Oberlin Blogs

Times in recent memory where my brain has screamed I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM TO GO HERE

That is to say, I'm finding that skills I've learned working on improv are helping me with my genre fiction writing.

Free New York Times, talented friends, and Oberlin's love of puzzles.

--Except, you know, without the whole lasting-twenty-years thing. And no ships or witches or gods. And an indoor swing. (The place we stayed was possibly the best part, which is not an insult to the Chicago College Improv Tournament--the place was just awesome.)
