“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry David Thoreau

Bullet Journal – September 2020
Wow, September already! Time has been weird, to say the least, in this year, 2020. Back when I was decorating my planner in late 2019, I thought… Read more “Bullet Journal – September 2020”

About
Hello all! I’m Emily Lange, and I’m a reader, writer, and thinker. But that’s rather vague, so here are some more specifics:
I am currently attending Elon University, a liberal arts college in North Carolina. While I am majoring in English Literature and Philosophy, I have a wide range of interests including creative writing, art, history, anthropology, and linguistics.
My parents were conscripted to write down stories I had imagined before I could write for myself. Now, I enjoy both reading and writing in the fantasy and science fiction genres. This is also the site of my undergraduate thesis research on female identity and intersectionality in speculative fiction. While balancing creative and academic writing while in college hasn’t been as easy as I might have hoped after the flexibility of a homeschool education, I look forward to seeing how my multi-faceted interests continue to develop.
Alongside writing and reading of many kinds, I have a love for textile arts including quilting, knitting, embroidery, dressmaking, cosplay, and more. I hope to improve my tailoring skills over the next year as well. In 2018 I started a planner loosely related to bullet journalling. While I don’t use the official bullet journal method, I do decorate a dot-grid blank journal at the beginning of each year to use as my planner throughout the year.
What else? I appreciate words and clever puns. Board games are lovely. My video game experience is limited to various versions of Legend of Zelda and now, Jedi: Fallen Order. Star Trek: Enterprise is currently my favorite series within that particular universe. And, as always, I support the Oxford Comma.
