By the time I was in my early 20s, I’d become used to people asking me if I’d broken it. “Nope. It’s just gnarled like that.” Then it grew some little cyst on the side that made me want to take a knife to it myself. The tip manages to be both bulbous and angular and I have nostrils that won’t quit and flare involuntarily. I’ve had body issues since I was 8 when my mom first put me on a medically supervised diet, but my nose has been a tough thing to escape as an adult. You can’t diet your way out of your schonoz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/f2fa40a7-52c3-4edc-ba25-ba5a15e28a1d/PXL_20260407_211323722.jpg Inquisitive Ink - Piercing my witch’s nose So, I made an appointment for the following week. Let me tell you, it was one of the happiest, most fulfilling days of my life, getting my nose pierced. I’ve loved getting tattooed—and I have a considerable amount of ink. But I’ve never felt and looked more like myself than I have since getting this tiny little stud. It’s just me saying to myself, “Yeah. I own this nose the way it is.” And every time I look in the mirror it also reminds me that I, Me, No. One. Else. owns any part of this body. Not now, or ever. It has always been 100% mine. And it WILL always be 100% mine. And so has yours. ‍Screw purity rings. I'll take one of Eliezar’s rings every time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/7d0263fa-c22b-4281-b338-973cb9a87a0a/pure-9781501124822_lg.jpg Inquisitive Ink - Piercing my witch’s nose - Pure: Iside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free by Linda Kay Klein I knew what I’d gone through, but hearing the experiences of so many others was heartbreakingly validating for me. I cried through about 80% of this book and had to take a number of breaks. But it was tremendously healing in helping me believe I wasn’t crazy. I wasn’t alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/1f7a50ab-e5bf-429b-b877-3e9d79dfa2db/9781601427595.jpg Inquisitive Ink - Piercing my witch’s nose - Shameless: A Case for Not Feeling Bad About Feeling Good by Nadia Bolz-Weber This book challenges some of the negative ideas around sex that purity culture naturally lend itself towards. Nadia Bolz-Weber is a pastor and theologian and celebrates consensual sex, in its varied forms, as a gift from God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/5d8a6790-141c-43e7-a5c9-41152aa106a3/9781523090990.jpg Inquisitive Ink - Piercing my witch’s nose - The Body is Not an Apology, Second Edition: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor I’ve read this book twice. The first time I wasn’t quite ready and thought it was a little too radical. But the second time, it was what really helped me break free from the chains holding me to past expectations. I imagine it’s a book I’ll return to again and again. If for no other reason than Ms. Taylor reminds you that radical self-love for your body means growing in empathy and radical love for other bodies—bodies different from your own. For how can you fully love someone who looks different than you when you cannot love yourself? It’s a sobering thought and an excellent read. https://www.writerjennifermckenna.com/inquisitiveink/thefarmersmarketthatneverhappened monthly 0.5 2026-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/41e035d2-e279-4b82-9709-9b9396dfb6ce/download+%2811%29.jpg Inquisitive Ink - The Farmers’ Market that never Happened (But is the Reason You’re Reading This Right Now) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/138cc506-1a62-48c3-b4df-9f70f9fded3b/PXL_20260603_144233594.jpg Inquisitive Ink - The Farmers’ Market that never Happened (But is the Reason You’re Reading This Right Now) Anyhow, I got to thinking that I could combine my author presence with my passably decent handmade merch with weekly literary talking points—which could be anything: Genres, banned books, library book sales, book clubs, why supporting indie bookstores over big box and amazon is so important, etc. Of course, I have plenty of giveaways like handmade bookmarks for big people, and book-themed coloring pages for the little people. It’s Pride Month, so also made Pride buttons to pass out to my LBGTQIA+ friends and allies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/0bdf5edd-5709-4872-9dfe-2ebed6131647/PXL_20260606_150433962.jpg Inquisitive Ink - The Farmers’ Market that never Happened (But is the Reason You’re Reading This Right Now) - My consolation treats Before I left, I walked around and talked to some of the others, buying myself some consolation treats: fresh Amish flowers, a giant lemon blueberry cookie, and a pen.

She’s formerly been on faculty with Women Writing for (a) Change, and has years of teaching and editorial experience to her credit, although now she considers herself more of a “manuscript therapist” than editor. She’s agreed to chat with me today about the intersection of mental illness and the writer’s life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/6728b8c0-39ca-4fd0-8c98-5c43ebda380c/71A1d3oy40L.jpg_BO30%2C255%2C255%2C255_UF750%2C750_SR1910%2C1000%2C0%2CC_QL100_.jpg Inquisitive Ink -

Counting, a poem - YOUR TURN! Are you a writer, of any experience level, who struggles to maintain a healthy perspective of the creative process? Poetry isn’t my wheelhouse, but if it’s yours, I’d love to hear your thoughts of Counting. Are you a reader, who previously thought that writing was an easy gig? (Rarely, but there are a few exceptions. Mostly, it makes us scream.) Would you be interested in reading more about my writing process in future blogs? Questions? Comments? Have something else entirely you’d like to share? I love hearing from readers. https://www.writerjennifermckenna.com/inquisitiveink/the-menu-a-culinary-inspired-altuntive-to-a-5-star-book-rating-system monthly 0.5 2026-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/b951f4be-9a2a-4fef-a031-7473e64d752d/stocksnap-hand-2602863_1920.jpg Inquisitive Ink - The Menu: A Culinary-inspired alternative to the 5-star book rating system - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/3aae1006-95ac-4919-a738-a313472c340a/flutie8211-chalkboard-6782643_1920.jpg Inquisitive Ink - The Menu: A Culinary-inspired alternative to the 5-star book rating system The Menu a la Chez Metcalf https://www.writerjennifermckenna.com/inquisitiveink/weywardbookreview monthly 0.5 2026-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a9dc7fc3bf2c43225c20d2/75e0170e-0ba8-4742-941a-f51961db96c4/PXL_20260329_231204803.MP%7E4+%281%29.jpg Inquisitive Ink - Book Review: Weyward, by Emilia Hart - Make it stand out A Weyward-vibes vignette.
