The Nerd in me is coming out. Yes, I Like SteamPunk!






Hello Dawnettes! Welcome to the world of SteamPunk!!


I needed to discuss a subject that I wanted to know more information about. Especially with all that is happening in the world this week. 

STEAMPUNK! This is a world I think I could live in. A combination of Sci-Fi with an old world feel to it, at the same time with a futuristic overtone. Steampunk reminds me of Medieval times. Periods dating around 1500's. The Medieval Period has always been a time that I found most fascinating. Whether it be a television show or a novel, I've always been intrigued and researched what was going on historically.  This year, I'm planning on attending the Faire. I've even attended several Renaissance Faires in the past.

I visited Portland in 2016 for about a month before moving to Washington for a year. In that time frame, I discovered SteamPunk and wanted to attend an event to get a feel for it. However, I left before I had the chance.😪


Now that I'm back in California and I have an opportunity to see parts of the state I haven't visited before, I think I'm going to see if there is an event near where I live.


I love graphic novels and I would like to delve into or at the very least, explore different genres. I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal, and Horror. I'm lovingly adding on SteamPunk; you have to change it up every now and again.

I would love to get feedback on this subject from people who know more about it. Once this blog is posted, I will reach out via social media and see what happens.

I needed to remind myself of the definition of Steampunk. Here is what I found:

steam·punk

Dictionary result for steampunk

/ˈstēmˌpəNGk/

      "the essence of steampunk is homage to vintage fashion with a modern, sassy twist"


Thank goodness for Pinterest and Tumblr. These platforms have so much to view
as far as seeing images and connecting with others that share the same interest. Now all I need is to pick up a pair of goggles, a top hat, and a corset!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Be well,

D.

  1. I’m glad I’ve come across this; it’s always great to find new things. This genre sounds interesting to me and I may have already a few books in this classification without even realizing because I’m such a dweeb! I’ll have to check out your work; I love to read when I have the time. And believe me I like to give praise where it’s due. 😉
