Hey, I started a blog! It's called Area of Effect, and it's going to be a space where I can unleash silly ideas, channel my nerdiness, and warm up my dusty essayist muscles.
I've got a few blogs up now and more on the way. I'm really excited about it and hope you check it out.

There was this video essayist (I know, but she had a Point ok) that said millenials were the delusionally optimistic generation (poorly paraphrased) and I have been thinking about it since.

If I were a video essayist I would probably make a video essay about how updoots ruined the entire social landscape of the internet.

"The lyric essay asks what happens...when an essayist starts imagining things, making things up, filling in blank spaces..." (Shields, 71). This makes you question how authentic any personal narrative is, because if it falls under a specific genre, linearity requires finishing it. #realityhunger
