There was a spike in my blog visitor stats on June 9th. I think everyone wanted to see if I was still alive or not… So HELLO, people!!! Despite popular assumption, I am not dead! If you didn't read my last post and have no idea why I'm suddenly treating death as a narrowly circumvented [...]

Book poetry, made from a damaged copy of the Magician’s Nephew.
By some miracle, our lovely editor didn’t make me take out the part where I refer to Tolkien’s literary masterpieces as “nifty stuff,” and I’m both astonished and grateful for this burst of generosity. Behold, link in bio.

I had a cool librarian moment a few weeks ago.

When asked why I write, I'm never quite sure how to answer. I have a lot of reasons. For instance, when I was eight, I beat my older siblings in a spelling bee, and the desire to continue flaunting my vocabular superiority over them became an ingrained personality trait.
