Introducing Lines in the Fog

Hi, I'm Jules, and Lines in the Fog is where I gather my thoughts and feelings about how media has shaped me, and continues to shape me, as I enter my fifth decade.

This space is a reason to write, but also a reason to revisit the stories that have stayed with me, and discover new ones. It's about returning to the old, exploring the new, and tracing how both connect to who I am now, and who I'm still becoming.

Over time, I hope this will be home to a mix of simple reflections, longer reviews, and the occasional deeper dive - when the fog clears enough to make sense of what I'm seeing.

Current plans

Revisits, Rewrites and Reflections

My plans for Lines in the Fog - a blog about how I want to engage with media, and the first arc of revisiting the Final Fantasy series.
