Check in: day 14

[lilly_c]

Hi everyone, lilly_c with you for check ins this week. How is the day treating you?
I'm getting some editing on chapter 10 done today but I need a break from it soon because Karen and Matt are being a wee bit stubborn just now.

Discussion topic: introduce yourself. Because we have new members I thought it'd be good to share a little about ourselves, of course only share what you're comfortable with.

I'm Cat and these days Scotland is home, it has been since 2009. I work two jobs, one is at a care home for the elderly and one is at the local football ground on match days. I'm also studying joint honours Psychology and Sociology at Aberdeen Uni and I want to be a Forensic Psychologist once I have all of my qualifications. Unplanned days out in Glasgow are my favourites. There is more I could say here but won't.

I'm The RCK. I'm forty-five and the mother of one child, a daughter. I live in the U.S., in Michigan. I'm unemployed due to disability. I've been writing fic for about twelve years.

I'm trying to get in the writing mood by editing, which usually helps me get back on track after I've allowed Life to distract me for too long. I'm planning on planning, as well, if nothing else -- but hopefully some better progress will be made!

I go by Lin, and I live and work in Chicago (except when I'm taking a break from the big city in Wisconsin). I'm in the somewhat-over-fifty age bracket, with a hubby and a grown son. My training is in library science (I love research!!) but my current work involves teaching English as a second language.

Hi y'all! I know I'm not a super-new follower but I hope it's okay if I introduce myself anyway?

Anyway I go by Jaq (pronounced like Jack). I'm, hmm. I'm multifannish, I'll ship just about anything, I participate in fandoms mostly by reading fic and squeeing a lot at gifsets on Tumblr. I do also sometimes write fic, which I have been doing ever since my very first fic in about the fourth grade in which my stepsister and I went adventuring in an epic crossover of a lot of video games and children's television worlds. My writing style hasn't actually evolved since then - I basically write things that I like - which is why I write so infrequently. I'd like to write more though, and write better, which is why I'm here! :3

I keep intending to write. I feel all full of ideas when I'm nowhere near a computer, then when i sit down in front of the laptop, I am hungry, cold, tired, reminded I should be doing something else, and waste time until I finally go to bed. I'm in a slump! I think it is just the time of year, since I'm transitioning from one set of activities to another. I don't have my routines down and my energy is just all over the place.

Not a new member either, but here goes...

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, where I currently live with my husband of seventeen years (we're both freelance commercial artists) and an elderly little cat named Emmie. I have an Honours degree in English (with a minor in Philosophy), yet I ended up colouring comic books for a living. Sometimes life works out in mysterious ways. :)

Writing fan fiction is my main hobby, and I try to produce at least 1000 words each day during my morning writing session.
