I just realised that I haven't done a proper intro for this account which I use to share mostly #JapaneseFolklore, #yokai and #JapaneseArt, especially #ukiyoe art. I also love East Asian #folklore, British folklore, Greek #mythology and anything #supernatural. I have a website with content I've shared over the years & I'm currently playing around with the idea of writing a beginner level book about #Japanese folklore. I also have a personal account @angela which I use to connect & chat.
@curiousordinary so happy to have found you here! I've followed you for years on the bird site and would have felt very sad to not see your posts anymore.
@musingoddity Thank you so much. I followed you back with my personal/writing account @angela. I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy the content I share, and glad you found me here too.
@curiousordinary @angela lovely, I've followed you back.
@curiousordinary @angela Totally up for these stories.
@curiousordinary @angela
Following on both
You should absolutely write that book!
@mythologyandhistory
Thank you, I really would like to although I find myself paralysed by self-doubt. Because I am not able to speak Japanese, I feel like an imposter so I spend my time trying to learn Japanese which leaves me no time to research or write.
I doubt Stephen Fry speaks Ancient Greek and yet, he wrote a book on Greek mythology.
I'm working on one too (Continental Germanic Mythology) and my Old Norse/Proto-Germanic is sporadic at best.
You know about something that a lot of people don't (and I've seen your bird site following!), You have what it takes - that is, passion, so give the people what they want
@mythologyandhistory
Thank you so much for your kind words. I honestly can't say just how much they mean to me. This is the encouragement I need and I really appreciate it. I guess I'd better start working on the book.
@curiousordinary @angela Curious how double accounts work -- are they connected to different emails?
@curiousordinary @angela I figured that, & I just set one up just for Warriors (NBA) fandom. I've found that is a special interest only some of my friends share & many would probably rather not be bothered with.
