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

@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?
