A First Post

 It's an interesting thing, I think, to start up a new blog. I spend most of my time on tumblr, where I have been for about four years now. I spend more time reblogging things on that tumblr than I do actually posting content. My own voice gets lost in it, I guess. 

I hadn't thought much about using Dreamwidth--when LiveJournal was popular, it wasn't really my thing. My fannish pursuits were elsewhere, although there were a few communities I lurked on. I lurk on a few communities here, too, but you know--

It might be nice to have a place to catalog some of my writing, and perhaps some of my reading too. I want to be better about logging the things I encounter and the things I love. So here's to hoping I can keep it up! 

(as an aside, the title of this blog is from the song The Selkie, by Iona Leigh. It's very lovely.)
