That’s some pretty heavy stuff. For me (I’m 17), I try to stay away from all that stuff. Not because it doesn’t happen, and not because Christians shouldn’t address it, but because I’d rather write from an optimists point of view…encouraging good relationships, and leave the pessimist (dealing with hard relationships) to someone else.

One of the biggest “checks” I have in my writing is letting my family read most of it. I try not to write what I wouldn’t want my 9 year old sister to read (not that I don’t deal with tough topics or have graphic-ish scenes, I just keep it clean), or I’d be afraid to show my parents because of content.

I think the decision is really up to you and God. Do you feel that you can accurately portray sin as sin in a light of the Bible?

Hope that helps a bit. We all have to think through these things as writers.
