My vision for this blog is rather simple. I am hoping to create a simple place where I can store, distribute and talk about the things that I am writing. I want to use it as a place to explore for myself what I am writing and where I am headed as a writer, but I would also love for it to be a place where I can interact with anyone who has enough interest to read what I write.

I’m planning on putting way more content on here than anyone will ever want to read, with the hopes that having it all there, I can start to sort through what is working and not working, and get feedback on that process as I go. I plan on putting up portions of books that I have written in the past but am not actively working on, like Winged, my fantastical retelling of the three Nephites story, posting new portions of books that I am actively working on, like Fleeing Eden a near-future dystopia about a family torn apart by competing loyalties to Church and personal identity, and of course, giving access to the one book I have actually finished Hot Chocolate in Here. I might even get the urge to put up old college papers in a exhibition of “here’s how little I know about anything significant.”

If you want to support this project, all I ask is that you follow along as much as you would like, comment as much as you feel comfortable, and if you really feel excited about supporting and encouraging me as a writer drop me a small Paypal donation. I appreciate your support.

The whole idea of this endeavor makes me incredibly frightened and self-conscious. It also makes me very excited. I believe that whether anyone ever reads what I write, the dedication of a small portion of my time to writing down the stories that play in my head is a worthwhile endeavor. However, I would love to share what I’ve written with others, without going through the increasingly dubious process of entering into the corporate publishing world (yes, WordPress is corporate just like Whole Foods, but hey).

So, thanks for joining me on this journey. Hopefully it ends up being worth both our whiles, and transports us to a land where everything I dream is possible. If you want everything you dream to be possible, make your own site. I promise I will read some of it.
