Hello

the muse, 2021 (an reinterpretation of an Edward Hopper painting)

Hello and welcome to my little space, my blog. This is my introduction for this new-ish blog which is now about 31-ish months old (I started writing this intro about two years ago) but as with most things, it doesn't get done until it's too late or when I decide to just to do it. The old introduction, also, the first post of this blog, is here. (My previous blog is here if you care to browse.) Here is my newish-introduction in list form with some rambling:

01 - Let's start with the basic - name: Lissa - spellcheck keeps telling me to correct it but I swear there is two s in my name. It's a shorter version of Melissa which in Greek means honeybee which is not me at all but hey, at least it doesn't mean anything bad. I also go by the pseudonyms M. Faith and YK Faith and I use them depending on my mood.  

02 - Some things I like:
(a) Reading, writing, drawing, watching shows and movies, listening to music
(b) Wearing clothes with pockets because pockets are useful
(c) Thinking I'm a high-functioning introvert but that may be wrong. Perhaps I'm more of a low-functioning introvert who sometimes can pretend to be a high-functioning extrovert but probably only on this blog
(d) Doing jigsaw puzzles
(e) Complaining just about everything
(f) Making lists (mostly in sevens) - in fact, 99% of this blog is and will consist of lists of just about anything
(g) Lemon cookies

03 - What I will likely post here are fiction writings (a lot of this), drawings (not much of this), books and book-related things (sometimes a lot of this) and ramblings about random life things (plenty of this). Reading is my joy in life or at least it was until I started watching a bit too much television. Maybe writing fiction is my joy in life because that's the one thing I love to do but also sort of hate editing. But I consider my blog a personal blog which means I can post whatever I want and I don't have to stick to anything except I had formed habits so I do kind of stick to post the above things I've mentioned.

There you go, a somewhat introduction. You can find me, well, here, on this blog. I'm not at any social media place. Send your comments, thoughts, questions, complaints or friendly hellos to lissawrites(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanks for reading & have a lovely day.
