about



Shelby. 22. English grad. I read lots of books and watch too much TV and find myself compromised by fictional characters. Favorite authors include Annie Dillard, Lucille Clifton, and Madeleine L'Engle. Also Chaim Potok and Tolstoy.

An on-a-whim poet, my first love is creative nonfiction, though I've dabbled in fiction and poetry. I never write like I should, so this blog is an attempt to get myself out of the rut of Tumblr and too-much Netflix and back onto the page. It's a quest to take my love of books and turn it into something productive, a way for me to put my words out there without making the "good stuff" unpublishable. In short, it's practice.

Because hey, I plan on winning the Pulitzer.
