all about me
I'm Jen. I'm a 43-year-old stay-at-home-mom to five kids between nine and nineteen and now one grandon (born in 2019). I was born and raised in Chicago but now live in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. I met my husband while working at Walmart after I quit college in April/May 1999, got engaged on June 5, 1999 and were married January 7, 2000. We never dated. We went from friends to engaged to married in a span of 8 1/2 months. We're kind of crazy. Literally... I'm crazy. I have bipolar which is just tons of fun.

what I like
I like a lot of creative things: writing, photography, graphic design, knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking. I design book covers and make icons. I also play the violin. Or, more precisely, I pretend I play the violin--a skill I learned in high school and have since forgotten.

my writing
I started writing when I was a kid. My mom used to tell me that I was always making up stories and as soon as I could write I'd jot them down in my mixed-up, crooked kid writing. I, personally, remember writing my first story at around seven: The Little Ant. The manuscript and the illustrated book I made have both been lost over the years, but I remember the basic storyline (a selfish ant steals a pie and blames his friend). I really didn't do much writing (despite creative writing classes in college even) until 2005 when I discovered fanfic. Since then I've written hundreds of stories. I've also written four novels, although three of them have been hidden away in the metaphorical desk drawer until a later date. My most recent one is still being worked on. I credit NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for my novels.

my fandoms
There are so many shows that I like and I'm primarily a "shipper". Even before I knew what that was I picked couples from my favorite shows to fall in love with.
