Hi everyone! 🙂

I’ve been following SE since its genesis, but recently decided to finally join this wonderful forum due to the email from @daeus-lamb about joining a guild. I’m definitely interested in joining one to hold me more accountable on my writing progress. 🙂

Here are some facts about me.

I go by PursueWisdom here, so you know how to call for me if you wish. I chose it because it reminds me of my focus here, and also that Wisdom comes from the Lord.

I’m a…
INTJ. Redeemed Daughter of the Emperor Over the Sea (If you’ve read Narnia, you know who I mean.) Fighter for Liberty. Rebel for Justice. History Buff. Truth Seeker. Team Captain America. Narnian. 221B Ally. Preferred Weapons of Choice: Dual Swords and a Pen. I’m a dedicated saboteur for The Rightful King while in enemy-occupied territory. And I like to devour books & films that offer profound wisdom or instigate interesting ideas, or are just plain fun.

Authors: C.S. Lewis (Till We Have Faces), Anne Elisabeth Stengl (Dragonwitch), Tolkien (So far I’ve read only his “On Fairy Stories” – it’s amazing), Dostoevsky (Crime & Punishment), Orson Scott Card (Entire Ender and Ender’s Shadow Sagas), & Jane Austen

Movies: Marvel, LoTR, Narniad, Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Inception (I like most of Christopher Nolan’s films), Blade Runner 2049, Minority Report, HBO’s John Adams (The one BEST series I’ve come across about the American War for Independence time period), Les Miserables (2012 Musical – I watched it three times within one week), Captain Blood (If you are into early 1900s B&W, I like Errol Flynn), BBC’s Sherlock (“Dust is eloquent”). I can’t recall the others – feel free to bring any up.

Music: Lauren Daigle – (who doesn’t like her?), Colton Dixon, Most of Top CCM (I listen to KLOVE), Enya, Moya Brennan, Audomachine, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Canon in D

Quotes:

“Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 15:33, NIV

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” ~ James 1.5

“Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful than ten rulers in a city.” ~ Ecclesiastes 7:19

“Don’t bother much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them: when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behaviour. ” ~C.S. Lewis, in a letter to Miss Sonia Graham

“You have never talked to a mere mortal.” ~ Lewis in The Weight of Glory

“There are times when the world is rearranging itself, and at times like that, the right words can change the world.”  ~ Orson Scott Card

 

Random fact: I struggle with pride, procrastination, and Agape.

 

Anyway, I can’t wait to participate more in this forum and get to know you all! If you have any questions/comments regarding my mini-bio (which I’m sure is quite incomplete), please do share! 🙂
