Lee Roddy created this acrostic for writers:
Do my words really Benefit my readers?
Do they Enrich them?
Are they Relevant
And Timely?
"He went around doing good" Paul writes of Jesus in Acts 10:38
As writers, an instrument through which God can do great things, do we follow Jesus' example: "[going] around doing good"?
Do we take care that the articles, novels, and non-fiction works we painstakingly craft for Him are Beneficial, Enriching, Relevant, and Timely for our prospective readers?
To me, BERT is a powerful acrostic test to administer to all my works. Am I staying focused enough?
Gracious thanks to Marlene Bagnull, author of Write His Answer A Bible Study for Christian Writers for today's blog topic and pertinent material.
Surrendering to Him,
Eileen

I try to do that, even though I write romance. :-) I'd say the E stands for entertaining too. LOL
Oh, yes, I'd definitely agree with the "entertaining" part. We can tweak this to E is for Enrich and Entertain. I like that even better!
