You have arrived.

This is my public literary blog. Here I’ll be talking about culture, philosophy, and authors whose fiction has inspired me. Hopefully, I can inspire you along the way.

You can expect posts about literary theory, philosophy, worldbuilding, or writing advice on Saturday. At the end of each month, I’ll have a review of that month, where I talk about the books I’ve been reading, update you on my writing progress, and more.

In the article above, I talk about the various other features and displays present on the site, with an intention of eliminating any possible confusion.

About Me

You might know me as J. Dan Goodberry, Miscellaneous Goblin, or a different name if you know me personally.

I started this blog because I had a lot of thoughts in my head (mostly about literature) that I felt I wanted to get out onto the page. As I continue to read, I hope to come here to log and summarize the books I’ve enjoyed. Hopefully, you will find this useful. I usually stick to the genres of fantasy, historical fiction, and nonfiction, with notable exceptions.

Living in the United States, I’m working on a range of writing projects, several of which you can find sampled here. I also happen to have a cartography side-hobby, about which you can find out more on my ArtStation account.
