In this episode of Created to Write, we meet Christine Dillon, a multi-genre Christian author, full-time missionary, and one of the most methodical voices in the Christian writing community.

Christine's move into fiction was never part of the plan. She resisted novels for years until her background in oral storytelling gave her both the voice and the confidence to make the leap into contemporary and biblical fiction, a journey that will resonate with any writer who has felt unqualified to try something new.

Her writing process is built around deep scriptural research and a structured forty-card plotting system that manages pacing and character balance with real precision. Combined with the Snowflake Method, it's a practical, replicable framework that makes her approach invaluable for new writers.

Christine also speaks passionately about community, crediting peer accountability and professional networking as essential to her growth because writing as a Christian was never meant to be done alone.

Craft, calling, and scripture. Christine holds all three with equal intentionality.

Christine Dillon is a missionary and the daughter of missionaries. She was raised in Taiwan and went to school in Malaysia and the Philippines before spending 22 years in Taiwan. Writing was an unexpected journey and started with writing non-fiction (discipleship and evangelism/storytelling). She has now written a 6-book series of contemporary Christian fiction and the first five books in an Old Testament-era series. In the spaces of life, she enjoys the great outdoors and birdwatching. www.storytellerchristine.com
