I think the most successful creative endeavors are ones where you put in effort, but aren’t trying to take yourself too seriously. I think you gotta have fun with it. But you also gotta keep practicing. So this is me just practicing writing… but doing it publicly because I wanna work on being less self conscious.

I write a lot of just random stuff because I’m still trying to find my niche, but you can expect op-ed ish pieces, creative nonfiction, and some experimental stuff that I’ll find cringey in a few months. The only coherent connection across pieces is… me.

My goal with this blog is to write enough that I can identify the themes, styles, and voices I execute most successfully—and then eventually start a new blog that’s more targeted and professional.

So I don’t really know what’s happening here either! But subscribe if you wanna help me find out!
