Where it Began
Back in 2012, I had never written fiction before. But something about NaNoWriMo—National Novel Writing Month—called to me.
So I jumped in.
That 50,000-word challenge became my first novel draft, A Rediscovered Faith—which later became Book 2 in my Faith Reimagined series. More importantly, it sparked a love for storytelling, trained me in discipline, and taught me that daily faithfulness could unlock creative momentum.
Since then, I’ve participated in five NaNoWriMos…
Written entire books during 30-day sprints…
And even finished a three-book challenge—handing in the final manuscript the very day my daughter was born.
“Writing challenges changed my life. They didn’t just help me write books—they helped me become a more faithful and confident Christian writer.”

What about fiction writers? Nonfiction?
Both! While my Faith-Based Book Writing Month challenge was inspired by National Novel Writing Month, it isn’t just for novel writers. Do you write Bible studies, devotionals, or other resources? Join the fun! (As well as you fellow novelists 🙂 )
