girliejonesWay back in the long ago I started writing on Livejournal (ahem, it was actually Diaryland but anyhoo) to get myself to write *something* everyday. To keep the words flowing or whatever. I wanted to be a writer and didn't really know where to start. Along the way, I discovered that my actual best style is "livejournal" - is that a writing style? You can't do much with it! Or can you ...? I made a lot of friends. I built networks. I became a better person.
And somehow, out of that, I moved or put writing on the backburner, and started editing. Then I started my small press, which I like to now call publishing company, since it's all incorporated and I'm legally the director and all that jazz. Seems weird to think back on and last night I had a phonecall from my old uni asking me all this "since you left uni" questions and I apparently sounded like I'd lived an interesting life so far. And I suppose I have.
I am easing my way back to being here, on Dreamwidth. I don't know how I am going to use this space. I have taken a lot of my random postings to my Facebook and I still like that space for interacting with people I would never bump into here or on Twitter or whatever. But there's lots you can't do on Facebook. Likewise, I enjoy what others do with their Dreamwidth - using it as a more high brow, shall I say?, space?
I'm currently looking at reworking my press newsletter or evolving it someway and maybe this space would sit somewhere between that and my Facebook? Still a work in progress.
