I am N.A. Ferrell, Administrator and Editor of a long-form writing site, The New Leaf Journal and a short-form companion site, The Emu Café Social. I post regularly on those. I have had a couple of Bearblogs but none of them stuck. This time I will try something a little bit different to distinguish this from my main projects. I keep ideas for future posts in a couple of markdown files and in my Zotero database. I will use this blog as a scratchpad of sorts to note some ideas that I may develop into full-fledged posts, along with relevant links to the inspirations and, when applicable, to my own work. I may also syndicate some shorter posts from my sites that are relevant to this project.
