Numerous Narratives 🍁

You've discovered the emergency exit into the curious, a little chaotic, and sometimes interesting inner workings of my brain, you haven't just stumbled upon a blog! Think of this space as a garden, except instead of sensible plants like tomatoes and arugula, I'm growing a bumper crop of atomic essays, mini-essays, and a disorganized collection of varied ideas where, after a long night of marking papers and late-night writing, the distinction between reality and fiction is as blurry as my morning coffee or green tea with ginseng. It may sound strange, but I have a genuinely unhealthy obsession with reading and writing essays, the glorious, structured, idea-packed things! So wash your feet, get a piece of cake, and let's use a stick to poke some ideas! What's Inside This Mental Breakdown of Writing? Here, you'll find my wandering thoughts on economics and politics, and to the stuff that makes the world move, like culture and technology. Plus, I'll be dropping little peeks behind the curtain on my novel and nonfiction projects. My Secret (Open-Source) Writing Arsenal For the tech-curious among you, I confess my love for the open-source life! My words are forged with MX Linux, nestled in a cozy user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing UI of the KDE Plasma desktop, surprisingly, more pleasing then the Mac OS or MS Windows. My sidekicks include Standard Notes, the ever-secure Signal for chats, the wonderful free author's Reedsy Studio to plan, write, edit, and professionally format books. Yes, I'm a bit of a digital hippie. Disclaimer – All content on this site represents my personal views only.
