This is my first blog post! Kind of…

I originally created this website for a class I took this fall – an Honors Seminar called Reflection and Contemplation at the University of Denver. After a long period of reflection, I have decided to keep the site and use it as a personal blog. I’ve already got a fiction blog that I co-write with my good friend Alex Damle over at Great Crimes of the English Language, so I want to be a little more experimental this time.

Instead of posting short stories, which are usually too long for the cursory type of reading promoted by Internet browsing, I want to write about things I find interesting in life, in the world, and in stories – whether they be written or filmed. I plan to post two or three times a week, and may create separate pages for general posts, reviews, and political views.

Expect posts to range from whimsical updates and brief rants to well-developed topical essays. I will also link to any new short stories I’ve written or any other exciting news. If you’re into that, click the follow button on the sidebar. I’m excited to get this started. Let’s see where this takes us!
