Intro? Intro!

Alright babes, it's 2026, time for me to be active again on my blog rather than just let the (lengthy) queue do its thing (it still will, but I want some participation points in this thank you).

Hi! I'm Meems and I've been wanting to make myself a creative hub for a while, so here it is. I like to write and I'm learning to draw, and I love to hop from hobby to hobby until something sticks. So far I've tried embroidery and bookbinding, and I would love to try sewing next. I really like needlework in general.

What I'm working on right now:

  • A novel. A vampire hunter story set in the 18th century in an alternate European setting. (#vampire novel and #vampire novel research on this blog)
  • I'm *trying* to dip my toes into creating Youtube videos. Need to get passed my fear of being perceived first. (Half credit for me redoing this intro on this blog rather than on the other one I created for this purpose)
  • Learning how to draw. The last time I drew consistently was in high school. I'm now 35. Do the math. I do both traditional and digital drawing, and my main traditional media are watercolor/gouache and colored pencils.
  • Witchcraft! I don't do spells for other people unless I know them personally though, at least not yet. I'm currently big into tarot and anything to do with herbs and food.

Feel free to message me about anything you see on my blog that interests you, or if you just want to chat.

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist

By this point Loch Ness is probably the inland body of water we can be most sure doesn't have a monster in it.

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).

This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind
