Welcome!

My name is April. I never really know what to put for these things. Well, as you can probably tell, I’m a writer. I have loved writing since I was a kid scribbling stories about strong gusts of wind carrying me and my friends away during recess, or poems on the nature of clouds. Now, as an adult, I write mostly short fiction, creative nonfiction, and the occasional poem. My writing tends to revolve around the seemingly mundane, place, and the difficult and beautiful things ordinary people encounter. 

My goal for this blog is to simply write about the good, the true, and the beautiful hidden in the plain sight of our day-to-day lives. That doesn’t mean excluding to write about the hard stuff of life, or ignoring it; instead, I aim to draw out the hope in such topics.

On a more personal note, I love Jesus, my husband Jaden, family, cats, reading, gardening, baking, traveling, lovely walks outside, and good conversations with friends over coffee.
