Greetings!

Name: Kirasha or JL
Age: 35+

About Me: I hate "about me" things. lol I never know what to write. I'm heading into what society would call middle age and I call "Holy Cow! I made it!" But, I neither look, nor act like it. I'm still an eclectic geek and nerd at heart and fly those banners proudly. I love all things papercrafting and mixed media art. I have a love affair with words, pens, and notebooks. My reputation at the office is one of pure organization, although you'd never know it to look at my house.

About My Journal: I am a casual journaler and commenter. I post when I have the time and inclination. Generally, if I don't feel I have something to add to a conversation other than "me too!", I won't comment. (The exception being hugs when needed.) My journal here is mostly for fannish things and personal things. Topics can everywhere from Marvel to planners to privacy/security to nature-based faiths to what my Second Life avatar is wearing this week.

What I Write: For a living, I write technical documentation and support content. For fun, I write fiction, both fan and original, mostly in some sub-genre of speculative fiction or romance or both.

What I Don't Write: Pregnancy stories, teenage main characters, a variety of hardcore kinks, PWP

What I Read: If it has words, I'll generally give it a shot. But, I tend to read what I write most often: science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, romance, various non-fiction works depending on what I'm researching at the moment. I do a lot of random/just because research. So, the topics really can run the gamut.

What I Don't Read: Badly out of character fanfiction or any of the subjects I don't write.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I do this as part of my job, actually, as well as occasionally beta-reading for fests.

I added you.

I'm 42, also have a love affair with words, pens, and notebooks. and am very organized despite the best efforts of my husband and cat. I write original fiction, mostly urban fantasy and fairy tales. I usually only talk about writing or books in public entries but that may change.

Add me back if you want!

I'm not too far behind you there. I'm 29, and I still think about what the Internet was like when I got my start writing (at 14... eeek!)

My room is strewn with notebooks, sketchbooks, and writing/art supplies by the dozen, as well beads, fabrics, sculpey, you name it, I'll try to create it. Once I've got a steady source of income I'm buying a wood burning kit.

Add?
