Character Arc as a Vehicle of Hope

Join author Jim Wilson as he discusses how stories—fiction or nonfiction—are about people growing or declining as they respond to challenging events. People are the subject; events the predicate.

Writing is a process of discovery, not make believe—whether fiction or nonfiction.

Writing is about pursuing excellence over perfection.

An author must know the whole back story and perhaps the future story of his characters; yet we include only as much back story or foreshadowing as our readers need to make sense of what happens.

In this season, Christian authors have a unique privilege and responsibility to write credibly of the re-introduction of hope into literature.

The Rev. Jim Wilson launched PrayNorthState in 2001. He teaches personal evangelism, biblical fathering, and welcoming God’s promised Great Awakening. His books include Living As Ambassadors of Relationships, The Holy Spirit and the End Times (A Season of Unusual Miracles) and Kingdom in Pursuit. Jim’s current vision is Maverick. Designed for radio, podcasting, print and e-publishing, Maverick connects the unconnected. Jim’s first novel, Generation, begins the story of the baby boomers and God; it is a prequel to the Jesus People Movement. Generation has been nominated for the prestigious James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
