Following String follows my endless pursuit to unravel stories. That is, my experiences in writing and how they relate to my philosophy on teaching English.
The Wild Norry functions as a somewhat personal blog in which I discuss my life experiences and how they inform my teaching philosophy.
As I finish up my thesis work I am currently continuing a project that I have self-titled Fives which chronicles the ups and downs of a relationship and examines the nature of family ties, mental illness, and heartbreak.
For my honors program, I developed a thesis which investigates the effects of being a writer on teaching writing with specific attention to the relationship between writing and emotional distress.

Here are three of my current projects:
I am currently making my way through the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab.
My current book recommendations are Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me (non-fiction) and Melina Marchetta's On the Jellicoe Road (fiction).

I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul,
The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me,
The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into a new tongue.
