Welcome to my brand new blog, right here on joshAllan.com! The blog might actually be my favorite part of the website, because it’s the place where I get to have conversations with you! Like it says over there on the right, I really believe that words are simply scribbles until they find a reader; so stop on by the blog and contribute your insight to the cause!

I am a freelance writer for a magazine called Relevant. Here are the articles and reviews that have been published so far:
“words are
just scribbles without
YOU,
without
a
reader.”
scribble:writing
flicker
Language is a gateway to the soul.
After I've been reading for awhile, my thoughts seem to write themselves in my head in a more advisable and congruent fashion, which I very much like. It's almost as if my inner monologue has just aced some vocabulary test or something, and in response the rest of my intellect is gladly operating on all cylinders just to keep up with my new profound clarity.
 
But words are also thoroughly blurry, contextual, nuanced; sometimes all we can see is a flicker of where the flame is burning. It’s hard to get a clear picture, but for better or worse, language is often a gateway to our souls.
