Whoops, I never did a proper #introduction!

I often describe myself as a:
* #writer of fiction … I write and perform stories
* chronicler of foibles … I am an online #diarist
* wrangler of chaos … I am a #librarian and database designer

Within spitting distance of 20,000 words in my NaNoWriMo manuscript and I have given up on correcting my grammar because it takes too much time.

I greeted a library patron today with, “How’s your day going?” He responded (politely, but firmly) that he didn’t like that question. I get that. I’m also stumped by the search for a better generic greeting-type question. Suggestions?

@Thepunkgeek Please add me to Writing. #Trunk

Sorry for the following confusion, folks! I'm still figuring Mastodon out, and thought I should only be participating in one instance at a time.

Now I see the wisdom of keeping @cygnoir as my social account and also having @cygnoir for chat about #libraries and #digitalhumanities.

Zen is home from the vet and resting comfortably. She has an infection which we are treating with antibiotics. Think good thoughts for my girl, please. I love her so much.

I love the promise of a new social network.

It's like opening a new notebook, pen in hand.

What do I want to say?

Or rather:

Who do I want to be?
