Emily

Hallo there. I'm Emily: writer, literary scholar, and lover of beautiful things. I drink strong black tea, play excessive amounts of piano, and I will always use the Oxford comma religiously. I'm a grad school student heartily engrossed in literature, writing, and all things devoted to the art of story. I'm quite the philosopher—always asking odd questions. Those questions become stories, stories tell us who we are, and I don't think I'll ever stop writing them. 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. Enjoy.
