Wow, so here we are, my own real web page and our first real blog. Where to start? I have been writing for years, I used to keep an active blog on Myspace. Does anybody remember Myspace? Shesh, I am old right. After that, I got a Live Journal, I admit no one ever read that but not because I wasn’t interesting. I barely ever posted. I always kept a journal growing up, too. My first “diary” I was eleven. I loved writing, would write stories and poetry as a kid.
We have started The Shade of Writing as a Shadow’s Lair family venture. The Shadow’s Lair Family is a family of two dads and two kids, not to unusual. We love to travel, and will post about our travels, everyday lives, fantasy writings, and just a general hodgepodge of things. We also have a goal to one day own a family farm and shop. We will use this blog to update our progress on this goal. For those of you who found this after following the Shadow’s Lair for years, thank you for your continued support. If this is your first time reading our writing, welcome and thank you. Feel free to follow us on Patreon.

Ah… Good old MySpace. Last year I mentioned it to one of my younger colleagues and he did not have a clue what I am talking about. Felt so old, haha
Have a good Monday!

I wasnt using any of these coz my dad at that time believed that internet and technology is a waste of time

Yeah when I was growing up I wasn’t allowed on the internet either. My parents thought it was to dangerous. That said most of these weren’t around until after I was 20.

I remember writing on MySpace too but I lost touch. Your family are goals! It’s so nice to see families like yours save time to spend on bondings and family adventures. 🙂

Aw thanks so much. I ended up deleting my Myspace but not before moving all my writings.

Hello ,
I saw your tweet about animals and thought I will check your website. I like it!
I love pets. I have two beautiful thai cats called Tammy(female) and Yommo(male). Yommo is 1 year older than Tommy. He acts like a bigger brother for her. 🙂
I have even created an Instagram account for them ( https://www.instagram.com/tayo_home/ ) and probably soon they will have more followers than me (kinda funny).
I have subscribed to your newsletter. 🙂
Keep up the good work on your blog.
Regards
Wiki
