*Or, if you don't believe in creationism, a radically unscientific approach to who I am as a writer, a person, and why I've set up this blog outside of the general class requirements saying I had to do so.
---
I'm fairly certain everything started with a fifth grade poetry unit and some dolphins, which, if you're like myself, you know are the worlds second most intelligent creatures, after mice. I absolutely do not intend to have this go back to any fifth grade poetry units, or dolphins anytime soon, so those among you who are Delfiniphobics are safe here.
As you can see, I'm a bit of an arse when I write about myself, and I like long words. I also enjoy poetry, innuendos, metaphors, terrible puns, wonderful puns, drawing, cartooning, writing terrible things happening to good people, and vice versa. I've been told my writing voice reflects on Margaret Atwood by a computer program, and Bradbury by someone I trust dearly, and 'Scary' by my own mother once in a while.
I believe in taking prompts like one would walk around a nest of angry hornets: Go any which way but straightforward. This presents a problem for some readers, and myself occasionally, as I'm stubborn, free-spirited, and apt to shrug my shoulders and ask why I cannot in fact write what I please.
My inner voice monologues, describes, and tackles things- We get along well, unless I'm trying to concentrate and my entire being wants to write about a comet hitting an island, at which point it becomes frustrating.
Outside of writing, I've got several varied interests. The 'about me' section to your left will link you to most of my little online hide-aways, and you'll probably notice I like pastel-colored-friendship-ponies, roleplaying through writing, Disney characters, science fiction, and cooking. I also have a fondness for superhero aprons, comic books, feminism, and combining the above three. I like to think of myself as a feminist and someone who works hard to understand people, but I'll be first to admit I do make mistakes occasionally. I work hard to try to understand, but I'm human, and miss some things occasionally.
This blog was started as something for class, and those assignments will be tagged as such ('blog assignment') and numbered in the title. I may also post some drabbles, flex my fingers across a keyboard occasionally, and write up some outside stuff- I haven't decided yet. I don't hesitate to mention that, frankly, whatever I write outside of class, and perhaps even inside of classes, will be absolutely uncensored, unless I choose not to post in, in which case you'd never know! Haha!
Sorry, my voice there switched to manic for a moment. I apologize; My stream of consciousness writings tend to have volatile moodshifts that can be alarming. Another warning.
The purpose (?) of this blog, is, I pray, to increase the..Futility? Narrative strength? Potency? (Heh.) Volume? Length? Shelf-life? Ability? Consistency? Output?
Any which one of those you pick, I suppose, would be the one this blog is geared for. Maybe it's geared for all of them. Maybe it's just going to be geared towards writing about giant squids.
Who knows? I haven't even started yet..!

But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
