you can probably figure out a lot about me just by perusing this site, however, i’ll go through the formalities of giving you this brief introduction:

hi, i’m mark d. eaton

i am a writer, filmmaker, artist, and poet with a love for all creative ventures. i can often be found wandering in the mountains without aim, whenever i'm not writing, that is. And I Heard the Mourner Say is my debut novel featuring several of my hand-carved block print illustrations.

the good endeavor is my blog where every now and then i’ll share some of my current musings. the purpose of the blog is to encourage christian creatives, sharing tips, resources, or even just thoughts regarding creation in a fallen world. more often than not, though, it will also be an outlet for me to share my own creative endeavors, i.e., poetry, short stories, or even something new i decided to try.
