Hello my sweet babs! It seems to have been a while since I've updated. I sincerely apologize for that. We just finished moving all our shit over to the new house, and we still have a LOT of unpacking to do. This should be fun, and I say that (for once) without any sarcastic tones! I am a very sarcastic person, so this is a new milestone for me, haha. I've been doing stuff with my family too, so I don't get overwhelmed by just exactly how stressful moving can be. I try to look on the bright side, but I've been super stressed out about it. My birthday just came around, and my dad got me a laptop, so I'm going to start updating more, since I love the feeling of the keys beneath my fingertips.
Second thing! I AM WRITING A STORY??? The reasons for the question marks are, 1, I never write stories, 2, I'm not sure if it's a book or a story, and 3, I want to share it with you, but I don't know if I should. I'm thinking about putting up the prologue first, and seeing how people react. What do you think? Should I?
FINALLY! Name reveal! My name is Sylvia. I have been writing since my life started getting rough when I was 11. It's kind of a coping mechanism. I retreat into my fantasies and paragraphs, turn to my honeyed, romanticized words that make everything feel like it's better than it actually is. I have kept journals since before I could read and write, even though they were just senseless doodles. I always got the highest grade in the class on stories and poems in elementary, and I have a very wordy brain. Almost everything I look at, I think of a line for, that romanticizes and enhances that object. For example, the other day I literally looked at a FREAKING TABLE and thought "And as it stood on four legs in the center of the room, it was the only stable thing in the room. And if this table could speak, despite the balance it has on those four appendages, this table would spit out emotionally unstable rabble." I honestly don't know why my brain works like this, but it's a blessing and a curse. Some people wish they had wordy brains? I wish I had a brain that worked slightly more mathematically, so I could just pass an algebra class with more than a C.
Anywhoooooo, this is probably a very long update. I think I'm going to sign off now, but with my real name! This makes me so happy!
Love you all,
Sylvia!
