This is a short roundup of what I wrote over the past week. Some of it was language work, some of it genealogy, some of it thinking out loud. Rather than let posts disappear quietly into their respective corners, this is me pulling them into one place and adding a bit of context.

Sketchbook pages and book illustrations from earlier seasons of my life—a small gallery of old drawings.
