Hello, friends! I'm Amanda. This will be my 7th NaNo attempt, 3rd time in a row winning *knock wood*. I'm doing a fantasy called The Dragon Alliance, although I have another story idea that's been tumbling around in my head and which my husband just told me today that he wished I'd picked instead...so I may swap my idea, or I might get really crazy and see if it's possible to do two. Egads.
I'm a homesteading, home/unschooling hippie momma of 3 beautiful girls, ages 9, 7, & 1. The 9 & 7 yr olds will be doing NaNo with me. We live on 40 acres in SE MO, where we have too many dogs and cats, a bunch of chickens, and 4 goats (one of whom is hopefully pregnant!). We are slowly working towards self-sufficiency. VERY slowly. But we learn something every year. We're winding down on our 3rd year here - so my first year of winning was the crazy November that we actually moved here.
I almost always write some kind of spec fic. I lean heavily towards science fiction, but I also enjoy fantasy and alternate history. My other story idea is an apocalyptic tale, and my long-term nano project, 'The NaNo WonderSaga', is a blend of science fiction & fantasy both. When not NaNoing, I enjoy doing short stories and flash challenges. I'm slowly starting to get back into poetry, which I haven't done in over ten years. I've had a few things published, but never for pay. My goal is to change that, hopefully by the end of the year. If not that, next year for sure. :)
That's me! I'm Ahavah on the NaNo forums as well. Can't wait for November!
