Hey there! Thanks for visiting my blog. If you came here from my site on blogger/blogspot, know that the content here is the same and I had to migrate here in the need of a cleaner format. I plan on icluding more categories on this new platform, but intend on sticking to a literary niche.
Who am I?
On the blogosphere, I like to sign off as ‘Jane’ but if you have been around for long, you probably know my real name. I know it’s a poor attempt at maintaining a pseudonym, however I would still like to write under said identity.
For a living, I work in a publishing house, but my ultimate aim in life is to write stuff that appears as if they were taken off the internet. I would like to go back to the vintage era. The wrong kind of jeans irritates me. And umm, I draw; I draw analogies.
In my free time I like to read, bake, click photos, or watch a good TV series. I guess that’s all for now. Maybe with time, you will get a better insight into my likings and interests.
The Blog
Here you’ll find personal experiences, thoughts on random humans and snippets of my weird imagination in the form of stories, poems, letters and quotes. You can also expect travelogues, book reviews and maybe some more literature-oriented stuff!
The Story
Back in 2014, I would often catch myself feeling worthless and looking at other social media feeds where I had nothing to offer. On 17th September of the same year, I decided to put a stop to those negative thoughts and do something constructive for once – write a blog. Choosing a name for a blog was of course a struggle. Luckily, I didn’t have to think much as I knew what I wanted. My goal was to stick to a literary term and something easy to remember. My choices included Diary of a Damsel, Scarlett’s Letters etc. but in the end I settled for Plain Jane, that basically means an average girl. I had first heard of this term in the summer of 2008 while playing some online quizzes to kill time. That particular one was titled ‘Which literary figure are you?’ I have stuck with this name ever since and don’t intend on changing it since I use this handle almost everywhere!
