Name: Charlotte Evans

Interests: mystery and romance novels, tourism, fat activism, fashion, parenting, Joss Whedon, Heroes, Torchwood, etc.

Romance Genre: um. what I'm writing? what I like to read? paranormal, regency, modern writers like Jennifer Crusie.

Tolerance for Beginners: Well, I'm a beginner, so I hope decent. Am happy to bat around ideas or look at construction issues.

Writing History: I have a number of ideas on paper and the first few chapters of a novel started. Am overwhelmed at the sheer number of words needed in a book--need to be on a writing schedule, with a set output, but could use some outside encouragement for that and someone to bounce things off of in the stuck places.

About Me: I'm a fat feminist living in the South East with my partner and our son who is almost 3.  I have an MA in English and taught comp and lit classes at the community college for a few years, but my concentration was in creative writing. Hopefully, I'll be starting an MA in library science this fall. *fingers crossed*

Would love any feedback on the story as whole or on any particular bits of it, including grammar, etc.
