i was adopted. i was born into identity. i have no idea where i came from historically or ethnically. Therefore, i am a culture of myself. All the activities and chapters in my life created who i am today. i am free to select those i deem worthy of being in my family. i do not have to abide by longstanding rules or regulations. i do not have to follow in the footsteps of some long dead relative. i am a culture of myself. What i do, the things i believe in, and the rituals i make... build my identity.
i am connected to nothing at all, and deeply connected to everything around me.
i came from the earth. i am a true child of nature and spirituality. This is my gift.

Late Night Musings
I couldn’t sleep last night. My mind was teeming with ideas (writing and otherwise). So I wandered downstairs and did some work on some projects I’d like to finish before the holidaze. And wouldn’t you know it, inspiration hit. It…
DIYP Article Up: NaNoWriMo 2008 Recap
I just posted a recap about this year’s NaNoWriMo adventures over at DIYPlanner.com. I wrote a short list of all the things I’ve learned from writing a novel by hand and took a few images of my journal and inkwell.…
TGIO, NaNoWriMo 08
TGIO, or Thank God It’s Over, happened twice for me this year. The first, a bittersweet moment when I penned the words “The End” onto the last signature of my writing journal. That’s the hardest moment, the time when I’ve…
A Change of Pace
Now that I’m finished with my NaNoWriMo novel this year, I’ve been itching for a change in pace; a small project to get me back into short form writing. So, I spent 4 hours today writing another pagan essay. When…
Day Seventeen, NaNoWriMo 08
Word Count: 2975 for a total of 50766! YAAAAAY! I did it… I’m done. I finished my 7th first draft of a novel… and this TIME I DID IT ALL BY HAND. And boy was it sore tonight. Not sure…
