Hi, I’m Jitsie!
What kind of name is Jitsie? It’s a nickname a co-worker started calling me years and years ago, and it spread like peanut butter on bread, slowly but surely, and stuck. And I like it.
It stems from my last name, Jitsawat.

Support My Newly Re-founded Writing Journey
I just recently realized that I wanted to return to writing. A brief explanation of the gap in my writing timeline goes like this:
👧🏻 Childhood/Grade School: Wrote consistently in diaries and journals, wrote short fiction and poetry, won contests
📔 High School: Wrote for newspaper and yearbook, wrote obsessively in diaries and journals, wrote poetry, won contests and awards
🎥 College: Found out I couldn’t double major in journalism and film, so I had to choose one. I chose film. Wrote somewhat consistently in diaries and journals, myspace posts and livejournals before Facebook, Twitter and Instagram took over everything and I forgot to write posts.
🤷🏻♀️ Post College: Got married, got promoted at work, had kids, decided to be a stay at home mom, stumbled and fell onto my face with anxiety and post partum depression, over volunteered at my kids’ schools to compensate for the fact that I generate no income and to project outward proof to no one in particular, “Hey! Look! I do stuff!” even though I was already doing too much, then my therapist said, “Stop, you’re doing too much,” so I stopped and was like, “Now what?”
Little to No Writing.
👉🏼 Now: I’m writing a memoir, The Crush Chronicles, and I can already tell it will be the first memoir of many. Even if I’m the only one that ends up reading it, but that’s why you’re here!
