Hello out there!

[rachaellawrites]

Name:
Rachael

About Me:
I'm a queer, 30 year old Canadian author with a few short stories in small publications and some self-published books. I'm also a proud nerd and love D&D, though I haven't had much time to play in recent years.

About My Journal:
Still figuring it out! At the moment, I'm using my blog to crosspost/archive writing content from my Tumblr, and to hopefully find community with other writers. I used to be on LJ back when I was a teen, so there's also a nostalgic factor to coming back to a site like this.

What I Write:
Primarily contemporary fantasy, though I also have some idea floating around for higher fantasy and contemporary romance. I also do some nonfiction work, mostly in the form of essays and long form reviews.

What I Don't Write:
Thriller, horror, mystery, not likely to delve into sci-fi, not big on literary fiction.

What I Read:
Fantasy, lighter sci-fi, contemporary fiction, romance (especially contemporary romcoms), some non-fiction.

What I Don't Read:
Pretty much the same as what I don't write.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work:
I would love to one day, but unfortunately do not have the time at the moment.

That sounds awesome.

You might like reddit_refugees which has a lot of introductory materials and resources on DW use.

Definitely watch for snowflake_challenge in January, which is one of the biggest events in DW and especially fandom.

I do a lot of fantasy with occasional forays into other genres. It depends on what people prompt for. I run a Poetry Fishbowl on the first Tuesday of each month that is lots of fun.

I've done a lot of reviews and some essays. You might like meta_warehouse and marchmetamatterschallenge.

Feel free to drop by my blog and see if you like it.
