Wow, you guys are quick!
I'm in Sudbury, Ontario. 33. My interest is sci-fi and fantasy (a touch of horror, too). I've had a messy love affair with my writing all my life, and after a wretched break up that lasted a couple of years, we've gotten back together.
I found the link to this place from the NaNoWriMo boards and I can thank NaNoWriMo for getting my arse in gear. I reached the 50,000 words in the month, but didn't finish the novel until this morning. No kidding. I've just finished printing out the first novel-length draft I have ever completed. I'm the kind of writer that started pieces but never finished. No longer.
I did manage to get a few things published in the local paper the year following journalism, but I ended up in this weird marketing position and stopped writing non-fiction. Also wrote and edited our local writers guild newsletter for a year. That was ... right before the break up.
My current goals are to edit this finished draft to something (I hope) will be publishable, start the next novel, and experiment with short stories.
