Hi, I'm over in the San Francisco Bay Area and primarily a writer, although I do also draw and paint, and sometimes craft a little. Lately I've become interested in paper crafts especially

I'm looking forward to exploring and meeting the other creative types here!

What are some of your biggest pet peeves about the drivers you share the road with?

Personally, I can't stand people who get angry because you are driving five above the speed limit, and people who don't use their turn signals are pretty annoying as well.

l love my fruit and they recommend that you eat five pieces of fruit a day which l do and more if possible, my favourite fruits are mango, oranges, strawberries, melon and kiwi's. What's yours?

Hello! My name is Beth. It's lovely to meet you all!

I am primarily a writer - I have been involved in the writing community on a professional level for several years and currently am the Editor-In-Chief for Eat Sleep Write (www.eatsleepwrite.net) - a community of writers, editors, publishers and anything to do with the writing community!

In addition to writing I am also a musician and teach violin to several students. I am learning cello, play some guitar, and sing. I have a deep passion for music and love creating, sharing, and learning it.

I'm sure there are things I am missing here, but that's the fun of discovery, isn't it? See you around the boards!

Has anyone been successful with putting their work on Amazon and did you use amazon's createspace to download your works? l am thinking of using createspace to add my work as it seems easy to use.

There is a lot of hype over this one but what l have been told is that the bad guy (electro) is not in the comics so my guy is saying that it's not really following the comics anymore and he is not really interested in it after the last director left. He did not like the last one with the new director and he is not looking to see this one. l definitely will go to see this one as l enjoyed the last one. What say you?

l like to do pilates and running, l don't get to run too much due to work but l try to get out when l can and go for a run. What's your medicine?

l find meditation so relaxing and especially when l have had a stressful day, l only meditate for 15 - 20 minutes a day but it really works, has anyone else tried it?

Have you ever been huddled under a cover in front of your computer, munching on easter chocolates, skyping with an ex and thought "wow I'm a fat sack". Well I'm here to tell you you're not alone, tell me your innermost lazy secrets and we'll be fat sacks together, because everybody needs a friend.

So I have been writing fanfiction for the last three or four years or so. In fact, I may even have been writing it for a little bit longer than than over the course of many different fandoms.

For those that don't know, fanfiction is the art of writing stories for works that already exist, such as TV shows, movies, or even books that already exist. You take the characters often enough and put them in an Alternate Universe, or you can write the story and characters from where the original work left off.

I really enjoy fanfic. The community is great.

Do you write fan-fiction?
