*Drags her pile of books + paintprushes up on the cobblestones, wipes her brow, and props up happily on her little corner of the Sunny.Garden* Yay, thank you so much for welcoming me in! Thank you @brook @megan @ipsquiggle @Mustbetuesday @opal! Here's my #Introduction #Introductions for Sunny.Garden, as I am #NewtoMasto

I'm in my late 30s and a writer of #highfantasy #epicfantasy #fantasy #romantasy #cozyfantasy #cozy #cozysolarpunk #solarpunk #fiction and #poetry.
I'm attempting to become a better #digitalart artist also, in order to own my work process end to end ....We'll see if I can get there, lol.

I love #cats, #TTRPGs cozy socks (but forever losing those, alas!), #folklore, Mary Oliver the legendary poet, delight, wonder, witchiness, magic, and mystical meaning. Taylor Swift is my jam; Member of the #TorturedPoetsDepartment!

I hope to grow some poems here, mostly in response to delightful moments and music and art and pop culture. I'll some times share from my Substack, or my other more "networking" outlets.

And most of all looking forward to following / bolstering fellow creative hearts, find writing kindred spirits, joining hashtag writing events, talking about writing + poetry craft, books, the self-pub industry, and the power of the imagination and seeing the magical in daily life.

So happy to be here, can' t wait to dive in and have coffees on the porch on my part of the Sunny.Garden with everyone on the fediverse! <3

Warm hello from my corner of the internet -- here's my #introduction #introductions stand-up for hear-me.social

I'm in my late 30s, from the Elmhurst-Oak Brook, IL, area, USA, introverted, and I love waffles. I'm a lover of all things good, nourishing, and positive. Anti-Trump (but not socially political, will probably extremely rarely talk about politics here), progressive, and lover of wonder, serenity, sunlight. Hoping to contribute the good, inspiring, and cute here (like cute #cats ) . Maybe even get more serious and post some fiction and poetry as I know AI scraping is blocked on hear-me.

I appreciate the way hear-me.social implements Mastadon and the way hear-me chooses to open and closed- the protection against AI is my biggest fave. It is the only server stating that they do so. Utilization of many technologies to protect users is also another. Implementing the fediverse as the way it should be - federating openly -- while having moderation rules that are safe and pro-human. So thank you to @admin for that

My follow motto: #Nourishing, Cultured, Likes #books (especially #fiction and high #fantasy !) and #poetry, #positive, progressive, pro-science, anti-misinformation, anti-Trump, #LGBTQA +-friendly/allied, #BIPOC friendly/allied, pro-immigrant and allied, not overly-political or confessional.

Can't wait to meet everyone!
