Where creative meets Creator {Christianity and Creativity series}
18th July, 2013 6
Esther Emery is a writer and a half, and I love reading her words. She also happens to be living her summer days in a yurt (like a tent), doing a sustainable-living adventure, in the middle of nowhere. With no electricity. She has amazing insights into what it really looks like to live the creative […]
The Unspectacular Holy Work of Writing {Christianity and creativity series}
16th July, 2013 7
Whenever Ed Cyzeswki talks about creativity, I listen up. His short book on creativity played a key part in shaping my thinking on creativity and Christianity, and at £0.77 is well worth investing in. He studied to be a pastor and is now a writer, and the author of several books. It’s great to have […]

11th July, 2013 7
When I think of Leanne Penny, the word that comes to mind is ‘redemptive’. She has lived a painful story and her writing is filled with hard-won hope and light. I love that she is talking about the whole concept of redemptive art, as she really lives this out, and it is beautiful. Over to […]

She is also a talented artist, and the creator of an online course, ‘Made’, starting in September, with four months of workshops, exercises and prompt specifically […]
How to write a book in four steps (According to Genesis 1)
26th June, 2013 30
I am writing a book. In my optimism and naivety, I thought it might be just like writing several blog posts, then binding them together. My method in writing blog posts is as follows: have a shower, have an idea, write it down flat-out, pause, consider, tweak – and voila! Chapter finished, onto the next […]

18th June, 2013 14
Ever wondered about the process of creativity (which is to say, how I come up with my ideas for blogging)? Well. wonder no more! I explain all here, over at Elora’s place. Elora Nicole is the mastermind behind Story 101, the online writing course I’ve been doing, and it’s an honour to be over at […]
