Hello All!
My name is Yolanda and I write military, space opera, sci-fi with a political thriller chaser. I am working on three trilogies within the same 'universe'. I have a co-author, who for now, must remain anonymous to protect their identity.
I started writing in high school over a thousand years ago. However, as with a lot of teens, it took me awhile to figure out my voice and style. Now, more than 30 years later, I know the types of worlds, ships, political intrigues, and alien species that I want to create.
And I have a blast doing it.
My goals for joining this group are to:
I plan to self-publish my novels. In today's traditional publishing climate, new and unknown authors have to submit a fully polished manuscript just to be considered for a contract. If I'm going to kick out that much money for content editing, line editing, etc...then I may as well call the shots through the whole process.
I found the forum a few months back, but honestly can't remember how I found it. I'm just glad that I did.
As for personal info, I've been married almost 26 years, have four sweet, funny, budgies, and am a fan of Da Bears (Chicago Bears football team)! I knit, read, and game on Xbox and mobile games for kicks and giggles.
I would definitely love to hang out on Discord. I'm on the WriteHive, Reedsy, Campfire Technology, chanels and a few others for fun.
I truly hope I'm accepted here. I like being a part of an active critique group which is filled with creatives, who like me, want to grow as writers and help others along the way.
