Hey there!

rachelle elisabeth · May 11, 2012

Hey guys, I'm Rachelle. I've been lurking for a bit and it looks like this is the most active, helpful writing forums on the web! So excited to be a part of the community.

I write a lot of short stories and poetry, but I'm really looking to expand my writing into other genres.

I look forward to meeting all of you!

I have a slight obsession with giraffes. Be forewarned.

Hi Rachelle Elisabeth,

It's always good to see someone ready to become more active and to emerge from lurker mode. I look forward to growing with you as a writer in this forum. Your quote's very interesting about tracing the shape of the lips... did you write that?
