Award-winning Christian author Lynn Austin captives an audience at the main historic Carnegie Library in Paulding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Award-winning Christian author Lynn Austin spoke Friday evening at the main Carnegie library in Paulding. Austin read from her book,Wonderland Creek, and explained to the audience her method of writing. She shared that as an author she first starts with an inspiration or idea. Then, she researches the idea. In the case of Wonderland Creek, she researched the pack horse librarians in rural Kentucky of the 1930s. Austin then creates a character and describes the world of the character. Conflict is introduced by disrupting the world of the main character. Some authors, she shares, develop the plot of their stories by planning the entire plot from beginning to end. Others \u201cfly by the seat of their pants\u201d, as she does. She may introduce a character in a scene, not knowing what role the character will play further in the story. Her character will change throughout the story as the conflicts impact her world. In the end, a resolution will develop, not necessarily what the reader expects, but an ending that is satisfying nonetheless. Lynn shared her philosophy that life is hard, but God is good. She writes from a Christian world view. She wants you to laugh, to cry, to think.
