About

Hi, it’ me, I’m the tortured poet, it’s me. I’m Amanda Rose Adams, and I’m a fifty-year-old Swiftie. The title of my blog site is an homage, but the blog is about my adventures in reinvention.

I really do have a lot going on –

  • After 32 years, my husband and I are getting divorced. So I needed to ghost my ghostwriting job to get a divorcée job with insurance. The one I found is 120 miles from my house.
  • I tried for months to sell my house only to learn local builders are offering interest rates 5 points below market. I can’t compete. So now the tortured poet is living in her own apartment.
  • One of my four dogs died the day after my husband moved out. Another of the dogs is having expensive health issues.
  • Oh, and one of my human children is experiencing early stage heart and liver failure.
