Welcome. This site contains resources for those interested in writing about their spiritual journeys. In addition to an annotated bibliography and an introduction to the genre of spiritual memoir, I post weekly writing exercises and monthly reflections on writing as a spiritual practice. I hope to be a support and resource for writers daring to tell the truth about their lives.Monthly Columns:
The Prospectus: Sifting through Church & Faith for the Good Grain
Seeing Anew: Revising Prose, Self, & the WorldWeekly Writing Exercises:
Suggestions for writing about the spiritual life.Writing News:
An essay I wrote years ago for The View From the Loft is in Milkweed Editions' new book on writing, Views from the Loft. Join us for the publication celebration at The Loft on September 9th at 7:00 p.m. See www.loft.org for more information.
Blessings on you, dear reader.
May the rigor of learning to write well deepen your insights, widen
your relationships, and enlarge the sacred presence you bring into the
world.
