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.

🎧 Inside this episode:

✔️ Why your creative flow feels inconsistent (and how to fix it)

✔️ How daily writing rewires your brain to crave progress—not perfection

✔️ The biblical truth behind daily faithfulness and creative freedom

✔️ A fun faucet-themed sticky note challenge that breaks the “wait for magic” cycle
