As of today, I’ve been blogging (here and at my previous spot, Sequitur) for four years.

Because I started the summer before my writing graduate program, this blog is probably the best reflection I have of my location (from Baltimore to St. Louis to MI to San Diego to Brooklyn), career trajectory (from student to intern to weekend Chinatown tutor to cat-herder to freelance reporter to freelance editor) and the progress of my writing skills (from rambling to slightly less so). Still haven’t kicked the habit, apparently, of over-using parentheses.

Hooray!
