Being a writer is both an amazing privilege and a huge challenge. Susan Baganz interviewed me a few weeks ago, for her Writer Wednesday Interview feature, and that interview is live today.
Here’s a snippet of it…
Writer Wednesday Interview with Lindsey Bell:
“When did you decide you would be an author? Was it something you fell into, felt called to…?”
I have loved writing for as long as I can remember, but I didn’t actually take it seriously until a college professor urged me to send in an article I had written. That article was accepted for publication, and that’s when I thought, “Maybe I’m not too bad at this!” That first article gave me the courage to send in another. And then another. And then another. And that eventually led me to write books as well.
One quote that stuck with me that I read years ago was from Kaci Calvaresi. She said, “God can’t use a redemptive story that you’re not willing to tell.” THAT, for me, is why I write…so that God can use my story to help others…
