hello!
my name is Grace Batronis and I’m a 20-something writer based in Indy. I went to school for English literature and fine arts, and came out on the other side working on exhibits in a museum with part-time hustles at a chocolate shop and candle shop.
I started this blog back in 2017 as a junior in high school as a way to write about stories and keep myself occupied while being homeschooled in the covered bridge capital of the world. uh yeah. exactly. however, unenthused at the idea of immediately jumping into a master’s program after graduation, I accidentally achieved the creative equivalent of letting ramen broth sit too long in a Target bowl. (or maybe a better way to put it is I hit a mad dry spell).
after a very long hiatus, I want to use this space more experimentally than I did in the past, posting a mixture of writing, art, videos, and thoughts–like a live-feed of my mind, but filtered and aesthetically-pleasing.
outside of working hours (and sometimes in them), I spend my free time researching obscure historical figures, thrifting cocktail dresses, making Spotify playlists that rely heavily on crossfades, and reading JSTOR articles.
