About

This is Presswave, a blog I started in July 2022 to explore writing. Every month or sometimes more frequently, I write something on this blog, always about something different. I love to mess with the structure of my writing, and a lot of my articles are more experiment than, well, article. There are also Feats, which usually add on to the monthly article as a not-usually-proofread, rough draft that couldn’t be a full article. In addition, I post yearly photos, usually exhibiting architecture or nature.
