R. W. Blickhan

I’m a writer and programmer.

Professionally, I am a mobile engineer at Asana (see my resume). I have a bachelor’s degree in computer science & mathematics from the University of British Columbia, though generally speaking my interests lean towards the humanities (particularly literature, history, cultural anthropology, political science, and economics).

I live in San Francisco with my fiancée Sherry and our small canine companion Rooibos.

The best way to keep up with me is to punch in your email below to subscribe to rwblog, my (very) erratically released newsletter:

What I’m Working On

Dreams of an Alien God

I’m writing a horror novel about a bipolar woman exploring a haunted hotel. The 20,000 word dummy draft is done! The first full draft will follow in the first quarter of 2023.

The Witch’s Apprentice

I’m writing a feel-good about a young witch who just can’t do anything right. Think Kiki’s Delivery Service with a touch of Leonora Carrington. The dummy draft should be done in the next few weeks.

Rocky Climb Log

I’m building a SwiftUI bouldering log app called Rocky. Sign up for the TestFlight beta!

Colophon

This site is built with Astro. It uses Tailwind CSS for styling and Vollkorn as the main font. It’s served from Cloudflare Pages.

You can find out more about how I built a slightly older version of this site in this post and see the full source on Github.
