About Me

Before I knew how to form letters on the page, I scribbled lines that looked like writing to me on page after page, bound them together, and handed them to people. I think that most writers tend to have a moment from their younger years they look back on and think, aha! it was destiny-and this is the earliest of mine.

These days writing is much different. It mostly involves tapping keys, spending hours staring off into other worlds, and a lot of pushing through when it all seems awful. And, why do I do it? The only answer I can come up with, is that I don’t see another way and never really have.

So, hello there, Internet. My name is Faith, I’m a great big geek, who reads and writes and becomes a tweaky fangirl without much provocation at all.

But like Walt Whitman said, I am large, I contain multitudes. Other things to know about me…

My husband and I travel full time-but slowly. We stay for a month (or sometimes a few) in various cities around the United States these days. I try to blog about traveling and trying new things on my blog, Growing Wings.

I am... Enthusiastic. Vivacious. Dark and twisty.

I love… Meeting new people. Road trips. The ocean. Learning. Music. Cooking. Reading. Riding the train. Roller Derby. Taking pictures. Bowling. Trying new restaurants. Traveling. Long walks. Picnics. Robert!

I’m a digital nomad. This means that I work on my computer, and that I have no permanent residence/I travel full time.

I’m vegan (vegetarian who doesn’t use any animal products including dairy or eggs). This bothers a lot of people, I know, but I promise I get all my necessary nutrients, even protein. I’ll mention this sometimes, mostly if I’m posting about good meals I’ve eaten.

I’m chronically ill. I have CFS/ME and PCOS. Among other things, if I over stress myself (physically or mentally) I get a “post-exertional malaise” (I end up laying in bed) for an indefinite amount of time recovering.
