In the beginning, there was an idea.

I've loved myths and folktales as long as I can remember. They were among the first material I read as a young child, and knowing them has enriched my sense of spirituality and made me feel like a part of something greater. Being a writer, I tell stories as well, but no matter what I write about, I always feel as though these stories, these ancient tales that were passed down from generation to generation, are more perfect than anything that has come from the mind of a writer in this day and age. So, recently, I began to toy with the idea of sharing these myths with readers all over the world. Only a few days before this blog was created, my mother and I were talking and she suggested I make a blog and gather together information that would otherwise remain scattered over literature and the Internet. Why not myths? Why not make a blog that tells, picks apart, and analyzes popular (and even not-so-popular) myths, stories and folktales from around the world?

Tumblr Test-Drive

I swore to myself that I'd never get a Tumblr account.

I created this blog (obviously) on Blogger, or "Blogspot," as I still refer to it. I have a handful of followers. I've been trying to gain more, but whenever I tell someone I have a blog, they automatically assume I have a Tumblr, and when I explain to them that I don't have a Tumblr, well...

"Oh, sure. Give me that URL. I'll check it out. I promise."

Lies.


I'd like to think that this blog has a reason for existing, and I feel like it doesn't if nobody is going to read it. So, in a last-ditch effort to gain followers, I'm going to be trying out Tumblr for a couple of weeks. If it doesn't work out, I'll be back on here. Even if it does work out, I'll probably still transfer my Tumblr posts to this blog. So, there ought not to be any monumental changes, unless I decide that I like Tumblr infinitely better than Blogspot. The only differences should be that I'll be on Tumblr as well as here and Facebook, and with any luck, I'll be posting a lot more frequently.
