Another round of introductions

[pegkerr]

My friend of list is gettting truly frightening and is about to break 300. I last did this when the list was 100, but it's time for another round of introduce yourself, please? Who are you? How'd you find my journal? Why on earth do you keep reading it?

If you're willing, that is. No pressure/guilt if you don't.

Cheers,
Peg, who's about to stagger off to bed

Hmm....

Who am I... That's always a sticky question. A graduate of Clarion (east) 2000, writer of a bus pirates story that Strange Horizons published in February, writer of a story published (under a different name) in an erotica anthology. A technical writer by day, dealing with J.D. Edwards software (primarily) and managing a small team of tech writers and trainers across multiple projects. I've written 2 novels: one needs to be re-written from scratch, the other is off for consideration and I'm scared to death about it when I let myself think about it.

As for how I ended up reading your journal....

I was talking to my now-housemate (louisedunn) when I was visiting in January, or maybe it was February. She asked me if I was reading any writer-journals. I mentioned that I was reading Neil Gaiman's and she suggested yours, and Pamela Dean's. So I figured I'd check both of you out. And I stuck around. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has doubts while writing, or who struggles while writing, or who has Really Good Moments(tm) while writing (Hey, Universe, if you're listening, I could use some of those RGMs right about now!).
