Hiya All,

Thanks for having me here. I'm Julia Blackwater (well no I'm not but it's my pen name, my real name is Juliet) a 39 year old mother of 2 sons (19 and 17) from the Netherlands. There are a great many things I love (besides my number one love my kids!) and that interest me so picking a few isn't easy, but I'll give it a try anyway; friendship, music, science, reading, drawing/painting/graphic design, travelling and animals. I have two long term partners (I'm poly amorous), both men are good friends, but live in different places which makes me travel back and forth between them. I also make a habit of visiting my friends in the UK a lot, so I'm always traveling really. It's a lifestyle I don't mind and that absolutely fits me. When I stay too long in one place I get itchy and it's time to move on again.

Until last November I had never written a book before, then I found out about NaNoWriMo. The experience was overwhelming, but in a good way. I found out I love writing and that I want to keep on doing it.

I'm still in the process of editing the novel I wrote. It's called "Still time Stork"

Next to the editing I've also started a new outline for a fantasy book. I've purchased both Aeon Timeline and Scrivener (that winner discount really came in handy :) ) so I'd have more proper tools to work with. Also I figured I should join an online forum of some sorts. After asking around for recommendations this place was mentioned a lot, so here I am. Once again thanks for having me and I hope that even though I'm a newbie I can still contribute something useful to this community.

Hi! Welcome to the forums :)

I'd glad that NaNoWriMo helped you to discover the joys of writing. Best of luck with the editing and polishing, and of course the new and burning ideas for the next ones.
