About

This is Presswave, a blog I began to write to starting in July 2022. Every month or potentially more frequently, I write something on this blog, always about something different. A lot of my Articles are more experiment than, well, article. Writing structure is one of my favorite concepts in writing to mess with. There are also Feats, which usually add on to the monthly Article as a rough(er) draft that couldn’t be a full article. In addition, I post occasional Photos, usually exhibiting architecture or nature.
