Rough Draft ¶aragraphs

It is amazing how distracting thoughts can be! It is as if questions, stories, and ideas are playful creatures that attack my attention and won’t let go. With little to no warning they seize my day, capture my imagination and there is only one way to wrestle them into cooperation—write them! I must take hold of the abstract and put it into physical form.  This form may be a sad poem, a funny story, or even a compelling question, but take shape they do. As they take the shapes of letters and words onto paper or screen, their hold loosens and I pick up the pieces of my day as though a battle never occurred. But I am not the same. Sometimes these ideas are outside hiding on the wind, in the pages of a book, or in the otherwise imperceptible growth of a child. However, those ideas do not bring a copy editor. Sometimes I don’t see the whole story, the entire idea, or I am only left with questions I must set out to find. Truth be told, sometimes I get bored and go hunting these ideas on my own.

If you believe that truth is real and objective, that its country and creatures are so wide and vast like a land begging to be explored, then maybe you should join me in the hunt.  Through story, poems, and composition of ideas I hope create a fun and thoughtful place to explore ideas. Why don’t you join this new community. Maybe you too will find your own ideas, inspirations, and questions to explore in the virtual pages of Rough Draft ¶aragraphs.

J. A. Goggans

Man of Science or Man of Faith?
J. A. Goggans felt this was a false dichotomy and graduated with both a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and a Bachelor of Science in Biology with Teacher Licensure. She wrapped the two up with a minor in Communications. She has led five Classical homeschool classes and co-ops. These classes spanned all subjects and a variety of levels from the Grammar stages through the Dialectic stages. She led and explained Science Projects, the puzzles of Latin, and the basics of Art and Music. She challenged her students to see that Math was beautiful and prompted them with questions in Literature and Writing of short stories. She loves learning new things, a good story, her husband of eighteen years, and their five children.
