What will it be?

Okay, so I've been thinking about what my blog will be like and what I will do with it. I'm sure it will change as I continue to use it and as the teeming hoards flock to the wellspring of my verbosity. But I want it to be a place where good stories are heard and discussed. I want it to be a place to image, inspire, and create. I have several ideas in my head. Some, I hope, are good enough to become a novel and I won't share too much about them (a bloke's gotta eat ya know). But others I think will only become short stories and I think this will be a good place to share them. But for now I hope to introduce some concepts and this will be a muse of sorts. One concept that I'm interested in is the use of magic in literature, particularly in regards to the ethics of using it from a Christian worldview. I'm also interested in the ethics of lying. One of the stories that intrigues me the most is when Rahab the harlot lied to save Caleb and Joshua. My current interests may be influenced by the fact that I am taking an ethics class. So feel free to critique anything you like, even grammar, because I'm always looking for ways to sharpen my pen. My hope is that everything I do, including the stories I tell, will bring honor and glory to God.

You can't sharpen your pen! Did you write this right after ethics class?

Diana, you are correct, and I have fixed teeming, and thus my pen becomes a little more finely honed. "Sharpen my pen" though is a mixed metaphore that I used on purpose. I guess to be more acurate it should be sharpen my keyboard but then there wouldn't be the allusion to "the pen is mightier than the sword." I don't think I wrote it after ethics class, but I'm not sure.
