Who Am I?

Before I answer the whole who am I question, let me first say, who am I not?
I am whoever I choose to be and I will give you the most realistic internet version of myself.  Although the internet allows us to remake ourselves into the version we'd like everyone to think we are, I don't want to do that. I say the most realistic version because everything will not be happy and outlandishly unrealistic. I'm human, and I'll try my best to project me.
So. Who am I?
My name is Kristian and I love to read across the genres. I also love horses and enjoy being around them. I collect the miniature plastic variety.
I'm a college student who's still trying to figure out her place in the world. My life plans change like the weather. It's stayed pretty consistent and is circling around two varying subjects: art and english. I decided that art would be my hobby and english a possible career choice. I don't know what I'll do with my English degree. It is yet to be seen, but I'll figure it out soon.
I choose another writing blog because I want to write more and find my voice. I want to breathe life into characters and actually finish their journey. This blog will be full of stories that Madison and I write. Our artwork will be intermingled in between posts and sometimes we'll talk about books too. This blog is for the art of writing. Sometimes we will give prompts to each other or write from our own inspiration.
I'm hoping when I look back at past stories posted here, down the road, I'll say to myself, "Hey Kristian, look how far you've come. Look at how you've improved."

Who I Am...

Let's start with the basics. My name is Madison and I'm a college student. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Art Education. What will I do with it (Yes! There is other options then teaching K-12)? Well, I'm currently torn between classroom education and museum education.  Nature and mythology are my main inspirations in both my art and writing. To me the way how the elements of the world interact is fascinating.

Like Kristian, I'm writing to find and perfect my voice. You will find me posting poetry quite often. It was one of the first forms of creative writing I was introduced to and it just clicked. Book reviews, short stories, and some non-fiction writing is also fair game for me. I might even throw in some of my artwork too.

Perhaps when I'm looking back at this, I'll be able to see how much I've grown.
