Well, as I was reading through some of my old stuff, I realized how awful it was... ah, to be young and foolish. I'll keep that old stuff up for posterity, but have posted several new pieces to be perused as well.

A little about me:

I'm a junior Writing major at Mount Union. In a couple years, I hope to go to grad school in Chicago. I'm in a band called Far From Nothing, and I am also on the senior editorial board for Calliope, Mount Union's literary journal (we put out two publications a year, the Calliope and the Agora). If you read any of my old stuff, know that I was an angsty teenager. If you read my newer stuff, then you're better off since it's quite a bit more... informed.
