the woman behind the posts

I blog for books!

really cool people who follow my blog...

Barbara/myth maker: Brooklyn, New York, United States; I'm a city woman with a country sensibility. I love the sky, and how it is a constant in life. I want this blog to be some type of record of my creative process, more or less... whether it be writing, crafting things, or photography. I am apt to go off on tangents of seemingly unrelated content, of course.

Your Animal is the Adder

You are mentally sharp. You have an amazing memory, and you're a shrewd problem solver.
You are a natural healer, and you are drawn toward taking care of people.

Your family is the most important thing to you. You feel lost without them.
You are drawn to the mystical and magical. You find the paranormal to be useful in understanding the world.

You Are a Lynx

You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully.
You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in.

You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul.
What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.
