Introducing Me

2 Comments

Hello blog world! So I guess normal people would probably start a new blog within the first few days of January, but I’m a rebel and I’m weird so I decided to wait till the fifth before posting my first. Plus, I was at a New Years’/Birthday party for my grandpa in a completely different state, so you’ll have to forgive me. And if you don’t forgive me yet, you’ll really have to after reading this poem I wrote just for you.

Forgive me

For not posting

On the first

Like a good citizen

I had way more fun,
More interesting
Things to do

Over New Years

Forgive me

Being good

And being normal

Are ever so boring

Now that that's out of the way, I’d like to introduce myself. My penname is Alexa Skrywer, Alexa because I like it, and Skrywer because (I found this on Google translate) it means “writer” or “author” in Afrikaans, and, as you may have guessed by now, I’m a writer. A writer, but not a poet, which is probably a good thing.

The amount of times I used the word “writer” in the above paragraph should let you know how serious I am about it.

You might be wondering about the name of my blog: Summer Snowflakes. I chose it because, just like me, snow in the summer is unexpected, different, unique (unless of course you live up with Santa in the North Pole). And, while I may manage to appear perfectly sane and commonplace when company is around, trust me, I am not normal. But I’m OK with that now ;)

You might’ve noticed that I’m new to this blog thing, but I’ve got a couple ideas for stuff I’d like to do: posts about writing, about reading, about life, and about Star Wars, my favorite thing in the world. Just kidding about that last one, but the first three are for sure, as well as some random, just-because-I-felt-like-doing-it posts thrown in here and there. Those last ones will be about everything from politics to pop culture.

So stick around! I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it (even more would be good, too), and hopefully, I’ll see you later on this week for my next post!

Buh-bye! :D
