There’s a book inside you. A message that won’t leave you alone.
But between fear, responsibility, doubt — and now the rise of AI — you keep starting… and stopping.
Welcome to The Adventurous Author Podcast.
I’m Bonnie Jean Schaefer — fantasy author D.K. Drake — and I’ve published four novels while working a full-time job. I didn’t quit my life to write. I built systems that made finishing possible inside it.
Now I help stuck Christian writers do the same.
This podcast is discipleship through storytelling.
We follow a simple framework:
Start with WHO.
Anchor your identity in Christ so fear loses leverage — especially in an AI age where identity matters more than ever.
Live Your Story.
Build sustainable 15-minute systems that fit your real life.
Win Your Race.
Finish what God called you to start — and become the kind of person who keeps finishing.
Every season rotates through identity, systems, and storytelling mastery in a structured spiral of growth.
If you’ve been hiding, doubting, or wondering where you fit in this new creative world — you’re not alone.
Let’s adventurize your life and rise from stuck...together.

Want to be a writer? Then stop waiting to feel like one. In today’s episode, we break down why writing daily—before it feels important or justified—is the key to transforming from “I want to be a writer” to “I am a writer.” Through the story of a soldier in combat, we explore why discipline beats inspiration every time.
🚀 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why showing up daily makes you a real writer
✅ How discipline fuels creativity (not the other way around)
✅ The shift from waiting for inspiration to writing on command
🔥 Challenge for Today:
Write one sentence. Not because you feel ready. But because writers write.
