My blogging past

So the other day I was having a conversation with my PCA about what I did in Ecuador. If you knew me pre-brain injury, you saw my adventures on Facebook, most of which saw me be-boppin’ around the country throughout my 20’s.

The very first time I went there I stayed with this kind family, and went to school and studied Spanish things. At the time, I wanted to find an easier (and cheaper) way of communicating with family and friends than the phone, and that’s what drew me to blogging!

I blogged semi consistently during my school days eloecuador.blogspot.com/ I can’t believe that I authored something on the internet that is mostly still working 10+ years later (though RIP some of the pictures as the site is no longer).

Check out my site from when I taught English there after I graduated undergrad in 2009: eloadventures.blogspot.com/

Anyway, I’ve always been a writer, mostly stream of consciousness heavy on the talkative point of view; but from journaling under the covers at night to blogging at sketchy internet cafés about traveling to blogging about finding purpose in a Groundhog Day life. Yeah, looking back I’ve done a lot.

Which is why I’m excited to put out in the universe that I’m in the beginning stages of writing two books, eeeep! One is about brain injury and coping 101, the other will be a collection of short stories about my life—which is sure to be interesting amirite? Do I have you intrigued? That’s good!!

Well crap dang it, I’d better get to writing! Errrr—typing! Errrr—thumbing! More about that at a later date as pressure isn’t my jam anymore,  looking at you Master’s Capstone! 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this “meta blog-within-a-bloog” masterpiece I’ve created for you! As they say in Ecuador: chao, chao! 

XOXO,
