we're all mad here
I already had this post scheduled for the first week of March, but wow, how little faith I had in myself.

Happy New Year! 2017 was a wild year, full of a lot of unexpected things. It was a hugely emotional year, and though I’m happy to leave it behind, I’m also happy to have experienced all of it. I hope that 2018 brings just as much balance as the year before did, or more. In…

It’s been nearly a week since I finished editing the Pen boys, and since then, I’ve had a very relaxing handful of days. I finished editing on Friday, and I spent most of the weekend with my parents. I usually spend Saturdays with them, and this weekend was no exception, though my day was a…
