Writers’ Coaching Corner (December 2022): Answers Questions

Good writing answers questions

This month is the third installment in the second season of the Writers’ Coaching Corner. Each month I take one paragraph from a GCD article to highlight some aspect of what makes for good writing. I’ll point out what made the writing work so well and how we can incorporate more of that writerly goodness into our craft.

This month I use the excerpt from Stephen Morefield’s new book Always Longing to talk about the principle that good writing answers questions. The excerpt appeared on our website under the title “Always Longing: Book Launch.” Morefield’s book can be found on Amazon and the GCD website.

I mention our GCD Mentoring Cohort and a number of articles: “How I Review a Book“ by Tim Challies, “Start Here: A Beginners Reading List” by Adsum Ravenhill, “Reader Q&A: What should I do if I can’t focus & it seems God’s Word isn’t sinking in?” by Jana Carlson. I also mention and Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology and our GCD Writers’ Guild.
