Who are you? 49yo pagan queer dyke, cat mama, writer/creatrix, multishipping fool who's fluffy, wacky, honest, loyal, empathic... Living in the greater Puget Sound area and wholly dedicated to the #MillsWomen, particularly Regina Mills. I write fiction, fanfiction, nonfiction, poetry, whatever strikes my and the muses' fancy. I also dabble in other forms of creativity, including crochet, watercolor, divination, and Zentangle, among others...

What are your fave books? So many, but some of my top faves are The Fall of Atlantis by Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Wicked Years Series by Gregory Maguire, The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B White, and The Betrayal by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear.

Have you ever done NaNo before? I've done every NaNo since 2002 and every single session of CampNaNo since they started holding them in 2011. Haven't always officially won, but any words written is a win in my book.

What's your project looking like? What kind of support do you want/need? This year, I'm planning on working on my OutlawQueen Advent Calendar project, which will be some combination of fiction, poetry, and fanmix, maybe a little Zentangle-inspired art thrown in for flair. Sill trying to decide what my basic plot will be and which of my various verses it will come from, but I'm basically a plantser when it comes to the plotter vs. pantser debate, so...

As for support? I'm really not sure? This is the first year in over a decade where I've had a job during NaNo, so it's going to be really weird to have to structure when I write around my job. Probably just some encouragement, I guess?

Anything else you wanna share! Um... Not off the top of my head? I'm pretty much an open book, so feel free to ask. If it's something I'm not comfortable answering, I'll say so.
