I Shall Not Want

About

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!
