I LIVE!

 Ah, I live!  And so does this blog!  There were some rough times in the past--lost jobs, a parental passing, relationship troubles, and then a new job and a new relationship (not to mention stupid covid lockdown, ugh!)...y'know...the "usual" life stuff that kicks you to the curb and knocks out all the teeth in your head and you're left scrambling around putting the pieces back together--but I am back for more here!  

I know, I know..."Teresea Fae, that's what you said in your last post that was FIVE YEARS AGO!"  

Okay, you know what?  Life happens (see 1st paragraph).  Sometimes it's one step forwards, two steps back...and vice versa--I've danced a complex rhumba over the last several years and I think I'm in a pretty great place now, thank you very much.  And I want to return here, to this blog, The Faerie Ring.

 Why not just use social media?  Well, hmm, lemme think...  Maybe it's because I really, really, passionately detest the social media atmosphere and I really, really, truly missed this space of mine, so I am raising it from the dead--just like a necromancer.  A digital necromancer.  A digimancer?  No, not a Digimon.  Pokemon all the way, dudes.

Joking aside, I am excited to share new vistas of Arts and mysticism on this blog again.  I've got some neat things planned--graveyard photos, sketches, piano music, mythology musings, and lots of writing, just to name a few--to share and I can't wait to document what I'm up to again.

Onward!

Yo! Update!

Yo dudes!  Long time no see (but that happens with me...cue the promise to be active more here...)!

I've been a busy little bumblebee!  My S.O. & I are finally living together again and I have been going back to school!  I've also been writing like crazy!  And it's not just fanfiction, either!

I took an intensive creative writing course this last summer and it really lit a fire under my butt!  I have been writing not just more short stories, but I have revisited poetry and have written a ton of poems with my rekindled love of poetry found again!

Not only that, but I put together a writing group with another classmate and not only have we recruited members and meet regularly, but we also have been encouraging each other to submit our work to contests!  I have entered into one poetry contest and one short story contest already, with one more of each on the way!  We'll also be looking at what it takes to go the publishing route after this upcoming NaNoWriMo (which I WILL be participating in this year!  I already have 1100 words and counting!!!)!

So there's a lot going on in my life writing-wise, which is probably what will be coming up on this blog here for the next few posts.  I'll be posting some stories, poems, a few essays, as well as some light fanfiction peppered throughout because I honestly can't resist my sweet tooth.  I hope to also post blurbs of my NaNoWriMo, but we'll see how that goes with everything else I got planned:

I may re-organize this blog.  The tags are quite messy and could really be condensed, I think.  But that's a project to ponder and one that won't take place until probably after I am done with this school quarter.  In the meantime, look out for new Pages at the top of the blog - I'll be a good Capricorn and organize the writings and such in one easily accessible place.

State of the Union

I found this article on J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in my Facebook feed today:

$3 Billion and Counting: JP Morgan's Loss Grows by 50% in 5 Days

And so I was immediately reminded of this image:

However, I think I want to move to Ecuador.

Self Annotating Placeholder

Wow, it's been awhile since I've even looked at this thing. Currently, I am in the midst of looking for new work, which keeps me occupied so unfortunately I have not been working on many of my projects. Except the writing. I've been writing like crazy. I probably have some bits of my stories that I can post here, without giving too much away. For now though, I'm content with this short message here. I'll get all my shit together soon.
