Writing is one of my joys in life, and something I want to challenge myself to do more often. I created this blog simply as a place to practice and publish my writing on sundry subjects that interest me. I hope it will bring amusement and entertainment to those few people who choose to read.

When I think of the things I am most passionate about, the subjects on which I am most likely to have things to say, they largely fall into the categories of faith, fiction, or feminism. Here is a brief elucidation of what each of these topics means to me…

Faith
“Christianity is the story I will wrestle with forever.” (Rachel Held Evans, Wholehearted Faith)  My worldview was shaped by Christianity, and while my theology, beliefs, opinions, and practices continue to evolve, faith will always define a large part of who I am and what I care about. My struggle with the beauty and ugliness, good and harm, that faith can bring into the world will often show up in what I choose to write about. 

Fiction
I love storytelling. Be it in books, television, movies, anywhere – a good story is one of my favorite things in life. I believe fiction plays a vital role in society, on both cultural and personal levels. Stories speak to my soul in many beautiful ways, so I write about the fiction that I love in all its forms.

Feminism
I’m not scared of the word. I have no qualms in declaring myself a feminist, and I think you should be too! While I’m all-in with feminism as a theory of or advocacy for gender equality, it also means more to me than just that. When I refer to feminism here I mean all aspects of being female: my role as a mom or a wife or a voter or an advocate for female church leadership. Many feminine topics interest me, and to me, that’s all feminist.
