the comments or in my next segment.
Let’s start with the basics: Is spiritual writing different?
In some ways yes, and in some ways no.
In most cases, your readers expect more from your writing than they would if they just picked up a mystery novel (nothing wrong a good mystery novel, though, I’ll hasten to add). But they’ll read your work with an expectation that it will lead them to personal growth, that what they’ll get from your book will take them beyond the words on the page. And that makes your writing different.
On the other hand, you still have the same considerations about making your book marketable, about keeping your end audience, about knowing your genre inside and out that other writers do.
What do you think? Is your writing the same or different as other writing? How so? How not?
