Hi! I’m Jennifer Gilbert. Sometimes I wear disguises and meet unicorns from the Internet in order to engage in anonymous, torrid love affairs with them. My God, it feels so good to finally say that out loud.

I edit for a living. I frequently eschew pants. I think portmanteaus are sexy. If you didn’t know what “portmanteau” meant but you just looked it up, I think that YOU are sexy. I swear a lot. I read a lot of poetry. I never leave the house without my Kindle. I’m a retired rollergirl who still loves the sport. I don’t eat meat. I try to live well. I’m still figuring out exactly what that means. Sometimes it helps me to think out loud. I think that’s probably why I’m here.

Be warned, though: if this blog were a band, it would be called Passion Sledgehammer, and its songs would never be short enough for the radio. That said, I like to think that its guitar solos would be pretty sweet.
