Whew, hello there! Do you know how much it costs to get a domain name? Jeez, well, I have this for a year so I guess there's no going back now! How the heck are ya?
This is the second blog-style thing that I've done this year. My other website is more of a "portfolio" so I thought I would try to be official here and create a website with the name I've always wanted (thank god it was still available). Not that I would have been deterred if it wasn't available. Things would have just been a little different.
My intent is for this to be a sort of lifestyle/writing blog. I have joined two writing groups, I'm applying to part-time publishing internships, and I am working on my novel. But I also just moved house, got a new job, and I am getting married in 3 months. So . . . This may end up becoming a ranting space some days. If that's not your cup of tea, that's completely okay. I've never been one to make someone read something they didn’t want to. I don't even know how I would make you considering we're in two completely different places.
Now that we've already gotten into the thick of it, let me introduce myself! My name is Alyson. I have a lovely partner that was crazy enough to want to marry me. I have 3 cats: Piper, Millie, & Mara. And that's about it! Whenever people ask me to share something interesting about myself, I always go to the 3 cat thing. Why? I don't know. Maybe because cats are cool. Maybe because pets in general are cool. Maybe because I don't think so highly of myself. Oops, did I say that out loud? Oh well. I'm sure it's fine.
One thing that I will also disclose is that I struggle with depression and anxiety. I don't know how much either of those things will come to play in my writing on this form, but I just want to make anyone who might be reading this aware. I refuse to hide it and I refuse to be ashamed of it. But see, that's still not as fun as saying "I have 3 cats." Cats just make everything better.
I'm the type of person that likes to stay busy and maybe you're the same or maybe you're not. Either way, that's okay! We're all on our own journey. But this blog was just another way that I could keep myself busy . . . and avoiding knitting those blankets I promised to gift people. But anyways . . . I hope that you enjoy your time here. I am open to any and all writing advice and I look forward to growing together as a community. Thank you for your time!
