Hi, my name is Alexis. I was reading a blog post about finding a critique partner and found this website. It seems like a great way to me other writers and talk about books and writing...my two life loves.

I'm willing to talk about anything, even if I'm completely ignorant about the subject because I love learning about anything new.

I write contemporary romance...I don't have the patience to research for historical lol. Besides I like to write more about the people themselves than the setting.

I like to read ANYTHING...well except westerns but I don't like western movies either. So if you want some feedback let me know. I know how to be constructive without being mean.

Lastly, I'm just really friendly and open and I waste so much time on the internet it would be good to know that I'm doing something constructive. Hope to make some new friends!!

~~Alexis

Hello!

Hi Alexis, you've come to the right place. Nice, helpful people here.

We have something in common. I read almost anything—except westerns.
I'm not sure why, but it could be that when I was a kid, the only movies we ever went to were westerns.
That was all my dad would watch. Maybe I got my fill of westerns growing up.:D
Anyway, glad you're here.

I blame my double X chromosome...I just don't get the appeal lol. Just like my husband doesn't understand why I'm obsessed with Pretty Little Liars...a show for 15 year old girls. What can I say!
