Starting my own website feels a bit like shoving off to sea! It’s exciting and there’s a certain uncertainty to it all… As far as this part goes, I expect my blog to be a mix of long rambles, cheesy one-liners and little snippets of writing that I loved, but for the good of the over-all piece had to be edited out.
I’ve written for a while… for other people. I’ve LOVED writing for God Thru the Arts and for The Cultivating Project. I was honored to write a chapter in Matthew Clark‘s upcoming book (and companion to his album of the same name) “Only The Lover Sings” (publishing date May 6th!) and when I’ve been invited to share a Communion Exhortation with a church I’m honored to do so. I plan to continue doing this as long as they’ll have me, but writing a story or an essay and sharing it apart from a given theme from and for an external entity is not something I’ve historically been brave enough to do. Oh to be sure I have several stories started in Word docs on my computer, but finishing them was terrifying, and, if I’m honest, it felt a little selfish to devote a lot of time to them when there wasn’t an identifiable purpose that could justify taking that time away from my family (or pillows).
But that was the old-Adam! New-Adam has a website now! 😀 I’m here to “try to be brave”. And I’m looking forward to what this new adventure brings. Perhaps one day those stories will find their way to completion, publication, maybe even a few will land in a physical book. Who knows? But I’m excited to see where this leads – even if all it’s meant to be is a little corner of the interwebs where I get to share stuff with friends that gives them a little courage for their own lived stories.
Thanks for stopping by!
Bon Voyage!
