About the Trout

Welcome to my human experience. How is it going for you?

I am a writer who is afraid of writing. This blog has forced me to journal out loud. I recently returned to blogging after more than a year of ignoring it and even though I wanted to throw it out I have decided to keep showing up. It is a way of sitting with the old stuff, letting it get mixed in with the new, accepting the mess. Love it or hate it, it is a journal to myself all the same.

What else would you like to know? Lately we are defining ourselves by things that we like. This is not the place to tell you what I like. While it is a fun game, talking about our preferences does not tell the whole story of our character.  Here are some things I do regularly:

Ask questions
Laugh when people take themselves seriously
Dream about being a honeybeekeeper
Make big salads
Watch plays and ache about writing them
Create alter egos for myself and the people I love
Walk around and try not to miss anything at all
Listen to talk radio
Think about what I should be doing (I hate the word should)
Imagine meeting you just so we can dance

This note still applies: Stella Trout is not a clown, but she does enjoy a good game of dress-up.
