Post: Greetings from Maya-bigail Township

Good Morning!

Hello world! Hello hell!

I’ve just launched a website, and frankly I am not quite sure what to do with it.

What did I really intend for this website to be going in? I guess that’s the first thing that I should write about.

Hello! I’m Maya. I like to create, even if I am bad at it. This website should serve as a home and as a center for all my creative work. A hub to prevent things from getting to disparate and to prevent myself from having to use services I don’t like or trust, such as DeviantArt And when I do use such a service, I will crosspost here as well. For example, if I were to write a story on Ao3, I would also post said story here, then link to the Ao3 page.

As suggested by my inclusion on the front page of my jobs, this website serves a professional side as well. Even if the geocities-like theme gives the impression otherwise.

Maya’s work

Whether this is a diary or a resume is up to you. In addtion to being a truck stop cashier, I am also a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Motion Picture Technicians, Artists, and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories, and Canada, or IATSE. Why it isn’t called IATSEMPTAACUSTC is nobody’s business but theirs.

Let me clarify though that I am NOT a sworn in, card carying member of the Union at the time of writing. I am, however, a represented worker. Meaning that I am on their on-call list and can be dispatched to jobs at any time.

So, when I get a gig, I’ll write about it here. That’s one of the main purposes of this webiste.

What else?

Well, I like several other creative pursuits as well. I am an artist who likes to suffer in as many ways as possible. But for now, I’m focusing on two major mediums: drawing and writing

I am, for lack of a better term, “not great” at drawing. So this is yet another way this website serves as both a journal and as a resume. Maybe if I can actually make a habit out of drawing and posting on a regular basis, I’ll start to see some, some improvement.

I also write, this is something I’m a little better at. See, I have a few literacy issues, as you’ll see in my writing. But my streams of consciousness are cryptic and vast. Not vast because I’m smart they’re actually full of a lot of empty space.

How I make up for this is by having a genuinely interesting life.

Not to brag, literally, because I would not wish my life on my worst enemy.
Actually, this website may just end up cataloging my villain arc, if I’m not careful in the coming months.

But what I am is a transgender/nonbinary woman who is currently in the process of voluntarilly estragning herself from her non-accepting family. I also might literally have epilepsy so I can’t drive while also living in a car dependent city, and working a job next town over in an EVEN MORE car dependent city. AND having to travel to Seattle for gigs. Oh this will be fun.

I may not be normal. But I am Maya. I hope you find my story interesting.
