How very awkward...I guess it's best to cut to the chase. My main interest here at Dreamwidth is discussions about writing and/or reading. I don't journal all that much myself, or like to reveal a lot of personal information outside of PMs, chat, or e-mail but I certainly don't mind when other people post whatever's on their mind. Unless someone posts with a very high frequency (once a day or more) I generally comment on most of my reading list entries. I'm a fan of many things, but the obsessive escapism of fandom quickly gets on my nerves. Been there, done that...I don't judge, but I'm not interested.

I've recently turned forty. I don't know how much that affects discussions about reading, writing, movie recs, and general silliness, but the majority of people here seem to be around 20 and I don't want to lie by omission. Obviously I won't friend underaged people, but I welcome friends of any age over eighteen.

I don't view this as an application process of any sort. It's the internet. A three sentence comment won't tell me a whole lot about you, just like you really don't know anything about me. If you'd like to subscribe/give access please feel free and I'll happily return the gesture.

I'm not quite a writer. :) When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a writer. As I started to grow up, I started to doubt my writing abilities - that I wasn't creative, that I wasn't talented.

I'm slowly starting to realise that it's okay to not be an award winning novelist. I can work on developing the skills that I do have and enjoy the process, rather than stressing that I'm not good enough.

As long as I'm not inflicting too much awful writing on to the world, it's not going to hurt anyone ;)
