When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

Weaving a Message into Your Story 3:59

3:59

Send us a text In one of our recent Writers for a Reason Unite groups, one of the things we talked about was weaving a message into our stories. How do we do this gently, with respect? After all, we are not here to persuade, as much as allow readers to think through issues of faith, and make up their own minds. Of course, as Christians, we would love everyone to share our faith! But not everyone will choose to do so, and that’s between them and God – our job is to simply to share our story. This episode will help you think about how you can weave a brilliant message into a story your readers will love. Support the show Like to do my free writing course, Gripping Beginnings ?

Different Voices for Different Characters 7:04

לפני 27 weeks7:04

7:04

Send us a text Today I have a little tip for you, on writing dialogue. Someone was asking me recently about what mistakes I see most often in dialogue, and one of them is that their characters all sound too similar. The way people speak will denote their character. A bold person, for example, will speak boldly. A timid person will use completely different words, and express them in a different way. The bold person will be direct. The timid person may beat about the bush, go red, fumble and look at the ground. The bold person might fold their arms, stand their ground, and look you in the eye. So show how your characters are feeling, and their personality, in your dialogue, by their actions as well as their words. Listen to the episode and you might glean a few tips for your own characters, and their dialogue. Until next time, be blessed!

Some Guidelines for Writing Christian Fantasy for Kids 6:30

לפני 48 weeks6:30

6:30

Send us a text Hi, Janet Wilson here. The issue with writing fantasy, and how we deal with it as Christians, came up in one of our Writers for a Reason Unite meetings recently. One of our members had been reading a children’s book, where witchcraft, magic and spells were included in the story. As Christian writers, we’re not going to be including any of these things, of course… but what about fantasy? What about where a character is taken ‘as if by magic’ to another time and place, for example? Where do we draw the line? Here are some guidelines – feel free to disagree! But let's at least think about these things. Support the show Like to do my free writing course, Gripping Beginnings ?
