First post

I've felt dissatisfaction with my digital interactions over the past year or so. As a result, I retreated inward, finding comfort in limited exposure. My friend Alex encouraged me to inch back into the computerized spotlight, to expand out of candlelit isolation. So here I am. 

In college I wrote opinion pieces for the school newspaper and a lot of essays for coursework. Most of my writing ended up semi-repetitive in structure and syntax. One year ago I began writing short fiction and other creative writing, inspired by what I enjoy reading. I anticipate putting some of that work on this blog, as well as my thoughts on the books I read. 

I try to write daily. My journals comprise of thoughts, notes, travel details, quotations, vignettes, and questions. Some of the content here will stem from material I wrote by hand. Formalizing this writing, making it more developed and presentable and pointed, will be a helpful mental exercise, I hope. 

Writing, for me, is an engaging 'mindfulness' activity. I await further exploration.
