Not a newbie writer, but def. a newbie cooler dweller

This is where I say "hey" instead of just butting in. So, "hey".

As the topic says, I'm not a newbie writer (I've been writing since forever and publishing since April 2006) but I've never bothered to register for an AW account before now. After I found myself browsing the AW forum a few times a day over the last month, I figured I should...not go for it, but e-mail a friend for the scoop. (Thank you jennontheisland)

I'm actively writing (shopping a full-length paranormal / uf romance to agents, waiting on word from my editor about a recent submission, all that good stuff) and in the market to expand my "networking with other writers" horizons.

I write short, novella-length and more recently novel-length fiction in between gestating my first child (currently, the most exhausting WIP on my plate). Yesterday my husband and I had Chinese for lunch and the flimsy paper "Chinese Zodiac" placemat described me (a Sheep) as preferring anonymity. I realized the Sheep description was accurate so for the moment, I'm going anonymous.

Um, also, "There is no Peter, there is only Zuul" is my favorite media quote EVAR.

Pre-emptive nice to meet you.

Are you the key master?

Welcome to the Cooler!

Would it be inappropriate to ask whether you WANT me to be the key master? Because... I could be...

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello and welcome! When are you due? I am gestating as well so I feel your pain (and desire for a daily 3 hour nap).

December 17. My desire for a daily 3 hour nap sometimes results in Bad Things, like me being awake and e-mailing my editor at 2 a.m. (I really need to stop that.)

You?


(And a big Thank You to the remainder of the welcomes... I like my popcorn with butter and salt sometimes, and plain w/ tabasco sauce others.)
