...or, you know, just offer greetings, welcomes, or mini-muffin sampler baskets... whatever's good for you.

And now for more than you ever wanted to know about moi...

I'm a dirt poor writer tooling around the internet on 56k and living in a garage. To be fair, it's a very nice garage; with a bathroom and kitchen and upstairs bedroom... but it's still a garage.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how long I've been writing. Over the years, actress, astronaut, and first female president have fallen by that horrible maturity wayside, but writing has remained a constant in my life. Simplified version: must/can/do write.

A few months ago, I was forced to strike it out on my own. ("own" meaning alone, meaning by myself if we're not discriminating between my pets and my boyfriend - and I don't.) I packed up my bags and put a state between myself and an abusive home life... In retrospect, I may have owned too many books to just pick up and leave - but, hindsight is better than foresight. wait. what? 20/20... So, between trying to make a living doing menial work and attempting to further my education, I write.

I happened upon this board while Google’ing for critique partners. I have my eye on that beta/mentor board, and will probably skulk on down there after posting here.

Your intro was kickass.

Just sayin'.

Hi, btw. I'm Hillary. Know what's odd? I registered here a while back, and there were like ninety kajillion members, but the name "Hillary" was still available. Apparently, I'm not creative. But I like that you just have a name - it always makes me feel less alone.

Anyway, glad to see you here at the cooler. Grab a cup and drink deeply of our sweet, sweet nectar.

Dear God, that sounded creepy...

I'll leave now.

Lol, I think Hillary is a fine user name. I did consider using my real name as a screen name, but in the end I just went with one of the many pun names I toss around like candy... not that people often toss around candy; I just couldn't think of a good simile to stick there.
