STORY IS REVELATORY

Your point of view as a human being is going to come over in your work whether you know it or not. There’s no way you can hide it. So if you are a Christian, your work is going to be Christian. There’s no way you can hide that. If you’re not, you can talk about Jesus all you like and it’s not going to be Christian. If you are someone who cares about human beings, that’s going to come over in your work. If you are indifferent to the fate of other people, that’s also going to show.

You cannot hide yourself, and that’s a very scary thing–particularly true, oddly enough, in fiction. Sometimes in nonfiction you can hide yourself behind statistics and fact, but in fiction you are writing story, and story is revelatory. One of the wonderful things that comes out of story is that you not only find out more about your characters, ultimately you are helping to write your own story.

Madeleine L’Engle Herself, compiled by Carole F. Chase, p. 145
