Hi, I totally forgot I signed up for this a while ago 
Nice to meet you all!
Nickname: Jade
Types of speculative fiction you write: I write YA/MG in different genres: fantasy, magical realism, contemporary, etc. I love anything mythological/fairytale (and I mean the Hans Christian Anderson kind, not the fluffy happily-every-after Disney kind) or anything dark/twisted. Holly Black, Erin Bow, that kind of thing. Very little romance in what I write, I'm more into breaking hearts Truthfully, I just find other relationships more interesting to write, especially friendships and how they can be totally toxic/co-dependant. Siblings are fun too
How long have you been writing?: on and off since 2005
What are your goals for joining the group? Any publishing plans?: I have an agent, am just not published (yet). Most of the writing buddies I started out with stopped writing for various reasons, so I'm hoping to maybe find a few CP's. I do love editing and often get asked to do big-picture critiques (world building, character/structure arcs, etc), but since I'm dyslexic, never ask me for help with grammar! Haha, only slightly kidding. The dyslexia actually makes me really good at finding where things don't work because it makes my brain hurt But I really can't tell you if you need a comma or a semi-colon.
I also had a concussion over a year ago and the symptoms made writing impossible for longer than I had hoped. I'm only now slowly easing back into writing and would love to be kept accountable.
Do you agree to follow all of the rules stated in the rules forum?: of course! I'm a polite Canadian. Please and thank you and I'm sorryx20!
How did you find us? Did another member refer you?: I honestly don't remember but I suspect it was either through NaNoWriMo or through SiWC
Tell us a little about yourself! Any non-writing interests or hobbies you'd care to share?: I'm a bit of a jill-of-all-trades in that I like to completely change my job every few years. Marketing, animation, health care, plastics fabricator, home renos/flipping, website work, photoshopping/graphic design, etc. I like it all and I'm likely to keep it up as long as I need a pay check. I have a new(ish) rescue pup that I am training (read: trying to figure out how to deal with unwanted and obsessive herding instincts) She's adorable, but a complete handful.
Would you like to join the discord server as well? Maybe? It really depends on what time of day things are happening (i'm on PST) and how tired I am (dyslexia does not pair well with lack of sleep)
Nice to meet you all!
