Yes, I finally made the switch to Tumblr earlier this year and for the most part I'm enjoying myself a lot; for one thing it's allowed me to share my art a lot more freely since I feel less stressed about the quality there than I do on, say, deviantArt. Another good point is I've met a lot of crazy Silmarillion fans like myself, which is exciting because I only know two people outside of the internet who have even read the whole thing. If you follow/followed me here and are interested in still keeping in touch (I'd love to stay in contact!), you can find me at: abadpoetwithdreams.
I post and reblog a lot of Tolkien/Doctor Who/Supernatural/literature/Sherlock/and Irish dance stuff, mainly, as well as my original artwork and fanart, peppered with personal posts about my life outside of fandoms. Currently I'm in the middle of setting up a separate blog for my original works of fiction. I've also started posting a lot of Breaking Bad things lately, since I got hooked on the show after attending the San Diego Comic Con panel and marathoning all aired episodes to date in only two weeks. Now I have to wait for new episodes every Sunday like the rest of the world, and it's torture.
Anyway, basically from now on I will be much more active on Tumblr than I am here. I will try to check into this blog periodically, but, I mean--just look at that gap between my last post and this one. Ouch. I should move all my book reviews to my Tumblr blog . . . Hm. Something to think about, I guess. I am not going to abandon this blog entirely, but if you want to keep in regular contact with me, my new blog is the way to go.
Thank you to everyone who has followed me here for the past, what--five years? Six? I can't even remember. I made my first post on the eve of my leaving home to attend college for the first time, and now here I am writing as a new graduate. Yes, I graduated with a BA in English with highest honors, and am currently job hunting while taking a break from school to write and dance. I will be returning to the world of academia to get my Masters, possibly next year. Right now I'm considering pursuing a career in fairy tale and folklore studies, as that's what I spent the last two years of my college career writing an honors thesis on.
Anyway, the point is--thank you. It's amazing how much I've changed and how much I've grown since I first began this blog. As I continue moving forward I will be delighted if you choose to follow me to my new internet home, but if not, then I wish you the best as we part ways and I will still update here periodically, with my infrequent updates hopefully always providing you a smile. God bless!
