Amateur fiction writer in Seattle, keeping company with no pets right now, just houseplants and tea or coffee depending on the hour. Most of my posts live in First Time. I have a soft spot for the shared secret, real conversation before the bedroom door closes, and clear enthusiasm once it does. I read every comment even when I am slow to reply.
