About Wittywanderings

Welcome to Wittywanderings—a space where curiosity and creativity meet. Founded by Jacalyn Godkin and inspired by the essays of G.K. Chesterton, this blog is dedicated to making essay writing accessible, enjoyable, and a little bit playful. Here, you’ll find easy-reading essays sparked by the daily wanderings of an inquisitive mind.

Wittywanderings began as a personal journey. After years of feeling intimidated by formal writing, I discovered the joy of letting my thoughts wander and embracing the playful side of essays. Inspired by Chesterton’s wit and wisdom, I wanted to create a space where anyone—regardless of experience—could find their voice and enjoy the process of writing.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, we invite you to join us: participate in upcoming contests, contribute to discussions (coming soon), or submit your own essay. Let your ideas wander with us and become part of our growing community.

WHO IS JACALYN GODKIN?

Hi, I’m Jacalyn! I’m not a famous writer, nor have I won any awards—I just love sharing stories that entertain and amuse. If you happen to learn something along the way, that’s wonderful; if not, I hope you simply enjoy the read. There’s nothing for sale here, just a collection of essays offered for your enjoyment.
