#WritersCoffeeClub 20. What role does religion play in your writing?
(Nice of you to ask just when I am flabbergasted after reading that there are people who make something out of 'talent' vs. 'gift'. On Poetry Foundation, too. Has anybody else ever heard that before?)
I've been interested in theology and comparative religion for decades without ever being religious. Outdated observance makes an appearance in this WIP and MC hopes for a while that religion will provide answers. It doesn't.
