I look at my stories as living things, organisms that have grown up out of the soil of their creation and taken on a life of their own. Their make up, personality, or whatever you want to call it, is inherent in their being, it is in their flesh and bones. My stories are not soapboxes for me to stand on and shout my opinions to the world. There are no messages pasted on, wrapped up, or otherwise added on. If they speak to a reader, they speak out of their own organic being. And, I find, that often has more to do with the reader him or herself, than with anything I might have done as a writer. - Organic Storyteller: An Interview with Stephen Lawhead –

I was made to be a writer, and I was always a storyteller and a writer from the time I was a kid. I would draw comics up in my room, I wrote stories on my mom’s power portable typewriter. I would tell stories to the neighborhood kids under the back porch. So that was in formation when I was real small and all the way through my childhood. It took a long time for me to really realize that’s what I was supposed to do. I knew there could be a career in writing, at least I thought there was. I mean Arthur Conan Doyle did it, and Mark Twain did it. Those were my some of my favorite authors back then.
I remember thinking, ‘I would sure love to be
another Walt Disney’. We loved watching the old Disneyland shows on
TV. Davy Crockett, and all those wonderful stories, the Sorcerer’s
Apprentice, with Mickey Mouse, Treasure Island. It was just so cool.
And I was just caught up in the magic of all that. I still am.
Because it just really resonated with me. I knew that’s what I wanted to
do. There were distractions that came along as I lived life. I tried being a
musician, and a carpenter, worked in a print shop, and I tried being in the
ministry for a while.

What should I study to become a writer?
People. Why they do what they do, how they do it, how they speak, their body language. After that—study just about anything. Everything you learn will make you a better writer (I do not regret getting that microbiology degree. I drew heavily on it when I wrote SHIVERING WORLD). Read widely—you should be writing the kind of literature that you love to read. Read the best—and if you spent good money on a book, but you discover when you’re five or fifty pages into it that it isn’t as good as it looked in the bookstore, throw it away! You’ve already wasted the money; why waste your precious time? Everything you read, observe, hear, and do—it all will become part of you, and your writing.
