The Writer's Dilema
One thing about being a scriptwriter is that sometimes you have to put yourselves in someone's shoes, you go under someone's skin to listen to their heart and to bring that voice out in your writing. It is one thing when you are writing fiction, another when you are basing your writing on someone's life, someone's heart song.
I have been writing for a programme that requires me to peer into the tapestry of two souls who have lost their loved ones. One is a parent and one is a wife... both are roles that I play in my life. Reading their accounts, reading about their struggles, reading about the beautiful testimony of faith that their loved ones have left them, I cannot help but wish I could reach out to hug them.
The LORD bless me to write their stories in a way to touch hearts. To give me the wisdom to tell of the TRUTH behind their loved ones' courage even as I tread the thin line between writing for my faith, and writing within the boundaries set upon me by my employers.
