Welcome to Inking Out Loud
If you find yourself culturally lost in a rising hurricane of microcultures that may or may not represent you, perhaps IOL is the place for you.
If you’re curious how we got to the present state of cultural affairs, IOL might be a good publication to read for hot takes and unusual analysis connecting the odd dots together.
If you’re spiritual or religious, and looking for a different take from the faith landscape from a woman who used to be both an Atheist and a witch, before converting to Roman Catholicism, IOL might be your cup of tea.
If you’re politically homeless, regardless of conservatism or liberal or anything in between in your leanings, IOL could offer some shared frustration.
If you’re a lover of fantasy, speculative, and science fiction, of random bits of romantic poetry and slices of humor, Christian religious themes, stories of action, heroes, fairies, dastardly villains, strange yet familiar landscapes, and contemporary stories around the struggle for self and meaning in the modern life, IOL has a lot to offer.
If you’re looking for something different from a working class person with philosophical, theological, and existential questions, and don’t mind a conservative lean that explores as many angles as possible, IOL might just be up your alley.
IOL is an eclectic publication. While I’m not a Renaissance woman, a-jack-of-all-trades, nor master of none, I write where my interests take me, from noting the social faux pas of nabbing someone else’s engagement ring to elevating ordinary people to falsely heroic standards, or watching in shock as our literary darlings reveal themselves to be monstrous people.
Mom to a little one, I strive to publish every week on Mondays, but sometimes the baby gets the better of me.
A professional writer and editor of more than fifteen years, I try to bring an honest perspective and cut through the proverbial crap that keeps getting slung at us.Inking Out Loud is personal fiction for the purpose of entertaining readers and writing well. Simple as that.
Read for curiosity, stay for the quality. Or, you can buy me a beer and drop me a tip. (I’m a fan of Guinness for the record.)
Pax vobiscum.
