First Things First

Okay, so first post.

If anyone is reading this, I can only imagine you stumbled across it by clicking the 'random blog' feature, or maybe you were searching the web for signs of my old internet handle. Maybe this came up on some random search engine because I have written just the precise keyword or phrase you were looking for.

Whatever the reason, I don't expect you to stay. For a few reasons. Though let me introduce myself first. I'll address the thing about the 'old' internet handle. Eyliena was my screen name for internet ... anything for a long time. It's pronounced ee-lee-en-a, if you're confused. I've heard many variations on how to pronounce it over the years. Lets give a history of eyliena before we move on.
First off, it was a lower case e. Weird? Yes. But I did pick it out because it looked aesthetically pleasing. Eyliena was born of a character I made once named Eylien. He was hardly significant to the story he was a part of, being the brother of one of my main characters, but I liked the look and the sound of the name, it being one of the only nice-sounding names I ever strung letters together to create (some of my other "gems" were Adakaday and Hayedl, so you know what I'm getting at.) Eylien was a boy, so I added an a to make it feminine and so was born my internet handle. A while beforehand, I wandered around the internet as Mikkifavo, who was actually the main character in my first story. Eyliena hung out on forums and ... um ... I think Eyliena never really did much of anything, but eventually, I evolved into Lhmac.

So that's me, Lhmac. Maybe Llama, if you know me from brony forums (*waves*). But Lhmac will be my forever internet name for writing.

So, my point. I know I had one somewhere. What first thing was supposed to be first? I suppose it is why I'm writing this. Especially since if you're reading this, I'm not sure how you got here. I'm not sharing this on Facebook or anything, I'm not cross-linking between my blogs - not for a while, at least. I just felt that Lhmac needs to be out there, on the internet, as more than just a writer of stories. Lhmac needs to be honest about who she is and what she stands for, and Lhmac needs more practice at writing.

So this is my little self-indulgence. I don't expect anybody to read this because until I've written more, I don't expect that I will have anything insightful to say, just little thoughts, musings, stuff I don't expect anyone to be overly interested in. This is an exploration of me, my life, the things I find important. And maybe, if I keep writing, I'll find the strength to show myself to the world, silly first intro post and all. Because if I have the ability to say these things on the internet to no one, I'll find the strength to say them to people in real life.

Or maybe I can just link them to this blog ;)
