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.

You’ve got shadowlands. Every writer does.
That memory you’d rather not revisit. That failure you try not to think about. That bitterness that still flickers when you write certain scenes.
But what if those very things are the richest story fuel you’ve got?
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
✔️ Why your shadow stories aren’t enemies—they’re assets
✔️ How daily writing gives you the courage and skill to explore what you used to avoid
✔️ Why Romans 8:28 isn’t about comfort—it’s about transformation
✔️ A bold 15-minute fiction challenge that turns old wounds into gold
✔️ What it means to stop being the hunted and become the expedition leader
🎧 Listen now.
Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,
Bonnie Jean
