Writing


“You’re right.” I faced her, but she remained in profile. “We live in darkness from
the moment we’re born. But even one light dispels hundreds of shadows.” At her words, the walls grew in brightness, illuminating her face.

I turned away. “I don’t have any light to offer. Not anymore.”

Excerpt from Lily’s Passage

Writers write.

Sounds simple, but it’s something we tend to lose sight of when we see the finished product. Behind every inspiring post or informative article is someone who strung the words together, probably while wearing pajamas and drinking their third cup of coffee. Or maybe that’s just me.

No matter how it gets done, writing is about people. Because those words are meant for someone.

I write for people with a story to share. Especially those hard stories that move me to tears. Because I write to shed light into the darkness of this world, to offer hope where all seems dim. And I know I’m not the only one with stories to tell.

Sometimes, the stories I write about aren’t my own, but the ones others have entrusted to me. So whether you came looking for adventure or a place to meander, let me be the soul who walks beside you.
