Footnotes to a Former Life.

Welcome to my blog: Between Drafts Journal

This space is my attempt at starting over — gently.

For a long time, my life followed syllabi, deadlines, and very clear next steps. Now, I’m in a season of asking different questions. What do I enjoy when no one is grading me? What am I good at outside of school? What happens if I try something completely new?

So this blog will be my experiment.

Each month (or whenever inspiration strikes), I’ll try a new hobby — baking something I’ve never made, learning a craft, training for a run, attempting to write a book, or even exploring a different career path. Some things might stick. Some won’t. That’s part of it.

To keep myself grounded (and honest), I’m organizing this space into a few categories:

• Daily Journal – reflections, thoughts, the messy middle.
• Timeline – tracking what I’ve tried and how it’s going.
• What’s Next – ideas, goals, and the next experiment.
• Field notes – updates on each new hobby, plus any recipes, patterns, or resources I use along the way.

Maybe this won’t give me answers. Maybe it will just give me direction — and right now, that feels like enough.
