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

Vacation

Our vacation has been wonderful. Yesterday we went to the Salvador Dali museum. Seeing his art again was incredible (MY husband and I visited before on a romantic trip years ago), and I got new books I'm excited about. One is biographies of surrealists, one is about Leonora Carrington....and one is letters between Lorca and … Continue reading Vacation

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 have done almost all my Christmas shopping I don't think I have mentioned this before, but I recently started a trad wife tumblr. I don't write about my daily life there … Continue reading Christmas Break

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
