Tales from Terebinthia

I was talking to a very old friend of mine a few days ago and she asked about my writing.  The truth is, I don't write as much as I wish I could.  Often I either find work taking over my life or I find that I have writer's block - and I want this blog to become something of a creative outlet.  Both for my writing and also as a way for me to comment in my own (probably very un-unique) way about the world around me.

Asleep yet?  Yep, I don't blame you, but then this is a way of expressing myself and one thing that it will be is ... very honest.

I will tell you five things about myself:

I am in my early twenties.
I am a teacher.
I love books.
I am a christian.
The three most important things in my life are my friends, my family and most importantly my faith.

These four things will probably have a big impact in my writing and I won't apologise for this.

As to the name ... Terebinthia is an island in the Narnia books created by C.S. Lewis.  I love his writing and all of his books, although The Horse and His Boy is probably my favourite.  I love to write and do occassionally wander into the highly contested world of fanfiction.  I have been known to use the world of Narnia as the canvas within which to write a piece of fiction and all credit goes to C.S. Lewis for the wonderful world he created (and the wonderful gaps he left for me to play with!).
So the title is metaphorical of my flights of fancy into not only Narnia or fan fiction, but writing as a whole. In essence, tales and wonderings from my imagination.

So many thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the ramblings of my mind and imagination!
