Is there a 12-step group for compulsive writers?

About

At various points, I have gone by the following names in the blogosphere: Helcat, Deviathan, Exurbanista, Gallycat, Garish Drubbery, DharmaPanda, Zen Pooky, Shiversplit, Kersplunkity, Vahnia, Helenn, and probably a half dozen more that I’ve forgotten. For 2008, I promised myself I’d merge blogspaces. Since doing so happened to coincide with my changing my name from Helen H. Thompson to Helen C. H. Mosher (the “C.” being a throwback to my Boleyn ancestor Catherine Carey and giving legitimacy to the Helcat nickname I’ve never been able to shake), I decided to migrate from my other most well-known blogname, Gallycat, to HelenMosher.com.

I wanted to write more, but I’ve been listening to the David Sedaris audiobook of Me Talk Pretty Someday, and it’s causing me to affect a sense of humor that I’m not sure is authentic.

So I’ll write more later. What you need to know in the meantime is that I am:

  • a compulsive writer
  • unable to settle on a hair color
  • on a weight loss journey
  • chronically broke
  • fascinated with off-the-grid life skills, like knitting and canning
  • a graduate of Colonial Heights High School, Lord Fairfax Community College, and Temple University
  • almost but not quite married to mistermosher, a/k/a Darling Future Husband (DFH)
  • too young to have a 15-year-old son (K.), at least when you consider that all my peers have preschoolers and babies, if kids at all
  • living in the Northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
  • wishing I lived in Philadelphia
  • a vocally progressive Episcopalian who has no desire to proselytize but who writes extensively about faith
  • a speculative fiction fangirl
  • a former goth, music critic and occasional DJ
  • a social media strategist for a defense/intelligence association
  • an ENFP
  • a 6-5-9-2 on the Kolbe A
  • 5′7″
  • a Libra
  • a former bookstore manager
  • celebrating my 10th year on the blogspace midlist

…among many other things, subject to change daily.
