The Bored Gnat

I am easily bored, meaning I am a jack of all trades, master of none. A blog about my altac life, knitting, and adventures. I earned a doctorate in literature and with a failed attempt at the academic job market under my belt, I decided to follow my dream and earned an MFA in creative writing. Online. From my former employer. This blog will often zig when you expect it to zag - back in the saddle after a long hiatus!
