Life has carried to some very unexpected places and through some powerful experiences. My twenty eight years on this world have felt full and more satisfying than not. The greatest source of satisfaction has come from freedom; both experiencing it and telling others about it. If you’ve followed along this blog, you know about how God stepped into my life and freed me from the prison of pornography. His prison break was the first step in a long journey towards…
I’ve started working on a couple fiction projects and one thing has become clear; my writing skills need improvement. I still believe in my story ideas but I’m coming to realize I need solid writing skills to get my stories into people’s imaginations.
