Hi, everyone, again. :) It's been awhile since I've been on here, and sadly, it's been awhile since I've opened a Word document or picked up a pen and paper to write. I am looking to change that.
I recently drove across country to relocate from Florida to Washington. It was an amazing adventure and the best decision I've made so far in my life. I graduated with an English degree and a psychology degree. I'm not sure what I want to do with my life - too many options! - but something big will happen.
I help run a recovery blog - http://100reasonstorecover. Each week, I write a post about a reason to recover and how it has helped me, while offering words of wisdom, as much as I can give. I also run a personal recovery blog. It's my life as I navigate through the world of 12 steps, sponsorship, and sobriety. (The link is the promoted one.)
I have a vague idea of what my next work will be, but I'm still in the planning phases. I woke up today feeling the urge to write, so here I am.
A little bit about me:
- I sell books and NOOKs for a living, but I strongly prefer the books. Nothing is better than curling up with a book in bed, smelling the pages, hearing the pages turn.
- I am participating in NaNoWriMo this year -- username is anonymouskitten, but I think that was too predictable.
- I am one of those rare people who actually likes grammar.
- I play the piano and violin.
- I love nature, and my family consists of plants I've named. Hiking and kayaking are also fun.
- I'm a bit messed up, but I like to just say "quirky" - it's nicer.
- I write short stories and novels. Poetry-writing is saved for special occasions.
- I am a voracious reader. I'll pick up nearly anything.
- I am recently single. I will be writing a lot since that is my most readily accessible coping mechanism.
- After many years of posting the Kris Saknussem quote, it means something completely different than it did before. I guess that's what life experience does to perception.
- And the most important thing: I am sober today.
I love words. When I was younger, I read the dictionary. Here are just a few of my favorite words.
- Feuillemort.
- Yawp.
- Hobbledehoy.
- Sankofa.
- Caim.
- Incalescent.
- Nubivagant.
- Solivagant.
- Waldiensamkeit.
- Skinship.
- Commuovere.
- Oriflamme.
- Atermoiements.
- Dustsceawung.
- Aeipathy.
