Other
than believing in Jesus and loving her family and friends, writing
is the only thing she has done consistently most
of her life. Her writing is deeply influenced by looking at the world from
a Christian perspective, even when the "topics" may not always be of a
"Christian" or "religious" nature.
She began writing poems and short stories as a young child (see some of her early work coming soon to "Words"), and realized writing was a life's call at some point in high school. Charity attended Taylor University, majoring in Mass Communications, and she initially pursued a career in journalism, spending just over a year as a reporter for her hometown newspaper, the Banner-Graphic.
Since that stint, Charity's primary outlet for writing has been freelance and volunteer projects, including several articles published in Discipleship Journal magazine (see "Words" for links). She recently finished her first book -- a collection of essays for Advent -- and is currently shopping it around for publication (see excerpt at "Words").
In the meantime, Charity lives in Indianapolis, worships and fellowships at College Park Church, frequents Lulu's Electric Cafe, dabbles in watercolor painting, and works at a medical billing company as a reports specialist/super user (I'm still waiting for my cape).
