Thereās a book inside you. A message that wonāt leave you alone.
But between fear, responsibility, doubt ā and now the rise of AI ā you keep startingā¦ and stopping.
Welcome to The Adventurous Author Podcast.
Iām Bonnie Jean Schaefer ā fantasy author D.K. Drake ā and Iāve published four novels while working a full-time job. I didnāt 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 ā 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 ā 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 youāve been hiding, doubting, or wondering where you fit in this new creative world ā youāre not alone.
Letās adventurize your life and rise from stuck...together.
