Where to begin? I should probably begin by telling you that I have high disdain for contrived introductory sentences like, "where to begin?" But, I'll ask you to excuse me, since I've been out of the writing game for some time. This blog will be my attempt to rejoin the ranks of my contemporaries and fellow writers. I hope you'll find something interesting. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things close to my core, which I will habitually be using as a prompt for my posts:
1. Food: I like to cook, I like to eat.
2. Beverage: I also like to imbibe.
3. Exercise: necessary to balance food and beverage with health. Recent favorite: yoga.
4. Feminism: however gentle or abrasive, I am a feminist. There are things happening in our country and in my state that I will use this blog as an outlet for discussing (as well as other relevant current events!). I welcome debate and conversation, but discourage nastiness and will moderate comments accordingly.
5. Books: a favorite college professors once said, "Reading begets writing begets reading begets writing."
6. (Un)Employment: I am currently on the hunt for new, more purposeful employment, and I think blogging will be a decent method (read:better method than polling facebook via status updates) for my journey.
If you haven't already closed the page, thanks for staying! So, yeah, all six of those are things in my absolute daily life. They are most important and consistent--aside from imbibing alcoholic beverages. I feel this is the point at which my non-existent attorney would ask me to mention that drinking alcoholic beverages is something to be done with responsibility, by non-pregnant people who are over the age of 21, and not in automobiles.
Anyway, I want to provide my readers with entertainment and thought-provocation in that sweet writer's spot between pretentious and boring. I hope I can give you reason to stick around!
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
