TheWolfeDen

I've done a lot of things under maybe three or four different names. Some of it more successful then others.

The username is a pun based off my pen name (pun name?), Marissa Wolfe. The pen name is a combination of random parts of my and my husband's names, two puzzle pieces that I decided to make fit together. I wanted something that was still "me", but separate enough from my everyday identity (aka my government name) that it would be viewed apart from previous projects and collaborations. I wanted some level of anonymity, or at least anonymity on my terms. I also happened to see wolves with some frequency around the time of a major turn in my life, so there's a level of personal symbolism there, too.

I picture TheWolfeDen like a cottage, a place tucked away in the forest like a shrouded Hobbit hole, a place that is only known to those invited or found by those curious and bold enough to knock on an unfamiliar door. Inside, there is a fire going, a small table for two, three if someone doesn't mind sitting on an upturned wooden crate, and a meal just about ready to be served. Stay as long as you like for as many stories as you'd like to hear. We can drink wine, coffee, tea, or water pulled from the well nearby.

When I had a website, insidethewolfeden was the domain, and I used pictures of the plants and simple, pretty things around my home to give the site that warm, cozy feel.
