I have been on a whirl-wind spiritual journey since December 2010. I LOVE to write, I un-faithfully keep a journal becuase that sems kind of pointless at times. I am wondering if anyone knows of any outlets for writing about spirituality for someone like me who is not an authority on spirituality adn nto a professional writer? I went to confession at a different parish with my 3 son’s before Christmas and after my 3 boys filed in and out and then I went in he asked me a few questions and I gave him a brief rundown and he told me I should share my story…my priest would probably not be super excited about that, but maybe not… 🙂
 
Have you thought about a blog (an online journal, really but “blog” has become the catch-all term)?

If you want to share your reflections on a regular basis and even get feedback, this is one way to go. But post regularly or readers will give up until you establish yourself - unless you are a “must read”. Maybe you are 👍.
 
Blog, that’s what I do - then pitch it to some media outlets.
 
I am with the others on this. A blog sounds like a great idea. 👍

When you find out, let me know will you. I keep getting these hints I should be “writing”, but it’s not “my” idea (let’s say it’s never been one of my personal ambitions to be a ‘writer’). It’s one thing to send off short forum responses which only take a minute or two to type up, but quite another to write an article or book, and then try to find a market for it. Apart from all the self discipline that’s required …

As a consequence I keep dragging me feet.

So if you get any good ideas, let me know.

OK 🙂 Sounds good. I see you are a an “Ex Protestant” I am too. Maybe that has something to do with it 😉
 
Blogging is a good way to go as an outlet for your writing. Keeping a private journey is another one. It is a good idea to write down your conversion story anyway. As time goes on your might not remember things the same or as you progress in your journey you might have more insight into things that you wrote earlier on. Writing is a great vehicle to help you and others share in your journey. I started a blog too.
