I'm a grad student and an SFF reader who tinkers now and then with writing. I wound up here after someone pointed me to one of your essays on genre, and I stuck around partly for the crunchy discussion of writing and books and partly because you were saying sensible and encouraging things about dissertations. I hope you post more about baking bread, because anyone who can get sourdough to rise must have mutant superpowers.
I'm prone to overenthusing about things I like. This afternoon, I bought the single girliest piece of clothing I am ever likely to own. I've just discovered how good webcomics are for avoiding doing work. Late at night, I like to go to the park and play on the swings. I look forward to the day I can have cats. I am newly fascinated by Japanese prints.
And, because the curiosity consumes me: was Malkar named after the ASCSA library? Given what you've said about your stay there, it seems somehow appropriate.
