About me

 And why did I decide that I love / know how to write?

Where did it come from and how did it start?

As long as I remember myself at school, I hated writing essays. But I wrote them regularly and even got good grades.

Back then everything was simple there: you read the novel, you get the topic of the essay, the teacher discusses the plan. You don't even have to have your own opinion. The Ministry of Education, through teachers, has already drawn up a “correct” opinion. Your task is just to write everything down.

So I wrote. It was boring, but necessary.

It was much more interesting to write letters, you know, the real ones by hand and in an envelope.

It seems I did it perfectly. A couple of years ago, a girl found me on the Russian social media Odnoklassniki claiming that we were friends. I couldn't remember her face. And then she said that we were pen pals when we were 13 years old. Unfortunately, I don't remember that. But she says she still keeps my letters (why?).

After moving to the United States, I started writing long letters again. I wanted to tell everybody about my new life. The recipients of the letters praised my writing style, and so the idea of blogging appeared.

The first few posts were written easily. Probably the thoughts have matured in my head a long time ago.

Now everything is more complicated. What to write? For whom? And why?

Today I was sorting through documents in the file-cabinet and found a notebook with notes of various courses that I took to write better. Funny, I really tried to improve my writing.

Nevertheless, there should be a blog.

The working title is “raining of blogs and dogs” in the hope that posts will be frequent.

I will write about everything that will impress and make me think, about my hometown Tomsk, Siberia and Russia. I will try to post recipes with and without videos. I will transfer some posts from the blog Lianka in the US.com. I will post pictures of my knitting and creativity, and of course pictures of Crackle.

See you later!

P.S. I have an account on Pinterest and Instagram.
