The First Post

It's kind of intimidating, kicking off a new website, or at least, or at least it feels that way as I actually sit down, writing this first post. It shouldn't be, considering this isn't my first rodeo, which was way, way back, over a decade ago during they heyday of the Mom Blog™, when I spent hours and hundreds of thousands of words waxing poetic about sleepless nights and clothes that would never fit the way they were supposed to.

Don't worry. You're not in for a repeat. That's not what this is. 

I'm not exactly sure what this is. 

Not really. 

I have Wattpad and Patreon for posting my writing, and honestly as Little Lost Luna is closing in on a million views, it's been amazing to see that level of comments and interaction about characters that originally came to life in my head. Seeing people post theories and argue about a world that I created has got to be in the top three experiences I've had as a writer, and it's made it so that even the not so friendly comments can be pretty awesome. 

I used to dream about being published, and still, someday, that would incredible, but having this many people read something I wrote and enjoy it, has been pretty unbelievable too.

Still, sometimes there are things that I want to post that are definitely not Patreon-let's-send-an-email-out-to-everyone-worthy. Because that's not really what you sign up for when you subscribe on Patreon. And they aren't really for Wattpad either. And that is where the idea for this website was a born. 

Have blogs seen their time come and go? Maybe. Probably. 

Still, I sort of like having my own little corner of the internet that's just mine, apart from Wattpad, Patreon, and all the other social media sites. 

So here we are. 

Now in the interest of total disclosure, or as close as we're going to get to it, Ophelia is my nom de plume. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, that means it's my pen name. 

You see, I have kids, and I know my middle schooler would die a thousand deaths if she knew her mother wrote romance novels and people actually read them. And I can't have that. I'm already embarrassing enough just by existing and being mom, because she's at that age. 

Anyways that is probably enough of an introduction for our first day here. 

There's more to come. 

Welcome. I'm glad you found me.
