ProveText 1472. What I’m Really Writing on Sabbatical (It’s Not What You Think) | Sabbatical Insider
What do you actually do on sabbatical?
In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Professor Frederick J. Long shares a candid look into his sabbatical life in Arizona—from family time and pacing work, to writing a fantasy/sci-fi novel he began over 20 years ago.
Along the way, Fred reflects on:
- Writing fiction as a form of theological reflection
- Theodicy and the meaning of evil as “bad on purpose”
- Creating new worlds, creatures, and language
- The discipline (and grace) of aiming for 500 words a day
- How imagination, grammar, and conceptualization shape how we think
This episode is part personal journal, part writing workshop, and part theological reflection—especially for scholars, writers, and anyone navigating rest, productivity, and purpose.
