Essays
I’ve only had one essay published so far, a piece originally written for my Intro to Writing Creative Non-Fiction class and polished for submission to Touchstone, Kansas State University’s literary journal.
Columns
During the Spring Semester of 2007, I wrote a weekly column for the campus newspaper, the Kansas State Collegian. The title for each column links to my local archive, while the date links to the newspaper’s online copy. Entries are as printed by the newspaper, because correcting the occasional minor error would quickly slip into full-fledged rewrites.
