Bio:
|
I've been in the mudding community since 1998, having stayed with my first mud, Mozart Mud, from the very beginning and moving on from there. As a biologist, I have had the opportunity to be involved in some amazing experiences all over the world, and enjoy using the natural world to be creative in the MUDding community. I recently met (we were acquainted, but went several years without contact) the absolute love of my life, and we purchased a home (no small feat in CA even with the market as it is)here in the Sacramento area. I'm a passionate, energetic, Scorpio born in the Year of the Serpent; an ENTJ on the Meyer-Briggs Personality Test, a devotely opinionated woman on everything from politics to music, and I love my life. Couldn't have asked for better if I tried. |

I love this community. I got sucked into Mudding when I was 20 (30 now), and it seemed like I had never ending energy to stay logged in and scrambling around on XP runs once upon a time. I was, as I've seen others go through many many times over the years, completely addicted. So, my question is what do I call myself now? I'm not into playing like I used to, and prefer the creation/world design aspect. I still seem to spend more time on Mudding than I really have any right to considering all the external world needs that have to be met in one way or another. I read TMC, go through my highs and lows about whether I feel at any given moment; A. encouraged to help my good friend launch another mud (yeah, yeah original concepts-I've got something unique to offer blah), B. write for others already established, or, C. just cringe at the seemingly unending ugly work already out there and give up. I'm not a coder, and probably could be considered in this community as semi-computer illiterate. I've got tons of ideas, a fairly broad vocabulary, and a true love of imagination. I find comfort in a well told story and the beauty of the written word. I'm pretty sure that I'm not a unique commodity, but I do expect that there are plenty of people here who have to constantly balance their lives, their interests in Mudding, and the roller coaster of where you feel you can make the most rewarding contribution. So how do you all stay so dedicated to your projects, whatever they may be? Where do you find the focus? | ||
