Writing

I've been doing a terrible job of keeping this selected lists of published writings up-to-date when either essays get published in books, or I contribute to books in some other way, or even when I'm writing for online publications or blogs. I do my best to make updates in blog posts, but I'm also using a new portfolio tool on Contently to try to track more recently published writings that I might forget to write about on the blog.
