Hey there! My name is Carter, and I’m so glad you’re here:)

The Stained Glass Journal is my digital diary: a place for poems, essays, notes, photos, and more. I hope you enjoy flipping through my journal as much as I enjoy writing in it.

I believe in the power of words. When we read the words of another with an open mind, it’s like we get to peer through a window into their head and their heart. Some of my windows will be half-open/half-shut, some will be smudgy, some will be cracked. That’s alright; I’m a developing writer. But I hope you find some stained glass in here somewhere, too.
