I write lesfic, and I write religion, and the two do not often mix. There are some places that this works, but most likely, whatever I write with a women loving women bent and religion is not going to take off. I know this, but still I write it. Why? Because lesbians are Christians and … Continue reading Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory

Open when you have doubts about God… #openwhen #loveletters

As most of you, or at least some of you, might know, I dapple in the world of ministry.

Now, I obviously love and enjoy writing and the … Continue reading Writing for speech
