A Couple Announcements and My Trip to California

Posted on February 29, 2016March 25, 2017 by Miss Holmes of Gondor

Hello friends! So, I'm sure you've noticed the change I've made to my blog. I turned 14, you know, and I felt my blog needed to grow up a bit too.

Control: It’s a Girl Thing

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Miss Holmes of Gondor

Miss Holmes of Gondor

Miss Holmes of Gondor

Hallo there. I'm Emily: aspiring theologian, medievalist, and author. I drink far too much tea, play excessive amounts of chess, and I will always use the Oxford comma religiously. I am a university student heartily engrossed in English literature, writing, and all things devoted to the art of story. Accordingly, I have an immense adoration for literature, medieval theology, and art. I am always asking odd questions, and I don't think I shall ever stop. Those questions become stories, stories tell us who we are, and I don't think I shall ever stop writing them either. By God's grace, I will lend my voice to those millennia-old academic discussions and unveil truth, beauty, and love for all the world to observe. I am delighted that you're here to listen to my musings!
