Colophon

This site is built on Micro.blog, a lightweight, privacy-friendly platform powered by Hugo, a static site generator. Hosting and domain services are managed through Micro.blog.

The design uses the Marfa theme for its clean typography and emphasis on readability. Fonts, spacing, and overall layout are handled by the theme with only minimal adjustments.

Most of the fiction published here begins in Ulysses with final revisions made in a traditional text editor. Blog posts and updates are published through MarsEdit. Newsletters and early-access fiction are available on Substack at writtenward.com.

This site avoids tracking scripts, external analytics, and unnecessary cookies. The goal is simplicity: fast-loading pages, minimal distraction, and an experience that centers the writing.

Thanks for reading.
