New year, new friends?
Hello, everyone! Like many people, I'm a semi-recent convert to Dreamwidth after a long history on Livejournal. One of my goals for the new year is to more fully shift my presence from LJ to DW, and I think one thing that would help me do that is a more active group of DW-friends. So here I am, hoping to meet a few new folks!
About me:
My name is Katie, I've just turned 39, I'm queer, and I'm female. I'm a writer and writing tutor by profession (I write fiction and book reviews; I tutor high school students and beginning creative writers). I grew up in New York State, and currently live in Philadelphia. I live in a very old house with my girlfriend of nineteen years and our two cats. I love to read (favorite writers include E.M. Forster, Marilynne Robinson, Virginia Woolf, Pat Barker, Ursula K. Le Guin, George Saunders, etc). I also like cooking, baking, canning, and food preservation of all kinds; hiking and bird watching; gardening; swimming; yoga; watching baseball.... I'm a rather typical introvert and lead a fairly quiet life. I drink entirely too much tea.
About my journal:
Way back in 2001, right after I graduated from college, I began using LJ as a reading journal. That's still one of my primary uses for my journal--I often post informal book reviews and thoughts on whatever I happen to be reading at the moment. In addition to books, I write about food and the projects I undertake in the kitchen. Sometimes I use my journal to track goals. Sometimes I write about the things that are going on in my life. Rarely (very rarely) I share my writing. Sometimes I post about art, or the creative process, or a quotation that caught my attention. I tend to post about once or twice a week. There are often photos. I keep my journal friends-only, but if any of this sounds interesting to you I will be happy to add you so you can check it out. No harm done if it turns out to not be your style after all!
What I'm Looking For:
I'd love to meet people who share my interests, especially fellow book-nerds who want to geek out about literature with me. Outdoorsy folks, creative folks, thinkers, makers, teachers, learners.... I can't promise to be the world's greatest commenter and I don't expect you to be either, but I would like to talk to each other at least occasionally. I do periodically unfriend people if it seems like there's no connection between us--if that's a problem, I may not be the right friend for you.
Say hello! Let's get to know each other!
