Who is Tiny?

She's me, and I'm her. 

Tiny is the nickname I go by at The Writers' Block. I first joined that platform hoping to blog about my food journey and recipes. I lived in a tiny, little house with a tiny, little kitchen. The nickname Tinypaleokitchen was easily chosen. 

When I first joined the Fiction Workshop, which would later turn into The Writers' Block, I went by that name, but I was quickly shortened to Tiny.

Despite the fact that I'm not that tiny at all, the name rather grew on me and so–even though I now rarely write about food–I'm stuck with the name Tinypaleokitchen. 

Might as well own it, right? I ended up using it in the title of my non-fiction series with writing tips: TinyTeaches. The audioversions of my stories, that I have just started to record, are called TinyReads.

A friend of mine and a fellow mod at The Writers' Block, Shane or @swelker101, accidentally renamed me during his radio show when he had to write my name down in a list with some others. While reading off the list, he couldn't read his own handwriting and spoke the immortal words, "Wait... What... Who is Ting?"

I thought it was hilarious, and have every intention of never letting him forget it. That's why, when looking for me in the crowded halls of The Writers' Block, you'll find me as either Ting or Tiny.

See you soon!

A Place to Call My Own

My name is Jasmine.

I live a blessed life in a rural part of Belgium, along with my soon-to-be husband David, and our four dogs, Henna, Liam, Kate and Lucie.

David is in the military, which means that he spends a lot of time away from home, leaving me behind with the dogs.

As lovely as they are, they're not the best conversationalists. That's why I leave a lot of words behind on Steemit, a blockchain-based social media/blogging platform.

Ever since I was a child, I've had a profound love for everything and anything involving the written word. That, combined with an inborn need to create, makes writing the perfect outlet for me. It's not my only outlet though.

Thoughts tumble through my head in a sort of constant chaos, and I need to release them from time to time. That may take the form of a story, a non-fiction article, a poem, an opinionated ramble, a painting or a sketch... It could be anything, really.

My Steem page resembles the stream of radom thought and images as they fall out of my brain. I hope this page will become the diary in which I organise those thoughts and images.

I'll be sharing the links to my writing and artwork, as well as random bits of life here.

Feel free to visit any time. I look forward to it.

*Hugs*

Jasmine
