How many times have I written the first post of a blog? Let me count the ways… Or not because if I take a trip down memory lane right now, this post will never end. With that said, I’ve had many blogs in my lifetime (yes, LiveJournal, you’re still my no.1) and after a near 4 year hiatus, I’ve decided to slowly get back into it.

The last 4-5 years have been something else. Something out of a Kdrama/Jane Austen novel hybrid with hints of a dystopian prequel, and I’m not just referring to you-know-what. If anything, the-2-to-4-player-cooperative-board-game-that-shall-not-be-named* was just a wrench thrown into an already rickety wagon ride. It legit all started when I decided to move to a different country. I did it, and it changed my life, but not in some epiphanous way. Just in some way that I could never completely go back to my old ways of reading voraciously and staying up until ungodly hours to write just one more scene.

Anyway! I’m back now, more or less, and here we are. A new year**, a new pseudonym (because dramatic!!), and a new blog.

*I actually adore this game. One sunny day when this is all over and we all walk up the stairs together, I will play it again!
** A lunar new year, in fact! I may or may not have scheduled this post with today’s date in mind.
