WRITER · ANDOVER ’28
Hi, I’m Konnor.
To put it simply, I like writing about economics, law, books, and stories.
I’m a student at Phillips Academy Andover. I’m trying to figure out what I’m interested and how I get to do more of that. This website is more for myself, to put my work into a concrete form. I love writing and I hope you can check out some of the stuff I’ve written.

Day 13
I have to stop writing these spiels so late. I'm genuinely starting at 12:24 AM, which is already 24 minutes after the deadline. To be fair, I was grinding on writing an economics piece, so I guess it's okay, but I feel I should still be able to make the deadlines I set for myself. Tomorrow, I am going to try writing the spiel throughout the day, rather than all at the end (if I remember). I'm waking up rather early tomorrow to help my grandmother go to the doctor's office, so I bet I will have an extensive log if I do this properly.
Interestingly, this is the first day of Summer break (excluding my time in California) that I have not played video games (very sad, I know). I genuinely spent 2 hours working on my economics essay, making sure all the data was accurate and all the calculations were sound. Tomorrow comes a round of editing. I love to edit writing, except my own; when it's the writing of others, I enter a flow state of suggestions. However, when staring at my own writing, my mind goes blank. I'm hoping for better luck as I read what I wrote today, as this essay is very important to me.
