One thing I am good at: Anything involving words made of language. Any language. If I don't already know it, I can probably hack it. I am linguistic SillyPutty. I have a linguistic coprocessor in my brain that can do things which are supposed to be impossible. It occupies space that other people use for things like face recognition. I wouldn't trade it away for anything.
Other things I want to share about myself: I post daily, often several times a day unless something prevents that. If you're looking for an active blog, this is it, and many of my audience members are active too. I enjoy boosting the signal for other people's events, as well as science news and other current events; some friends use me as a newsfeed. I am happy to make new friends. It's also fine if you prefer lurking.
Regular events:*
Poetry Fishbowl on the first Tuesday of each month. Next up will be February 1 with a theme of "
Flipping Expectations." Leave prompts, get poems! Much of this is original, but if you like my fanwritting, you'll probably like my original writing as it contains many of the same themes and motifs. Fannish prompts are also acceptable, since I can use those as freebies.
*
crowdfunding Creative Jam on the third weekend of each month. Next up will be February 19-20 with a theme of "Hopefulness."
*
Recurring Posts (
see tag) on coping skills, philosophical questions, Monday Update, Good News, Hard Things, and Cuddle Party.
