Matters of Faith 1: Writing Belief Systems
I deal with religion, magic, faith, or some sort of spiritual belief system in most of my books and quite a few of my short stories. If not the main thread, these form at least a subtle part of the world in which my characters operate.
These are not simple things to write about and there are a number of pitfalls inherent in dealing with matters of faith in a fictional context, whether you’re writing about existing religions (your own or someone else’s) or making one up for a future or otherworldly culture.
