Jo Mathieson's personal blog: writing, fandom, life on the farm, opinions, sorrows, and triumphs.
First Post!
Hello, and this is my First Post on this new blog.
When I was thinking about how to title it, "First Post" rang a distant bell. It took me a while to remember, but "First Post" was a meme on Slashdot way back in the mists of Internet time (1998). I was a geek back than, working as Perl coder for a DotCom startup in London, England.
I guess I'm still a sort of a geek, though I've mellowed a lot in my old(er) age.
Now I live on 6-and-a-half acres of rural land in a farming community in Eastern Ontario, Canada, and work part time at a Farmer's Market. I tend to our small hobby farm, and our flock of chickens.
And I write. My Tumblr profile says, "Writer. Mostly slash. Some original fiction."
Over at Tumblr, I keep (kept? We'll see if this place takes off...) my posts focussed mainly on writing and fandom, with only an occasional "Life on the Farm" post. Here I'm going to "cross the streams" and blog more widely about my life as well as my writing and fandom interests... like back in the old LiveJournal days.
So expect posts about writing, cooking, running, chickens, fandom, rural life, my quilt guild, my dog and cats, paganism, KonMari, and whatever else I feel like talking about.



Howdy!
