Glossary
I’m a voracious reader, a copious note-taker, and an aficionado of interesting terms. Below, I link to definitions I’ve written or gathered in my asynchronous conversations with others through their written words. The explanation of each word or concept is at a different stage of development – some are mere stubs, while others are mature. I frequently revisit and revise definitions to make them more interesting and useful. They are malleable mementos of my travels and travails. Please contact me with feedback or suggestions.
