a place for your soul to breathe
Stories have always been a happy part of my life. As a girl, I remember sitting in our Iowa basement, typing out scenes on my dad’s black and white typewriter. I even used those strips of white correction tape when I made a mistake. More at (in)courage…
Sometimes I want space and rest so much that I put it up on my someday pedestal and worship it like a shiny little goddess. But there is a difference between soul space and escapism. I’m writing about this at (in)courage today. Join me?
Every time I visit there, I try to guess the writing voice before getting to the bio at the end. Some things give it away, like Ann always uses a blue drop cap and words heavy with grace; Amber’s voice drips with imagery and honest metaphor; Holley speaks like a kindred spirit; Annie tells it like it is, honest and brave; and my sister, when she writes in this space, speaks with the same fun spirit as she does at her place, but we get to see a little different side of her here.
