Meet the Blogger

My name is Makai Self, and I’m glad you’re here.

Here, you’ll find creative writing, freewrites, personal reflections, and pieces of fiction. Some of what I write may be carefully thought out and polished, while other pieces may simply be thoughts that need somewhere to exist.

My journey with writing began during the COVID-19 pandemic. What initially felt like an interruption to everyday life became an unexpected opportunity. I began writing, and discovered how much I enjoyed putting my thoughts and imagination on paper.

Outside of writing, much of my life has been shaped by athletics and education. I played two years of college football at Penn State before continuing my collegiate career at Towson University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English. I later earned my Master’s degree in Sport Management from Millersville University of Pennsylvania.

My experiences as a student athlete and writer have shaped the way I see the world, and in many ways, they have shaped the way I write.

So, if you’re reading this, thank you for being here.

Whether you’ve followed my writing before or you’ve simply stumbled across this page, I hope you find something here that makes you think, feel, question, remember, or simply pause for a moment.

Welcome back.
