website
This website is a static HTML, CSS, and JS website built with Eleventy (11ty). I programmed, wrote, and deployed it myself. I think programming is a fun skill that anyone can learn. It has never been easier to build an 'old school' style website.
The font is JetBrains Mono. It's a font I love because it's used in IntelliJ, the Java IDE, and also because its free and open source.
The contact form is a free form built with staticforms.xyz. My domain is registered via NameCheap and hosted on Cloudflare as a free static website.
writing
My high school English teacher, Ms. Hocking, edited PDAATGOTR. She also edited the book that I finished with her when I was 18, and is one of few people to read it all the way through, which I'm surprised anyone would!
marketing
I had a lot of support from my marketing group chat, including my friends Sara Holm, Amelia Sundman, and Madelyn Margaret Battcock-Emerson.
life
For writing, the most formative experience in my life was what I experienced in high school. I was fortunate enough to take a self-directed creative writing course in high school, and it gave me the confidence and tools to pursue this at a deeper level. There were a lot of other teachers at all levels of education that I also owe a debt to, mostly for their kindness and generosity with their time as I grew up.
I owe a debt of gratitude to my family and my friends. I hope that they all know how much they mean to me.
