Hello all!
I am an avid reader and writer, though I still feel like a novice at both. I am currently majoring in Education, and I finished my Undergrad last year, in which my majors were English and Psychology. I spent a lot of my early life reading, my teenager-hood writing, then my undergrad reading... and reading... and reading. Now, feeling released from the shackles of assigned readings, I have found myself a little lost in my freedom, amongst all of my creativity! I have been working on two personal writing projects, alongside writing prose & poetry... But honestly, I feel like I still need something else to focus on, not a project, something for the sole sake of having fun.
As a kid, I spent hours online! My love of writing came from an old roleplaying forum that I used to frequent + participate in. I thought that it would be a good idea for me to seek out something similar, fifteen years later. It's weird: writing is a very solitary act, but to grow as a writer, and to write meaningful things, community is vital, like a beating heart. I don't mean to sound melodramatic, I just truly feel that way. I've written so many things that will only be seen by me, and there is not much useful input I can give myself, other than, this sucks! or, this rocks! or, this idea is good, but for some reason, my sentences don't sound natural... This is all to say that I thought finding a community, such as this one, would provide space to learn and grow, through having fun and connecting with others.
So uh, nice to meet you!
I'm currently studying to become an English teacher. I'm Canadian, with an American boyfriend, I have a cat and a hamster (who's name is six-words long, and ends in 'wizard duel'), and today for lunch I had sushi and salad.
I love psychology, philosophy (currently learning about linguistics), coming-of-age narratives. I like, with mild disdain, my current retail job selling clothes. I hate Alfredo, because it has a white sauce that smells weird, and I also hate winter coats, because they are big, bulky, and burdensome.
I feel awkward during introductions, because I'm not quite sure how to introduce myself. I feel as if I've said too much, and still not enough. I'll leave you with the fact that at age 19, I developed an oddly shaped mole on the ring-finger of my left hand. It came out of no-where, and I worried that it was cancer, but I don't think it is. Also, I type at a speed of 110 WPM.
Nice to meet you all
