I originally joined this site as That Sheldrake Woman but I am more comfortable in the "clothes" I wear everywhere else I write online. So here I am... AGAIN!! ;)

I have the heart of a scribbler, but I absolutely detest editing. Luckily, the man I co-write with, ColinLadd (who is also at this site), doesn't mind doing most of the dirty work.

We recently won a contest and our flash fiction submission won!! It was very exciting for both of us and will be published online in March. (Details to come.) We're hoping it will lead to bigger and better things.

I love wordswords and playing with them. I also have an affinity for the absurd and enjoy writing comedy. Though some might consider me "weird", I prefer to refer to myself as "quirky". It sounds more... sophisticated (or something).

Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know some of you as time goes on and I dip my quill in the various forums here. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the reads.

~Maid :heart:

Hi Maid of Marvels, nice to meet you.
(I originally wrote, "nice to meat you." Wonder what that means?)

Nicole Gestalt - would love to hear more about your project as it evolves. I find inspiration in the strangest places myself. This sounds like fun!

K1P1 - That wasn't a slip, it was an entire oil spill. Get back to your knitting! ;)

(Oddly, I'm finding the MOM reference much more disturbing than "meat". What does that say about me???)

Ol' Fashioned Girl - Your avatar put me in mind of one I used a while back. I found that if I used my "granny" av, people tended to avoid my online personna. It amused me to realize that people equate "avatar" with "person behind the avatar".

(Represses urge to sing... Ohhhhhh klah ho mahhhhhhh!) Someone pass the pretty blue tablets, please.

Gee... maybe that's why folks are afraid of me! I look like a mean ol' granny with a mallet!

Of course, just because I AM a mean ol' granny with a mallet...

Oh, go ahead and sing! Everyone else does! :D

*sniffs* And so it is!

Erm... I let you talk to me. I'd say that was payment enough. Okay, maybe not. *points to a pile of stories that require editing* That ought to do it. :)

Welcome, Colin! :heart:

I'll keep you informed although its a very on going project that i'm just doing when I find some spare time and also get an urge to paint/illustrate :)

Yes inspiration I find does come from the weirdest places, although I tend to find inspiration for my art pieces more then I do for the writing.

Welcome back Maid Marian. I mean, MOM. No, that's not right. I'm Mom and I'll confuse myself. Welcome back Made Marvelous. No, no, no.....

I'll be back and try again.
