Be/Wilder Writer was born from my long career as a book editor and my passion for exploring the nature of creativity, which I believe is impacted by the state of our interior lives.
A large part of my journey as a writer and as a person who believes in God involves time in the wilderness. That began during COVID when the world was on lockdown and we had nowhere to go but outdoors. I started taking walks alone on nearby trails. That grew into wanting to experience time in the desert like the early Desert Father and Mothers, so I booked a flight to Albuquerque where I tested my physical limits, which seemed to unlock something spiritual in me. I fell in love with New Mexico and the desert night sky.
I worked to find a way to have Be/Wilder Writer include the more mysterious parts of our creativity and humanity. When explored, the interior parts of our lives, which include the feelings, thoughts, and images that flow inside us, can unlock more creativity and increase a sense of communion with our Creator.
