In this episode of Created to Write, author coach Colin Murugiah shares a writing journey that began at fifteen and hasn't slowed down since. A sprawling, scripture-rooted adventure at the intersection of Christian writing and speculative fiction.

Colin blends science fiction and fantasy to reflect biblical principles and the nature of God's kingdom, making him a distinctive voice in Christian creativity. His current world-building project spans twenty-five years and multiple author collaborations, the kind of long-game vision that challenges every Christian writer to think beyond the next deadline.

His message cuts through the noise: stop chasing external validation and start pursuing divine collaboration. Consistent spiritual discipline, he argues, is the true engine of creativity and patience, grace, and deep scriptural connection are whatseparate a maturing craft from a stalled one.

For any new writer wondering whether their niche is too unusual or their timeline too long, Colin's story is the answer.

Colin has been writing since he was around seventeen or so. Before that, he had sporadic spurts that resulted in several pages of writing, but it was more indicators of a burgeoning writer rather than actually being a writer. Since then, he has worked on numerous projects including various collaborations with friends for fun. His main project is a labour of love, a science-fantasy epic, that has been twenty-five years in the making and still counting.In the last three years, he has gone pro as an author coach and has been working with other authors to help them with their books. At the time of writing this bio, one book out of a fantasy series is on its final chapter, and another science fiction series is also under construction. He also helps with nonfiction. When he isn’t doing that, he’s overseeing a writing group, researching, or doing other non-writery things. He is easily found on Facebook, so contacting him there is a good bet. https://www.facebook.com/colin.murugiah
