Welcome to Writing for Christ Vannetta
Chapman, it is great to have you here! Do you have an interesting fact about
yourself the average reader probably doesn’t know?
As a child I was allergic to most things. They would do those allergy
tests with the board on your back ... I'd be allergic to 200 out of 250 items,
every time. I did grow out of most of those allergies, but my childhood
illnesses probably led to my love of books.
Do you have a favorite genre to
read/write?
So far I am only published in Amish, though that includes Amish
mysteries, Amish romances, and Amish novellas. I read absolutely everything. As
far as favorite--if you give me a likeable character, I'll follow you into any
genre.
Do you have a nugget of writing
advice that has completely changed how you view writing?
Only one? I've spent 15 years studying the craft, so it's hard to narrow
that down, or maybe that is my nugget. Study the craft of writing, same as a
baseball player would study the art of pitching a ball. Repetition and hard
work are key.
5 things you love?
my family, my Lord, words, Texas, music
What do you enjoy most about being
a published author?
That moment of connection with readers--when I know that I've passed on a
little bit of hope, a small amount of God's grace. THAT is the very best part
of being published and worth all the work.
