Guys, my dad wants to write. He says it would be good experience for him as a pastor (since storytelling is relevant to preaching) and he wants my help when he attempts to write fantasy/science fiction.
I like the idea, of course. But I did NOT expect it. 😂 Anyway, just wanted to post about this because it’s interesting.
honestly! That is so cool! I know a tone of pastors who do that. Doug Wilson is prob. my favorite. But yes, a great pastime.
Yeah I think it is cool of him. I think writing doubles as a way to connect with me and a way to build his general writing skills.
That’s super cool! My dad wants to write a book with me, too. We live in Florida, so he wants it to be about Florida animals.
Just make sure to give him as many writing tips as possible. Recommend him to places. And tell him there’s nothing stopping him from writing anything—even fan works if he wants to. They’re great practice.
Fun! Yeah I’ll have to let him know he can write anything; he’s a perfectionist like me.
Neat! Any details on what he is writing?
Other than it being Sci-fi/Fantasy of course
I do not know yet. I’ll let you know when he tells me, lol.
Sounds good!
Ahhh! That’s awesome. My dad is a great story teller, and he would read aloud to us growing up, but I don’t think being a preacher has ever induced him to want to write.
Yeah I didn’t immediately realize why. He explained that storytelling is a way into the soul, and he would like to do more of that in his sermons. He’s ordered some essays C.S. Lewis wrote on imagination, and he wants to read them with me to get my perspective.
XD
That’s great, but also kinda hilarious.
I bet he’ll do awesome!
