My First Post!

Well, I guess I thought long and hard about making a blog, but I didn't really think about what I would say on the first post, so I'll just start with what the heart of this blog is about. 

Here's the thing, I write. A lot. I want to learn how to write consistently, clearly and fearlessly. My goal is to post on this blog at least twice a week. That will help me learn how to write often and get over my fear of having other people judge my work. Sometimes I will post stories, poems, life updates, book lists, movie reviews or some thoughts that swarm through my head. Hopefully, I'll learn how to express my thoughts and ideas with clarity and brevity. Oh and maybe, just maybe, my grammar will improve (or ya know I'll just use Grammarly). 

I guess this is all I have to say at the moment and I don't really know how to end a post. That'll have to be one of the things I work on as well :) Thanks for reading this and I hope that you find a five dollar bill laying around and that food never gets in your teeth.

    You blow my mind, Beautiful. What courage it takes to step out; I'm super excited for you. (And for all of us who will get the treat of reading your blog!!) I will pray that God will continue anointing you for and blessing, encouraging, showing Himself Faithful to you - and all of us - through this brave, tender, highly valuable endeavor.

An Open Letter To My Hurting Friends

Image
I've been working on this for months and it's not quite done, but I figured it's decent enough to share. It's mean't to be a slam poem, but I don't want to record me reciting it, so y'all'll (you all will) have to be content with just the thing itself. And yea, I realize its excessively long. So, without further ado, here's An Open Letter To My Hurting Friend; Hey. Look I know we don’t talk a lot and I think it’s a fair assessment to say that you and I are both socially awkward and would have no idea how to act if this letter was carried into conversational form, so I wrote it instead. You’re going through a lot. More than I can honestly relate too. Sometimes I’ll think about my day and then your name is splayed across the fabric of my mind And I want to take this burden away from you. I don’t know what to say, and I don’t truly understand, I don’t know a verse, song or poem that will brighten the days and I don’t know how to ...

*insert clever title*

             Saltwater burned into my eyes and mouth, soaking my clothes and the bitter air churned my blood into ice. I gripped the side of the ship in a useless effort to remain steady as I observed my fellow crewmates. Our captain was tied behind the wheel, every muscle in his body straining to keep us afloat as my crewmates struggled to maintain both the rigging and their footing. The crack of lightning was almost comforting when compared with the thrashing waves, but then it was replaced with the vile laugh of the monster who’d put us here. My Father was the King of our world, and for decades he’d fought against the evil Sorcerer. It was as if good and evil, darkness and light, deception and truth, were waging an unending war for power. I left my life as a prince and became a seaman. I found a loyal crew and had sailed with them for years, but then The Sorcerer captured us and locked us in this brutal sea of tears that only my...

The Fishing Boat Trials

Image
I’d already lost two of my passengers and my last one had succumbed to the ending he believed wad the inevitable. Sharks gnashed their serrated teeth across my hull and breached into the air, reaching for my lone passenger’s limbs. It was almost impossible for me to stay afloat. The Great Storm claimed my mast, leaving the searing pain coursing through my body as the only reminder of the life i had once lived. I’m only a fishing boat but I’ve seen some things. I’ve seen burly men brought to their knees  praying to foreign gods for protection from the storms and monsters of the deep. I’ve seen nets overflowing with fish, so full that even I couldn’t carry the load. I’ve seen fellow boats surrender their cargo and captains to the frothing waves in a frantic plight to stay above water. I’ve seen the jagged rocks that have christened themselves the graveyard of my kinsmen. I’ve survived so much, but I didn’t know how I’d survive this. A fortnight ago, my captain and hi...
