| Introduction | My name is Keen Hahn, and I'm a recovering Master's student. Basically, that means that I have recently entered the misty limbo that inhabits the space between the well-defined points of "student" and "professional." This blog is my attempt at navigation. There are many things to which I aspire, such as becoming a successful member of the publishing industry and managing to author that next world-changing science fiction novel (all while living a happy, balanced life, of course). If my words here inspire, challenge, or interest you in any way, please feel free to post your thoughts. After all, I'm not looking for authoritative meaning here but resonance, and what good would resonating be if it produced no echoes? |

Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?
If it has the misfortune of being put in close proximity to Bear Grylls.
