My name’s Angela Brett. I am a mathematician by training, programmer by trade, physicist by association, writer by some people’s standards, and human, by Jove.
Creative Output is where I post various creative things I’ve done, whether it’s poetry, prose, videos, software, songs sung by my computer, comics, drawings, or just photos of things I’ve made. I generally don’t blog about what I’ve had for lunch today, or how cute my cat Mittens is, although I might mention it if I ever design some tedious internet protocol. I don’t even have a cat named Mittens, although I used to; I’m just quoting from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to Blogging.
I started this blog in 2008 for my Writing Cards and Letters project, in which I wrote something every week for a year inspired by playing cards and letters of the alphabet. I have many out-of-date websites which I coded myself, and put on my own domain names, on my sister’s web server, but for this project I wanted to focus on writing rather than technical issues, so I started a blog just like anyone’s grandma might do.
A while after that finished, I tried to do a similar thing with more relaxed rules, The Last Six Months, but it turns out that while relaxed rules and me get along like a house on fire, we don’t tend to produce much output.
Since that finished, I’ve just been posting whenever I happen to make something that seems to be worth posting. I hope I’m correct in judging what’s worth posting.
