Hi -- My name is Kristen and I added you as a friend so that I might be able to further enjoy your writing. I am not a writer, but an avid reader.
I used to be a teacher (4th grade) and really loved to teach writing. It was the hardest skill to teach because good writing is the end result of a long process of inspiration, planning, and revision. Children today want instant results. They have to work to be writers. I loved to teach writing because it taught students to focus their ideas and work hard towards an end result they can be proud of. I think this might be why I love fanfic so much. I have found so many talented people in the fandom and it encourages me to know that people still do write and are dedicated to the process of producing quality work. I know how hard it can be. I am very envious of excellent writing.
Ever since I moved to Alabama (from Miami Beach) and had a child (2 year old boy) I find myself at a loss for quality entertainment. Go figure. I find that fanfic is an excellent diversion from The Disney Channel and the cultural wasteland that is Alabama.
I am of legal age and am not a stalker. In fact generally I keep to myself and lurk quietly in the background. I will drop a comment if the writing so moves me.
So, that's me. Hope you'll friend back and I can continue to lose myself in your work.
