Welcome to my Blog!
Thank you for reading my blog! My content tends to feature think pieces on rhetoric and popular culture, with a particular focus on the narratives we find in everyday media and experiences. All of my blogs are contained below in order of publication, starting with the most recent. I am presently striving to publish my blog on a weekly basis, but I do work a full-time job so I may stray from time to time. Enjoy!

“‘Writing isn’t playdough’: The Case for the Self-Indulgent Writer“

“When reviewing becomes faceless and devoid of human connection, writing can then be treated as playdough to mold to the touch of every reader rather than a piece a writer is trying to mold for themselves.”
