A New Space

Hello, people of the internet! Welcome to my blog. My name is K J Nelson, I will be your hostess here. Let's get this show on the road!

A little bit about me. I am a 30 year old single Canadian woman. I've traveled and experienced all sorts of careers and social circles in my life. I am post-goth, reformed-raver, hard-rockin', music lover and supporter of underground scenes. I spent so many years up to my eyeballs in strange, that now the normal looks new and refreshing. I've been living in suburbia for three years now and I'm still adjusting. I long for concrete and night skies that never really get dark, just sort of orange.

I'm a student at Algonquin College in Ottawa in the Professional Writing program. I'm about to start my second and last year, and I'm incredibly excited. I'm hoping that by next spring I will have a full time job in the writing world. What that means exactly, well, I can't say yet. Stay tuned!

As far as blogging experience goes, I have kept up several personal and social blogs over the years. Most recently, I wrote about subcultures I've been involved in the writing program's webzine, Spine Online. That project was far more successful than I had hoped it would be and it's the main reason why I've decided to open up a new blog, right here.

So what I hope to bring you here is my unique views on cultures and media. I may investigate cultural sites and groups here that I am not familiar with and let you in on how those hi-jinks worked out. You can expect book reviews because I am always reading, and film reviews because I love them. I am also a fairly opinionated person, and I am prone to writing an opinion piece every now and then. I'll post those here. I'm not sure yet if I will be posting my own fiction. Some mysteries a girl's just got to keep.
