Hello! I'm Trinity and I am a graphic design major at Columbia College Chicago. I usually spend my free time gaming or doing 3D art! (all the 3D imagery here is mines!) I love cats, the color blue, and spending time with the people closest to me.

What is Heartmoor?

Heartmoor is a word I found a couple of years ago on The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. It means

"The primal longing for a home village to return to, a place that no longer exists, if it ever did; the fantasy of finding your way back home before nightfall, hustling to bring in the cattle before the rains come; picturing a cluster of lanterns glowing on the edge of a tangled wood, hearing the rattle and hiss of meals cooking over a communal fire, finding your place in a crowded longhouse made of clay-packed thatch, where you’d sit and listen to the voices of four generations layered into a canon, telling stories of a time when people could still melt into a collective personality and weren’t just floating around alone."

This really spoke to me at the time and motivated me to make my previous website project themed after it. Here's the link to that one. This was for another website development class but I think the idea of a safe space for writers (creatives in general really) is such a good idea. Heartmoor is supposed to be that space, for writers of all levels to flock together and make each other stronger. It's not an idea I'm directly pursuing, but it would be pretty cool to see something like that one day.
