I believe my exact words were "I haven't written much in a long, long time, so excuse any awkward flow or odd word choice." Apparently they were excused, because Daily Literature Recognition selected my tiny sketch Emerald Queen for their daily recognition here!

Hopeless
Am I chasing something that doesn't exist anymore? Am I really a writer anymore?

I did it here because I was afraid people wouldn't take my writing seriously if I disclosed my age. It was probably worth it then.

Time Crawls On
Finally feeling like I can write again, at least a little. Things have been very up and down, but that will always be better than dark and down. I agreed with a friend to try the 100 Themes Challenge (using Variation #1), just a casual way to write snippets that aren't using the same novel characters. I love those people dearly, but I need to flex my writing muscles to build them up again.
I've mentioned this in a poem already, but in late August I moved from my home in California across the country to New England. There are some wonderful new positives to living here -- fall colors, anybody? -- but it's been a little bit of a rocky adjustme
DeviantArtist Questionnaire
No idea if we can still submit these, but...
How long have you been on DeviantArt?
I joined in late 2010, and I've been on this account since August of 2011.
What does your username mean?
Back in the days of DS Lites, I only had ten characters for a username. I love the Cheshire Cat, but that was simply too long and I used ChesherCat. I tried to use that when signing up for this account, but it was taken. Hence, THE Chesher Cat.
Describe yourself in three words.
Passionate about lots.
Are you left or right handed?
Right.
What was your first deviation?
On my other account, application for the RP group I was joining. On this account,
