Hi! Welcome to my literature blog!
I am writing this blog in hopes that I might:
- Express my thoughts, reflections, and memories tied to literature. I tend to focus on themes, drawing on the history of the literary work.
- Provide a safe area for others to share their thoughts and memories on said literature.
- By providing the first two, to promote critical thinking and a feeling of shared experience around the literature discussed. Yay for literature!
I invite you to comment! I am interested to hear about your thoughts and reflections on these literary works. Please keep your comments appropriate and positive as much as possible.

I always dreamed of being a writer, but never thought I could make money doing it. So, after earning a BA in English and honing my reading, analytical, and writing skills, I settled for a more "stable" career in ministry (joking, of course!), bringing my love for the written word to my Biblical studies as I learned Greek and Hebrew, Exegesis and Theology while getting an MA in Theological Studies.
I've worked in various ministry capacities in the church: children's minister, ministry staff (aka, "whatever needs doing"), ESL teacher, youth intern, and others.
Though this blog is mostly about classic literature, I will probably throw in some thoughts on writing, occasional theological musings, or my reflections on emotional health, psychology, philosophy, or cultural topics. I am a thinker and a lover of many things!
I am currently pursuing publishing my first children's novel while doing freelance writing (my profile here: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~0104b8a9e8c1253315/).
I like to paint (and may share some of them here someday!), enjoy the outdoors, learning, reading, and growing. I also love learning about other people and helping them to realize their gifts and potential.
