Hi there! I'm Rebecca, and I'm all new to this forum. I'm really excited to get involved and interact with other writers - community is something crucial I long for in this hectic passion. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, primarily fantasy fiction, dabbling in both YA and Adult genres. My favorite aspects of fiction are character development and world building, but plotting makes me want to smack my head against the desk sometimes.

In my day job I'm an English teacher (I never escaped books, even when I tried). If I'm not reading, writing, or prepping lessons, I love being creative in the kitchen. I cook and bake far too frequently and as hard as I try to keep it clean, my stove is always a mess. Luckily the floor is cleaned up by my Siberian Husky and three cats. They're a great cleaning crew :)

My favorite color is: purple? Blue? Definitely one of those two.
Ice cream: Coffee with chocolate chips
Time of day: Twilight, when the sky fades in every color of blue.
Music: literally anything. If I had to pick an artist, it would be Dermot Kennedy.

Anyways. I'm really excited to meet you all!

Looking forward to seeing you around.

My favourite colour is violet, and then blue, and then a sort of dusky, aged pink.

We call that time of day Magic Hour, when it seems like the air itself is tinted various shades of blue. Never mind that it rarely lasts more than 20 minutes.

A pleasure to have you join us, Rebecca. I look forward to seeing you around, although obviously I won't be at any poetry board. My brain doesn't quite work that way.

Dermot Kennedy! My lord: I've recently gotten into him and absolutely love the line: 'I'm in love with how your soul's a mix of chaos and art'. Perfect!

Welcome to the forum, Rebecca! And keep safe during those lessons!!
