Hey all.
I've missed this place. I miss the fandom, the great stories, the smut, all of it. I miss the thrill of seeing a new chapter of a story I'm following in my inbox, and then hiding in the bathroom to get a moment of peace to read it. I love writing, but I love reading even more. And what I enjoyed most was the community I found here that shared both of those passions. When I discovered fanfiction, I was a working mom with young kids. This place was a wonderful escape for me that I could enjoy without worrying about getting a babysitter. And when I started writing, it opened me to a world filled with witty and fun women who shared a common passion and enjoyed discussing it.
That was my favorite part, the discussions. The connection. And all of the forums we had that facilitated it. I frickin' loved it.
Fast forward, and here we are in 2021. What a crazy world we are living in, right? I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm stressed out, stretched thin, overworked, overtired, overwhelmed, and completely underappreciated. I need an outlet. I've been desperately looking for a way to recharge my battery, and this time, chocolate just ain't cutting it.
And the threesome I was having with Ben&Jerry's, as delicious as it was, was not sustainable.
So I need to be writing again. It was my best form of self-therapy, and I miss it more than you can imagine. But this time I want something more intereactive. I want to write about stuff that we can all relate to and feel deep down in our bones. And then discuss and explore…and find an outlet together to recharge our batteries and revive our souls. So I'm starting a blog about doing just that. I want to talk about doing things that make us happy, beating the daily grind, finding and feeding our passions.
I'm over at www dot The Burnt Cookie dot com.
I'm a food whore, so of course I had to nod to that.
I built the sandbox, and I'd love for you to come play with me. Bring your toys.
And wine and snacks, of course :)
