Hi everyone

So. I thought it was high time I introduced myself. I've been creeping around here for about two weeks, commenting here and there, while working up the courage to actually post content myself. Today, I pulled up my big girl pants and got on with it. So here's me:

20170819_183149.jpg

I'm 34, living in Belgium, and I'm a medical imaging technician. I'm engaged, and together with my significant other, we have 4 dogs. We compete in dog agility and one of our dogs also competes in the show ring with me.

Other than that, my interests are varied, and my taste is eclectic.

I love to be in the kitchen. That is the only part of our house that is not ruled by the dogs. The food I cook is mostly paleo, as that keeps my migraines under control for me, and I actually blog about this on another site. Food, to me, feeds the soul as well as the body, and I love exploring the world through my tastebuds, from South America, to Asia, and with a detour past every country in Europe.

I also love the written word in all its forms. From poetry, to thrillers, to classics like Jane Austin, to fantasy novels that create a world all their own.

I just wrote my very first short story, and am collecting the courage necessary to put it out there, maybe share it with all of you. I find it scary though. When people read the blog I wrote about my daily life and food, it feels like someone looking through a photo album. But letting people actually read a fiction piece, feels more like letting you guys have a peek inside my soul. Does that make sense?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to being more active here!

Thank you for the upvote, resteem, and kind comment on Bound. I'm excited to see another new author/reader join the community!

I completely understand about Fiction feeling more like a more intimate revelation. After not writing fiction for a long time I got back into it here and before posting my first piece, I said much the same thing.

I greatly encourage you to join us on Discord at the MSP Fiction Workshop. The group there is incredibly supportive. We offer one another honest critique in an effort to hone our craft. While crit can sometimes be painful, no cruelty or trolling is tolerated. We are respectful of each other at all times, and I can personally attest to the improvement I've seen in my own and others' writing through the group's work.

Plus, @rhondak, who started the workshop, runs a dog rescue. You'll love her!

Hope to see you there! You can see how to join on any one of my recent posts.

Thank you so much for the info on the MSP workshop! I would love something like that.

Welcome. I'm looking forward to your story, as well as your food blogs. Most of my recipes are Paleo too.

Thank you for your comment. I've actually seen some of your recipes, and loved them. My foodblog is not on steemit. That one is bilingual and I use different background colours for both languages to differentiate for my readers. I don't think I can work with background colours here, but if you want I can send you a link to my blog page. I don't have the time to rewrite my blog posts on steemit, but if you're interested I could post links whenever I have a new blog post. I don't know if that's OK to do here?

welcome to our community.

Thank you. I like it already.
