I’m a librarian and writer, part-time singer and songwriter, and I spent many years as a campus radio volunteer. I care a lot about education, reading, stories, creativity, music, and truth. This blog is a place to write about at least some of these things.
Why the messy desk as a theme? Because creativity is messy. Ideas are messy. Trying stuff is messy. Doing more than one thing at once is really messy.
Want to get in touch? Leave a comment, or come say hi on Bluesky. (I’m updating this in April 2024 to say I’m not really on X/ Twitter or Tumblr anymore.)
You can also hear some of my music here, and see a video of my songwriting partner and me playing a classic REM cover here.
And I suppose these photos are also a defence of my own messy desk. (Photo source: http://officesnapshots.com/2012/02/06/inspiration-the-messy-desks-of-einstein-jobs-and-twain/)
I was at Elspeth Robinson’s funeral today. Look around for you. Were you there?
I was there, Michael! I’m so sorry I missed you. I’ll send you an email.
