My name is Elisabeth, and I’ve been telling stories my whole life. I love to make people laugh, or to cry. I love to watch their eyes go soft with dreams as I continue to spin them into my tales. Before I encountered love, I yearned for it. I wrote about handsome princes and unicorns, dragons guarding the damsel in her tower, the handsome knights who would do anything and everything to win her heart. I wanted love so badly that it ached. When I was bullied as a child, I retreated into the jungle-like woods and told myself stories even as I wept. Stories were my escape and my lifeline. As I got older, I began a love affair with writing. Writing took me by the waist and waltzed me into the woods. Writing took off in a getaway car and left me in the driveway, bruises on my knees. Writing, however, always came back – unlike many others. The words don’t always come the way I want them to, but they’ll come. Eventually. This blog is going to be snippets of stories, or poetry, or whatever I feel like writing. It’s my journey to resume my love affair with writing itself, and to descend into madness or sanity – perhaps both. So hello world. It’s nice to meet you. Welcome on our journey.
