I'm a 40-something woman, engaged, no kids, living with my fiancé and two cats. I write, sing, cook, draw, paint, sew a little, and have been known to join clubs, do volunteer work, and organize events. I enjoy watching sports, reading, writing (primarily science fiction and opinion pieces), am a passionate beer connoisseur and home-brewer, and I love animals.
Career-wise, I've done a lot of different things but I'd really like to earn a good living writing or doing something writing-related (copy editing, proofreading, background research, desktop publishing, etc.) I've some experience in all of the above and am currently trying to establish myself in business, offering those services on a freelance basis.
I run an online forum for open discussion on just about every subject imaginable, called TalkFreedom. We have discussion threads there on everything from movies, music and books to current events, politics and religion... to recipes and jokes. Feel free to drop by.
