Do you dream of writing a clean, faith-driven novel—but life and self-doubt keep getting in the way? You’re not alone. In this goal-getting episode of The Christian Writers Podcast, Kathleen Guire shares three transformative writing habits rooted in faith and productivity systems to help Christian writers like you finally finish your story.

Discover how to: ✔ Schedule writing time with intentional calendar blocks ✔ Establish a consistent routine, complete with treadmill writing, music, coffee, and one-hour Dabble sprints ✔ Set visible deadlines in color-coded events for your cozy mystery, middle grade, or YA projects

We’ll also explore how Isaiah 41:15 reminds us that God equips us to “thresh the mountains”—even our own manuscript mountains. Plus, learn the bonus habit of setting handoff deadlines for your editor or accountability friend.

Bonus: Download your free cozy mystery novella, Dead Quiet at the Library, and meet amateur sleuth Gabby Keats in a small-town murder mystery.
