Writing in the mountains of Swellendam, South Africa

My editor hard at “work”

More of me in my element…

My beloved vintage typewriter I used in high-school

“Language is human beings' element just as water is the element of fish."

- Maurice Merleau-Ponty

I am in my element when writing. When storytelling. When being creative. So, naturally, I’ve devoted my life to it.

Other times I am in my element include: playing with my two adopted tuxedo kittens, baking, walking in the fall weather, reading, collecting miniature things, writing my Substack newsletter “Important Nothings”, playing cozy video games, and watching reality TV.
