Yes, I've been silent lately. It's not the mic. It's me. I've been called out on it more than once this month, and I realized that my just because my readership is silent doesn't mean they don't exist. I've been neglectful, and it's been noticed.
So in order to kick-start my writing all over again, I've decided to start posting up little bits and pieces of stories I've collected throughout my life. Some are real. Some are based on real characters (just kidding. They're all real.) All are mine.
I'm a fan of the vignette (pronounced vin-yet.) I used them often in my personal writing, and they are not really intended to stand alone, as the word itself implies something of a "frame." I like to think of it as a painting: a small slice of time that's meant to hold an emotion. There are some aspects of Christian life--my life in general can't be separated from that anymore--that can't be expressed any better than with a story.
The first one is dedicated to a little girl who I still think of today. There are more coming, interspersed with some regular posts about things that have been on my mind for months.
Here we go.
