As a Writer

As a writer I often begin at the moment I fell in love with Jesus.

I begin there because it is the beginning of things for me, the beginning of everything good and true. It is the root of my honest and real self, set out on a journey of forever coming to know The One Who Made Me more intimately. But it is not like that for everyone.

So, as I write, I try to remember that time, I reimagine that moment and see myself facing a crossroads, to go down the dark path or one much brighter and full of hope. In my novels and some of my short stories (yet to be published), some of my characters choose the dark path. In my writings you meet some of these and you are left with an aimlessness, a restlessness, as souls adrift on a hopeless sea of want. It is there I explore the darker passages of the heart and the corrupt intentions of broken man. Yet the light overcomes the darkness. It always does.

Thank you for coming along on my journey as a writer. I continue my work on novels, short stories, and poetry, and submit regularly to those that publish such things.

My essays are published twice monthly on my Substack A Curious Light, and distributed into your email as text and audio, as well as a podcast at A Curious Light Podcast. Subscribe free or paid. I would love to see you there among my subscribers.

The journey continues.

Blessing all,

Henry
