About
Hi, I’m Alex.
I’m a writer and lifelong notebook-keeper. By day I work on words for other people; in the early mornings and long evenings, I write for myself.
Margins is where those notes end up — a slow, unhurried journal about paying attention. There’s no schedule, no algorithm, and no newsletter pop-up. I post when something is ready.
What I write about
01
Writing
Essays about attention, habit, and the small rituals that give a day its shape.
02
Walking
Long coastal paths, muddy hills, and the field notes I scribble along the way.
03
Baking
A weekly sourdough habit, plus whatever the season puts on the kitchen table.
04
Reading
Nature writing, quiet novels, and the pencilled margins I leave behind.
