"Give me sentences that are true,

sentences that are naked bodies.

Give me paragraphs that rush and yield

like a girl dancing alone.

Give me words that smell like autumn."

Welcome!

It's fitting that I begin this blog as autumn army-crawls into Minnesota, a stealthy chill! It was only about a week ago that the heat was stifling me in my office, and now, just days later, I am sleeping in sweatpants under a thick comforter. Gotta love Minnesota.

Why a new blog?

Ashley Thorman wrote to me on Facebook: I would love if your [book] list was updated. Along with if you blogged about what you were reading?? I would like to hear your thoughts while going through it.

My thoughts: how about if I blogged about both what I'm reading and writing?

Words are the building blocks of my life.

Very quickly:
1) The Word. Jesus Christ. My foundation.
2) The Word. Scripture. My guidance.
3) My novel. My project.
4) Literature. My inspiration.
5) Spoken words. My relationships.

I hope you will enjoy this! I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please comment often!

In Christ Jesus,
Jackie
