2018: A Year of Change (and only a few posts… sorry)
Hi! It's been a while, I know. I'm sorry. Finishing up this last bit of grad school has been... a struggle to say the least. 2018 in general has been a struggle.

However, the possible removal of an emphasis on handwriting seems ridiculous. I doubt I'm… Continue reading A Case for Writing by Hand
Processing, Recollection, and Inspiration: On Keeping a Journal
"Perhaps it is difficult to see the value in having one's self back in that kind of mood, but I do see it; I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and… Continue reading Processing, Recollection, and Inspiration: On Keeping a Journal
