So, not only is this the first book I’ve actually finished for pleasure in a long while (I don’t even remember what the last one was…”Return of the King,” probably), it was also very far out from my usual. As emphasized by its coincidence with Tolkien. “It’s Superman!” is what it sounds like. It’s a […]
I was really excited to write this blog entry, but then I realized this would also make a good topic for my personal statement for the FAS for which I’m applying for study abroad. So I started writing that and got distracted from this. I’M BACK NOW! Anyway, I have something specific to discuss and […]
So in the past few weeks, I’ve been redeveloping the past between Danyil and Ingrid in response to a very logical observation on behalf of an editor.

it’s been so quiet in here! i’ve been too busy working and doing school and writing papers and doing an art internship to say much in here. oh and drawing naked people. i’m taking life drawing this semester, and finding that i feel very familiar with the human figure, and so in class all these […]
I am experiencing the most intense literature-related whiplash OF MY LIFE.
