Hello friends! My apologies for leaving you hanging all month! I went camping last week and I meant to send out at least an email before I left but … that never happened. 😂 If you are wondering about my last post’s cliffhanger, yes, I’m still planning to start doing art commissions very soon! And…
I did an art dump blog post back in February, and it seems like we’re due for more doodles! Last time you got an unforeseen amount of cats. This time your challenge is to spot all the art inspired by Lord of the Rings that seeped its way into my collection! (Don’t miss the special…
My tween and early teen years have been the hardest of my very short life. Yeah, I’m only a little less than 17. But I remember that season of life being really rough. Those were the years I started to feel like an outsider looking in whenever I hung out with my friend group. When…
Today I have the pleasure of sharing a delightful story by nine-year-old Elliot Allen with you all. His story, “Broccoli for Dinner,” was a runner-up in the Turning Point Short Story Contest. I enjoyed this story immensely. Before the contest was judged, I set certain criteria for judging, but if it weren’t for that criteria…

Its authors started this website when…
Whatever time of year it is, writing is hard. Consistently getting words on the page is a challenge. And writing a whole book’s worth of words is a real feat. As a new writer, it can be a daunting task to learn how to write well. A huge part of writing well is practicing consistently…
Today I have a short piece to share called “Dragon Bones.” It was inspired by an image as a prompt, and full credit for the image goes to Stefan Koidl. This piece is in the perspective of a boy named Dan and also features a little sister named Lilly. No relation to any Dans or…
Math has never been my favorite subject. Most of the time, I’d like to be drawing a picture or writing a story—or even an essay—rather than trying to whittle down the infinite possible solutions to a mathematical problem until I find the right one. Do you dislike math? The bad news is that if you…
I had an article called “The Four Faithful Women Who Open Exodus” published on The Wilting Rose Project recently! This particular piece has an interesting history. I actually first wrote it almost two years ago. When I was reading Exodus, I was very excited to notice that God was working through several women in the…
