Yes, I like to read...and write. I have an image of CJ as a writer complete with long, gray sweater-jacket, endless coffee (or wine on such days), cigarette burning down to ashes in the tray because she's simply too consumed with tip-tapping on the keyboard trying to get the thought/idea out of her head into the screen.
Oh look, a smoke.
Perhaps that's me, or at least the image of me I would like to convey to any potential readers I may have (fingers crossed). On most days, my thoughts are consumed with my characters, thinking in my daily life...how would so and so react/say to this particular situation. As if they were real. Because they are real, to me at least.
As far as real life really does go, I have a wonderful hubby, adorable boyfriend, and moderately sized yet extremely supportive family...and a dog and two cats. The fish died.
