Hello explorers of the internet and
participants in the global online conversation! Welcome to Writers, Thrifters
and Drifters: your guide to leading a novel life!
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Collectively, we go by JEM Colborne, the “bookish babes” behind this
masterpiece. Writers, Thrifters and Drifters is a blog brought to you by three
Masters grads of English literature, and we want to put our degrees to work!
(since apparently graduate degrees in English are ranked 32nd among
worst graduate degrees to have—thanks Forbes)
The goal of this blog is to share our love
for literature—and the arts in general—and connect with you on the experience
of being young and starting out in the “real world” while trying to live with
your passion. For helpful hints and tools for surviving these exciting but
somewhat unstable and experimental years, we have included a Do-It-Yourself
(DIY) section dedicated to providing easy and affordable ideas to ornament your
novel life. For our fellow book-lovers, we have a reading list based on our
literary favourites, both recent and slightly more vintage items. We encourage
you to add to the list and suggest any good picks that we may have missed!
Like we said, the aim of our blog is to
share our experiences as adults struggling to stay employed in a declining job
market, optimistic despite the stress of life, and stimulated by our love of
literature and literature-related things… and we hope you will join our virtual
conversation and share your experiences, too. Follow us on Twitter and
Pinterest; tweet at us and pin things that interest you to our board! We can’t
wait to hear from you, as we begin our novel lives together.
Gotta book it for now; until next time.
JEM
