september 2020 | in review

I first saw the idea of " months in review " on another blog, amid these embers (which you should definitely check out), and I really liked the concept of summarizing my month, so I decided I'd give it a try. I've created my own template inspired by the original one but with a few differences, because I wanted it be unique and not an identical copy, which would be wrong. I'm saying this so you won't give me credit for the original idea. It is not mine and I believe I should respect that. So why am I writing this post? I really, really love remembering things. I'm very nostalgic and while I have a very good memory for some things, the passage of time is not one of them. So the principal reason for doing this to record the notable things that happen in a way that lets me see more of a big-picture idea of what a certain month was like when I look back. This is my first time writing something like this, so bear with me. I tried my best to make it interesting,...

notes worth noting (or, the wordplay of "much ado about nothing.")

unloading a spice ship on a summer day // a fantasy poem

Another assignment originally written for literature class. The prompt was to find words with distinctive sounds as well as a few words of my own invention, and use them to create a scene.  note: this is partially inspired by the setting of "Aladdin."
