Name/Nickname: Storm is my preferred online handle! They/Them please.
Types of speculative fiction you write: SciFi and Fantasy with a focus on character over hard science (hard scifi is genuinely a delight but I lack the background to make it authentic haha), Horror to some small degree, Urban Fantasy with a focus on humor mostly, though I tend to flit between things pretty easily.
How long have you been writing?: Since middle school (which has been a bit now lmao), with a story published in a youth writing magazine. Around 20 years give or take a few. I have a degree in English Language and Writing with a minor in Publication, but unfortunately was never able to find a career in the field.
What are your goals for joining the group? Any publishing plans?: Eventually I would like to be published. But because anxiety and stress are what they are, right now I'm hoping to just improve my skills and help others do the same!
Do you agree to follow all of the rules stated in the rules forum?: Yep, seems pretty common sense stuff.
How did you find us? Did another member refer you? Post on 'Helping Writers Become Authors' blog.
Tell us a little about yourself! Any non-writing interests or hobbies you'd care to share?: I am a new knitter (about half through my first scarf!), former MMO gamer and guild officer, amateur chef and parent to 4 black cats.
