Book Description

Guess we need to get used to the new format.

I was known under a different name on DE, one I don’t wanna make public. I began my DE diary in 2002 under a name that reflected the types of stories I wrote. As I continued writing fantasy stories on DE in an impersonal way, I gradually started mixing in bits of personal life and getting to know people. Eventually, it became all personal life posts and I toyed with changing my name. Others have started new diaries on DE as their lives changed, but that didn’t feel right to me. My past was what it was and the diary provided a seamless place where all that change, heartache, joy, and growth took place. My DE diary was initially public, but when I began writing more personal entries, I made it ALL private due to the past content, and also because there was one person on DE, the one who introduced me to DE, who I knew on real life and I did not desire that person to see any of my life. I had a small group of friends on DE who I allowed to glimpse into my personal life, and with whom I interacted regularly, all in support of one another. Even met a few in r/l, incuding the guy who faked his death.

Hoping that this new home will be just as supportive and non judgemental as DE was.
