Hannah, it is I, Heidi of ‘just the words’
(Your link came up in my site thingummy as I was drinking off my daily pot of tea. I really don’t usually materialise like this out of nowhere freakily.) Just wanted to leave a note that this:
“I am a Christian, Reformed and Presbyterian and a home-school graduate who loves stories and writing.”
Could pretty much describe me, too. Though I fear that my journey into womanhood, which you mention later, is mostly behind me, and fairly bumpily performed. How truly nice to meet you over Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma (they’ve done another beautiful song here, and probably more I don’t know about). (Not sure what you’re like on Christmas, but hopefully it’s okay to enjoy well done carols in October even for the most uber of uber-reformed
)
I hope it’s okay if I browse around — I’m interested in your thoughts on writing.

Hello, Heidi! It’s nice to see you!
I love Christmas carols. I’ll go check that out!
Why is it that growing up is such a bumpy process, I wonder?

“Why is it that growing up is such a bumpy process, I wonder?”
I think in part, because sin is — not necessarily ‘childish’ which is not a bad thing — but ‘immature’: a sinful reality requires self denying grace to come to grips with and an idolatrous nature prefers its own flattering make believe world; so our old nature really, really doesn’t want to grow up. We have to be jerked along, kicking and screaming, by Mercy.
Re: writing: I noticed you said something about ‘rhythm’ in prose writing, which was interesting as most people don’t seem to consider this except in poetry (and even then . . . ) Have you posted any of your writing that has the kind of rhythm you were referring to? (yes I ended a sentence with a preposition
)

The category “Stories” has all of my writings that I’ve posted on here or given invitations to be privately read and critiqued. Hopefully, some of them will have that rhythm!
