Musins'

First Post

11/22/25

This first post will be expectations of what I want this website to me, and a way for you to gauge my vibes. I don't bite (I promise).

Cringe introductions aside, this is my first project ever that I am letting myself be intentionally bad at. While I was a novice HTML coder in my humble tumblr, myspace, and neopet days, my brain has long since took on the burdens of adulthood in such a way I have only been able to maintain breathing and barely taking care of myself. This changes now, of course, as I have recently chosen to quit my full time corporate job in search for life fulfillment. Part of that goal is to finally allow myself to be imperfect at what I love to do, and enjoy the process. This means the website will almost always be in a constant state of 'In Progress', with a bunch of random placeholder gifs and spurts of updates when my ADHD allows me to refocus on this momentous task.

In this age of artifical intelligence, I believe we owe it to each other to present our most authentic selves. So this is my formal attempt at doing that. The Musin's page will be dedicated to random blog-like posts of my thoughts, life lessons, and my experiences. In order not to burn myself out, I will not have a set schedule as of right now, but my goal is to update at least once a week. The Writings page will be filled with my fictional writing, and my Substack will be more political based essays and thoughts. I also plan to have a dedicated set of pages for my novel characters, and an art gallery of their concept art to their current designs.

Ultimately, this website is a love letter to my home, as is anything I try to do creatively these days. I will primarily be focused on my Appalachain novel Mountain Legacies and various cultural aspects of the Appalachian Mountains. I am very much y'allternative as well, so please stick around if that's your vibe!
