"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

I am a former writer of wrestling fan fiction, turned strictly Harry Potter, with the specific ship of Hermione/Draco. I have several works -in - progress and I'm horrible about updating. And just so you know, emailing me and badgering me about it, ain't gonna get me to do it any quicker.

I'm a stay-at-home wife with three dogs, two godchildren and an almost maniacal obsession with cleanliness. I like to read Nora Roberts, Diana Palmer, Betty Neels, Lewis Grizzard and Madeleine L'Engle. I don't like to mince words with people whom I have a problem with. On the other hand, I'm generally easy to get along with and if I critic your work, I will do so in a respectful manner. Despite the fact that I may or may not like it.

Let's see, what else? Oh yes. I have an incredibly HUGE ego monster that requires being fed on at least a weekly basis. That being said, I don't update as often as I would like, although I'm slowly overcoming the writer's block that had been settled in with my muses for the better part of a year and a half.

I have an Associate of Arts degree with emphasis on journalism. I was going to go on to a 4 year university to continue and get my teaching degree in music when I became deathly ill. I was unable to get my degree teaching, and now looking back on it, that probably was the best thing that could have happened. I love writing stories, creating my own characters or using someone else's (i.e. JKR) to play out a scene I have in my mind. I've been told on several occasions that I am what some would call a 'natural born leader', but I don't necessarily agree with that.

I love music and acting. Generally speaking, I love being the center of attention, even if it's just with a group of my closest friends. I go out of my way to make people smile and/or laugh and once I'm you're friend, I'd protect you no matter what. I'm fiercely loyal to my family and friends and if you say something bad about one of them, then that's a throwdown and the gloves are coming off. Rest assured, I will not hesitate to stomp a mudhole in someone's ass and walk it dry.

I'm an incredibly opinonated person and sometimes I have a tendancy to run off at the mouth. I'm willing to accept negative suggestions and UNconstructive criticism from anyone who's willing to accept a fat lip.

And that's about it. Anything else well...if I wanted you to know, I woulda put it on here. _

Have fun, enjoy the fics and try the veal! I'll be here all week!
