Work in Progress

Right now this page is serving as a more public repository for my writing than the Facebook Notes posts I’ve been doing up to this point.

I’m still getting the hang of this, so please forgive the rough appearance. My primary focus is getting the information out, and I’ll be cleaning up the aesthetics as things progress.
