Hi there! I'm an aspiring novelist, I'm currently writing a romance, and I have a paranormal novel on the backburner I'd like to someday stop researching and start writing.
I wanted to be an author from the time I was seven, but my mom talked me into picking a more 'stable' career. HA. It didn't stop me from writing my own stories as well as a Star Wars fic with my friend through middle school. (As as adult, I've just discovered how to use an outline and finally finished a story.)
I've never beta read for anyone, but I'd be happy to try it. I read very fast.

I work in healthcare, I have a background in sociology and history, and I have a TON of hobbies. If you need help writing characters who sing, knit, sew, or make jewelry, I'm well-versed in all these things. Hence the name.

You can call me Jane. :)

Hiya, Jane. Welcome to AW! Lots of us once wrote fan fiction of various kinds, so you're among your own people here.

At last, huh?

Maryn, vacuuming the welcome mat because nobody else does

:welcome:, Jane.

So I've had the poem wrong all these years? It should go more like:

Jack and Jane went up the lane
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack slipped down and broke his crown,
And Jane said, "Drink he hadn't oughter."

Sorry. :e2paperba
