Rising Star Adventures and Beyond

2023 book purpose of passion

One thing has lacked in all my planning this last month. I wanted to try writing a western this year. However, the last couple of year's stories had a purpose of passion. The first novel was to help people through the grieving process. The second novel was to deal with peer pressure and spiritual warfare.

I am having a hard time getting into this third one as much. I think it's because I am lacking a sense of purpose for it. How can this novel help my readers aside from just entertainment purposes?

I think for me, I have to put that part of my religious self into it. I can't keep it out of it and write with passion.

So, why am I writing this novel?

Possible religious connotations:
What if Randy develops/grows his own relationship with God?
What if his mother is angry with God for what happened to her son?
What if Randy rebels against God?
What if the novel shows the power of prayer?

I think I like the idea of showing the power of prayer and developing a personal relationship with God. Maybe the power of prayer could be shown through the mother's and friends' prayers and Randy can develop a closer relationship to God while he is going through his ordeal. I think I like this passionate purpose for my novel.
