How do you know whether God has called you to write—and what happens when your writing life doesn't look like everyone else's?

What happens when someone genuinely wants to hear about your writing—and your faith? An unexpected conversation reminded me that Christian writers need to be prepared not only to write about our calling, but to talk about it.
