Since I've been commenting on and off I thought I'd introduce myself. I am mrs_picasso I've been gearing up for this year's NaNo with some brainstorming and research.

I love historical novels, so that's my thing. Last year I wrote of a bored young woman trapped in a small town during the 1920s. (There is so much trouble that bored characters can get into!) This year I'm moving into the 1930s. I don't get too crazy with the research, I just get familiar with the period and later on, when I am stuck, I can look at my research for period relevant plot ninjas. (I made the boring conservative boyfriend suddeny decide to become a bootlegger, among other things.)

In life outside of writing, I am a writing tutor at a local college, and a graduate student at another. The rest of the time I'm a housewife. (I've already admited to being 35 during the recent poll.)

If you want, friend me, but leave a note so I will know to friend you back. I f-lock my journal so my students can't see it.
