Bio

Because I get more personal on this blog than any of my others, I've made the decision to Friends Lock most of my posts here. See below for my Friends Policy.

I'm a public librarian and former fan fiction writer, editor, and publisher; now aspiring pro science fiction author, writer and amateur publisher of fanfic-style stories in zine-style "books." I'm a native New Yorker with a sarcastic streak and an odd sense of humor.

Here is where I pontificate about writing; if you want to know more about me, read my other blogs. And you can read 100 Things About Me. Or, for yet more information, you can check Shelly's Info Pages.

I'm on Twitter!

My Library Thing

If you'd like to read my other blogs, you can friend any or all of these syndicated feeds:

Cyber Chocolate (my main blog): cchoc

Shelly's Book Shelf (my book reviews): shbkshelf

Alternate Reality (my space blog): alterreal Mostly links, and mostly about Mars.

Creative Endeavors (my photoblog): shellysphotos And my flickr page.

The View from Here (blogging about blogging and the occasional political rant): shview

Shelly's Comic Book Shelf (my reviews of comic books): shcomics

ImPRESSions Extra (updates for ImPRESS Books): impextra

I friend folks whose LJs I enjoy reading. Most are writing related and some are real-life friends. If I friend you, I don't expect you to friend me back, but it would be cool. I do understand that not everyone enjoys reading the same things in journals.

If you friend me, I'll look at your LJ and if I find enough that I like and I think I'd enjoy reading it regularly, I'll friend you back. If I don't, please don't feel slighted. I read a lot of LJs and blogs (together, there are more than 450, though that includes photo and art blogs) and I don't add more unless I really plan to read them.

Also, I do not as a rule, do LJ cuts for my posts, regardless of the size of the post. If this would bother you, I won't be offended if you don't friend me.

Finally, I'm mostly friends locking posts here, those that have to do with my writing projects. I might or might not friend you back if you friend me. I didn't want to friends lock posts, but there are people I know in real life I don't want reading those posts. If you want to be added, leave a comment in the Guest Book entry and the reason you want to read my journal.
