Writing

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.
(Mark Twain)

I am a writer.

There. I’ve said it. I’ve claimed it. I mean it. I love it! I write because I can’t not. I write because there is so much I want to express, understand, explore, articulate, and invite – in others and in myself. I write because it is how I come to understand what I believe, what I value, who I am.

I write about the intersection of faith and feminism. I write about spirituality. I write about the questions and struggles and inconsistencies in my own faith, my own spirituality, my every day life. And I write to provoke, instigate, and even incite thoughts, feelings, movement, and belief/faith/passion in others.

I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at,
what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
(Joan Didion)

So…invite me to write a GUEST POST on the risks and benefits of being an out-loud, truth-telling woman; on ways in which we can understand faith as something far different than what we learned in (and have since rejected from) church; on the many things I’m pretty passionate about: desire, hope, faith, and yes…passion!

Hire me to write an ARTICLE that takes on a spiritual or theological tenant in a new and inviting way; to rewrite a staid Scriptural narrative in a fresh, provocative, maybe even controversial way; to invite women into places of strength, desire, and hope; to consider the integration of feminism into realms of faith and vice-versa.

I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking.
It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
(Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
