About Me

Hey everyone! This was the first page I did for this blog, on 17 October 2017.

It’s currently, exactly five years later, at 3:02 AM on 17 October, 2023. I think we’re due an updated ‘about me’ page. Things change, after all.

So I’m just going to make a few edits. I don’t want to erase whatever sixteen year old me wrote, that still was me, it’s only fair.

Well here’s a few things you should know about me-

  • I’m from India and (currently, not exactly) proud of it.
  • My pseudonym for this blog is SLTD, which stands for Simon Lewis, a book character from The Mortal Instruments. No one has referred to me as Simon in two-ish years, and I miss it. This alter ego thing I had going should have told me a lot about incoming gender crises.
  • I go by the pronouns she/her. HA LOL. (any pronouns work, whatever you perceive me as, go for it.)
  • I like all colours but my favourite is and always has been purple. I don’t know why that’s relevant on a writing blog, but if y’all want to check out my art account, where you can actually see me use all the colours I like, including purple, it’s @doriang_ay on Instagram. Yes, I love Oscar Wilde, who’s surprised.
  • I’m an introverted ambivert (if that makes any sense). I think the lack of constant socialising that came with school and college has now led me towards extroverted ambivertism(?). My MBTI is ENFJ, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Well, I think that’s pretty much the important characteristics people usually know about me. If you ever have any questions (not including inappropriate or too personal ones) please don’t feel shy to ask.

No I’ve got some more facts I think, let’s see:

  • I’ve got a degree in Mass Communication, having graduated last year.
  • I’m open to all freelance creative opportunities, including content writing and designing, copywriting etc.
  • I have no labels for my gender or sexuality, not that it’s any of your business. And I do wish to be addressed as Simon or SLTD on here. I know many people who reach here know me in real life, but for the sake of fake internet anonymity, I plead you don’t say my real name. Thank you.
  • My writing endeavours have become quite erratic. I write still, just more for money and employment, and a lot lesser for myself. It sucks, I’m well aware. It just is, unfortunately.
  • All the validation is appreciated, I’m a sucker for praise I can see and hear. I need to know your opinions on the things I create for others to see. So, go through some of my works, comment your opinions, tell me what you think!

Enjoy your stay here.

Bye Xx

SLTD.
