I've been active on LiveJournal since 2002, which leaves me in the curious position of already having told the world everything about myself, and yet not knowing what important bits I ought to summarize here.
As might be obvious for someone who's kept a journal for 20+ years, I am engaged in a mad, passionate love affair with the written word. It is sometimes an easy, comfortable romance: relaxing at home, just me and my words playing around together on the computer screen. Other times, it is torrid: blistering heat, fingers frantic, unable to stroke the keys fast enough, desperate, demanding to see each new line. Only you understand me, text. Only through you can I ever understand myself. More often it is cold: the words will not come; they no longer love me, I think, or perhaps it is I who has stopped loving them. It is too much effort, too much energy, and I am so very tired.
Love is always hard work.
Always worth it.
I have published too many books to list here: you can find them on my website, https://ladyrowyn.com/.
I am working on my next book. I am always working on my next book, whichever book that is. Even when writing and I are at odds, I still yearn for the smooth clean forms of letters and words, for thoughts enfleshed in alphabet, ideas made tangible at last.
I have a Fediverse account, rowyn at mastodon.art.
