My name is Hannah, and this blog is my attempt to create a space where my writer self can share thoughts and develop skills. It is my long term hope for this blog to have a sense of community, where I am not just casting sheets of paper into the void, but instead, to have some dialogue and interaction with fellow writers also looking for community.

In short, this is my introverted way of networking. Well, that is the idea.

A little behind the name, thoughtsrare. I received a small book from my God parents that has embossed the words, Thoughts Rich and Rare. In it, are collections of proverbs and encouraging sayings. It is a pretty book and the contents are intriguing and have given me consolation sometimes.

My aim through writing has always been to find a way to transcend idle thought and instead think and write on things that are of real importance–which I define as things that are relevant to humanity and is about good and beautiful things.

Yet, as I have been working on this blog, it has become inevitable for me to also write reviews about the books I am reading. As the popular maxim says, if you want to write, read, read, and read. And so, since I want to write, I read and from my reading I try to glean what beauty or interesting themes that I want to discuss here on this blog.

Thank you for joining me. I hope you, dear reader and/or fellow writer, we can have conversations and encourage each other in the craft 🙂
