Welcome to OtherWords. As our articles section grew, it began to include pieces that fell outside of the realm of article or personal essay. So we've revamped the section and given it a name that better reflects the content. Submissions to OtherWords are welcome, but keep in mind that this section will not be updated on a regular schedule.
