You may have realized by now that I enjoy writing. The testament to that can be found on nearly every page throughout this site. You can likely attribute my tendencies to the quality of the teachers & professors who instructed me. Or perhaps it's also partly a reflection of years of practice and years of journaling my own Bible study notes.
Either way, here's a brief glimpse into just a sampling of a few writing endeavors:
On a few occasions, I've written text for various brochures, promo materials, & websites. While I don't have the finely-tuned skills that an established copywriter would have, here are two samples of marketing-style text for a few self-promotional pieces of mine designed to complement the accompanying visuals. (And these images are now viewable on a mobile device…)
BLOG : FAITH + POLITICS + TECHNOLOGY
Most of my writing has been in the form of commentary concerning political & cultural issues, as well as certain tech topics. And yes, I previously failed to mention that occasionally I also cover faith & spirituality. If you'd care to take a look, the most recent form of my blog can be found at this website: https://drawingconclusions.tumblr.com/
PROSE + POETRY
And I've also been known to pen other types of works, and below is just one example. (Don't worry, I promise I won't share my haikus from elementary school…)
Ten shadows pierce the stillness; twice as many
wounds and ever-present, ever-burning scars.
Words. Irretrievable. Imperfect.
Insignificant?
I alone, with cold, careless syllables,
wrecked the span that stretched between us: a deep divide.
A withering. A paralysis. A forever bleeding.
Light we shared, remnants of yesterday,
echoes bitterly, echoes endlessly in my mind.
Irretrievable.
My words are lost, unreachable,
gripped by this unforgiving river and its raging tide.
A bottle. A capsule. A message within.
Irretrievable.
Ten words pierce the stillness; yet only One,
two are needed to begin again.
