I Have an Idea

Maybe this has been done already, but pages of Googling have not turned up anything quite like what I'm thinking of. What if there was some sort of monastic group for Christian writers and artists? I mean an order you can join without leaving family responsibilities, like the Order of Saint Patrick. But this would … Continue reading I Have an Idea

Joy, Nonfiction

Just wanted to say hi. I feel so much joy. I've been praying more, and the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me. I have also been reading a book about creative nonfiction called "Bending Genre." I love it. This book is opening me up to so many possibilities. Docupoetics is one I'm interested in. … Continue reading Joy, Nonfiction

I didn't have anything in particular in mind when I walked in, but I walked out with 8 books! From embroidery to biography to sociology, the books span many subjects. … Continue reading Lovely Day!

Interview

Today, I did a delightful interview with a German social science researcher about the trad wife movement, what brought me to it, how was I raised, etc. The researcher was very nice and friendly, and I'd be glad to help her in the future. She said something too that really stuck with me. I told … Continue reading Interview

New Visual/Poetic Project

I am beginning a new project that is part surreal poetry, part visual art. I am using typography as a visual art form. The very shape and color of letters and words on a page can be visual art, irrespective of meaning. I want to create a book of visual and verbal poetry/art. I want … Continue reading New Visual/Poetic Project
