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.
