 Once I got my PhD, I was a little bit burned out with the mathematics. So when I got my first job as a professor, I turned to writing as a way to kind of do something different aside from the mathematics. And I really found that I enjoyed it. I don't believe in coincidences, but I do believe in synchronicity. Am I going down the right path here? Well, synchronicity means a lot of things to different people. And I looked into it.
