I'm Rachel. I enjoy reading fanfic, most particularly Twilight fanfic. My husband makes fun of me for this, but I don't care, because good Twilight fanfic is happiness to me. However, no matter how good your plot may be, I won't read it unless you have pretty decent grammar skills. I majored in English, and I cannot abide poor grammar. Use your spell check, people!

So, anyway, I don't write fanfic, but I do write fiction. Until recently, though, I haven't written anything in a long time, as my muse is a fickle little minx and goes on hiatus for long periods of time. I'm currently in the process of reworking a pretty dark short story I wrote for a creative writing class in college. I don't know how long it's going to be, and I don't care, because I'm writing it for me. It takes a lot out of me, though, so in order to maintain my sanity, I'm balancing it with another story of some sugary-spun sweetness.

Some other things about me, in case you care: I have a two year old son, I'm pursuing certification to become a birth doula through DONA International, I work with victims of domestic violence, I'm a Type I diabetic, and I cannot live without Diet Coke.

Thanks to everyone who shares their wonderful stories with us. :)
