Your visits are always so welcome. Your style is so unique and I love the Oriental flavor of your writing, it is precious.
I seem to be spending most of my mental time in 16th century Japan lately...the fictional and real...LOL. I looked up the spelling for Knitting in Japanese the other day...keami...it’s spelled with two kanji (chinese style characters) and a regular character. The middle one, which is the “core” meaning in this case, means things like knitting, twisting, braiding and compilation, editing, completed written work, completed poem... I always used the Knitting thing as a pun, referring to the twising of words as well as yarn...but it’s even more meaningful in Japanese...LOL. Couldn’t have done that on so well on purpose if I wanted to.
No wonder my mind is finding a strange creative home there...
And the Dragonflies’ Lair threads are one place I always feel at home, no matter how crazy it gets....I just don’t always have something to offer.
And the fiction writing’s going well. I’ve won a number of awards in the fanfiction community for one of my pieces. Somehow or other, I’ve turned into someone that can write romance, historical fiction and mystery. Never knew that I had that in me.
Sometimes, we need the break to be creative. It’s really been good for my mental health.
