Bio
I love to write. I have a deep love for words and language; a budding philologist (a late bloomer according to my father). I have been fascinated with the construction of sentences and how meaning is derived from the order of words.

Not unusually so–there were still birthdays marked, a work deadline, a reminder to renew the car registration–but the block that usually took up a week near the end of the month wasn’t there.

The room, the air, you. I have learned not to wait.
