An Introduction
Hi Steemit!
Allow me to introduce myself. The cliché "My name is..." feels a little awkward, but here goes nothing...
My name is Kaitlyn Anderson and I attend school in Massachusetts. I live on a farm with an eccentric but lovable family. I'm interested in joining the steemit community to learn and share my passions. My blog is going to be a smorgasbord of all my many interests, from my poetry, art, and opinions, to lucid dreaming and conspiracy theories. Basically just a big page of things I like. I love learning and hope to share my finds with my fellow steemers. Most importantly I hope to express my most authentic self here on steemit.
I have been writing and drawing for as long as I can remember. I have always been the girl whose schoolbooks are more full of doodles and poems than actual notes, and walls are full of taped up art. I remember even in preschool, I would spend my recess drawing obsessively and teaching my friends tutorials. During car rides, I either had my nose stuck in a book or my head caught up in my stories (all of which had unicorns back then). I never outgrew these habits, and to this day, my passion for creativity only grows.
These are some of our first doodles:
And here are some more recent sketchbook pages:
Today one of our hens hatched four new chicks into our ever growing family, and more are on the way. On days like this I can't be more grateful to live how we do, life would be so dull without our animals.
Here is mother hen with her four new babies.
Here is one of the chicks. Any name suggestions?
I'm excited to share my thoughts with you all

Welcome to Steemit! Love the drawings and the pictures of the new family of chicks! I hope to see you join the warm family of steemians. Cheers.

Welcome to steemit. I hope you will have a great time here :D
Welcome, I'm sure you'll fit in super nicely here on SteemIt. It also sounds like you have a ton of things to share with us! I look forward to seeing your post especially the post on conspiracy theories! I don't typically believe anything from them but I find them very interesting none the less.
Hi @kaitlyn.anderson i introduced you in one of my posts as well check it out if you can thanks.

Heyyyyy Kaitlyn I'm on steemit now love the intro post
Hello! Very nice to meet you. I am very happy to have another artsy person in my list! Looking forward to seeing all your "best of the moment" type posts.
If you lived at my house, your new chick's name would be Chicky, another would be Clucky and then Henny. You'd have to go read about my Molly dog to truly get the naming joke.
Nice to meet you too! I couldn't find your story about Molly but I really like your blog. Great content!
Did you notice I'm a little all over the place? I get a little excited about people who are willing to bring all their gem sides in and sparkle. They're always more fun!
Oh the Molly story, I'm sorry. It's actually named My day in 3 parts Part 3 in which everything goes sideways blue
Also, if you like the "you see, i see" style of writing that I use in some of my posts, you (and anyone else) are welcome to try it out. ... ohhh I have to go edit my last post and include that invite and link the very simple "how to"
Alright, I'm gone to do that. You can shoot me a message anytime on any of my current posts.
Enjoy have fun!
Welcome to Steemit!

Hi Kaitlyn, I am brand new to Steemit and just came across your post. I really am a bit reluctant to say this ... but that orange fluff on the top of the chick's head kinda reminds me of someone who gets a lot of press coverage these days ... :) ... but hey I won't go there, let's name the chick: Ginger Plum Muffin
Welcome to Steem @kaitlyn.anderson I have sent you a tip
Welcome aboard!
hello Kaitlyn, welcome to steemit! I'm intrigued about your mention of lucid dreaming, do have them often? This is a great community you joined, with plenty of helpful people and interest groups of anything you can think of. Hope you have a good time here and meet new friends. Good luck!
p.s. you should name your chicken fuzzy, much cooler name than what our new chick names will be.
Thank you! Ever since learning about lucid dreaming I was completely entranced by it. Unfortunately I've only had a few, but am working to have more! I love learning and sharing about the topic. I also love the name fuzzy. It suites him.
awesome, have a good time here I'm sure you'll fit in here great.
Welcome to Steemit! Looking forward to your next posts. I am a newcomer to Steemit community too, follow me @myprimetime
Welcome! Will do.
Thank you Kaitlyn!
Welcome to Steemit @kaitlyn.anderson! Great introduction post. Love that you live on a farm and look forward to seeing more posts about the farm life. Wonderful sketches. I really like the one with the girl surrounded by flowers. I think you should name the chick Rocky the Rooster from the movie Chicken Run. If it is a girl chick then Ginger Chicken!
Thank you! Hopefully I can post some more art soon. I love those names!
Welcome aboard! Amazing pictures!
Thanks!
Welcome, nice to meet you!
Welcome, Kaitlyn! Keep up the doodling and I look forward to more of your writing :) Following and upvoting. Cheers from Salt Lake City!
Thanks! I'm looking forward to post some more of my work too:)
Welcome lil lady!
those chicks are too cute. Welcome Kaitlyn. I am new here as well. I have only been here 10 days longer and love it. SOOO much better than Facebook. I feel like I am actually meeting new people rather than the same old people I see every day. Look forward to keeping up with your posts!
Thank you! Welcome as well! I already love this community better than my other social medias.
me too. Facebook and instagram actually make me feel bad/depressed. i have gotten off them all together
Welcome to Steemit! Hope you enjoy it here!! 😉👍😃
Great introduction! Welcome! I just joined yesterday, and am still figuring out my intro!
Thank you! Welcome as well!
Doodles and chickens.. Slice of life.. That is so lovely! :)
Looking forward to your posts! Have a great and blessed day @kaitlyn.anderson . Much love from the Philippines. ^_^
Thanks!
Super nice to meet you! Love your sketches. When I was 9 years old I wrote an article called Dreaming Your Future, where 9 year old me wrote about how I liked to draw and would become a famous artist over the course of the next 5 years. I encouraged other young women to think about making their passions work for them. I am not a famous artist, but I still remember how drawing made me feel peaceful and centered.
Thank you! I find art to be a great way to relax and express youself, I'm glad I have it in my life!
Welcome to steemit! :)
Welcome to SteemIt @kaitlyn.anderson ! glad to see you here!
Also, we started a new SteemIt Discord here everyone is welcome to join! it's a place to help Noobs and discuss issues. It will be the cleanest Discord there is so far!
Adorable chicks!
Kaitlyn! That was fun to read and I'm excited to see your conspiracy theory articles. I love that stuff and I am trying to be my most authentic self too. Starting soon. All I have written so far, at least to public, was my introduce myself post. I think it's nice like talking between friends. We can all use more of those.
Wow it's so late I need to get off. Time flies on Steemit. Have a lovely day.
Thank you! I'm am still wondering about what to do for my first real post as well, but so far am really enjoying meeting new friends on steemit!
