Hello, my name is JK Stenger

And I’m a writer.
I write books, stories, blog articles, texts, anything, really…

Anything? Well, almost anything…

Someone once said, “The world knows enough hell; let’s show her a little more heaven.” To me, that’s the standard. As long as it is true, lovely, clean, happy and encouraging, I will write it. My hope is that the words flowing from my hand will inspire and enlighten, rather than confuse or discourage.

Writing is …

Writing is supposed to be an expression of beauty and should leave you, the reader, inspired. Every word and every sentence should be a celebration of true creativity, and needs to be delivered with care. That’s what writing is to me.

The American novelist John Gardner put it like this:
“To write with taste, in the highest sense, is to write so that people understand, sympathize, see the universality of pain and feel strengthened, if not directly encouraged, to live on. If there is good to be said, the writer should say it. If there is bad to be said, he should say it in a way that reflects the truth so that, although we see the evil, we choose to continue to live among the living.”

“Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.”

- Stephen King
