Amazing. <br /><br />For me, I wish I had more time to write all the stuff I have going on in my head, which probably means I need to focus more as a writer. I do write some young adult fiction, but have been published in the romance genre.J.L.

Meditation, yoga and writing short stories, we have three things in common. See, I am getting to know you better :)<br /><br />@ Shallee, I can never imagine you as being bossy. You look such an angel :) I was aware that you had travelled to Ghana and fallen in love with it, but I never knew about your editing job. YA sci fi is so cool. And a baby on the way, that's absolutely wonderful. I have seen your son's pictures on FB. I am enjoying getting to know you better, Shallee.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-56298075353384655182012-03-14T09:21:11.649-07:002012-03-14T09:21:11.649-07:00What a great idea, Rachna!

I loved getting to know more about you-- it makes me feel more like we're friends instead of just blog visitors. :)<br /><br />And since we're sharing...<br /><br />I grew up as the oldest of four kids, meaning I was really bossy. I used to make my siblings play imagination games with me, where I had a story in mind, and would make them say certain things to fit the "script."<br /><br />I got an English degree at college, and spent several years working as a writer/editor for an online training company. During college, I traveled to Ghana, Africa and fell in love! Then I came home and fell in love again with my hubby. :) We have a cute little boy, and a little girl on the way.<br /><br />I write YA sci fi, because I'm a total science nerd. I wanted to be a science major in college until I realize what I really loved about science were the cool stories I could write about it.<br /><br />And that was really long! :) I'm glad to get to know you a little better, Rachna.Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-40214391074043286772012-03-14T07:11:09.213-07:002012-03-14T07:11:09.213-07:00I now notice that I repeat the word "love&quo...I now notice that I repeat the word "love" too many times.

I have written all my life but I started taking it seriously after a life transforming experience, a turning point in my existence. I am a physician but I am taking time off to mother my daughter and write. I love growing our own vegetables. I am a passionate reader and writer. What else? Oh, I love cycling and being in touch with nature.Julia Honeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497316179340178624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-89088197998200381232012-03-14T02:08:57.516-07:002012-03-14T02:08:57.516-07:00Hearty congrats on your up-coming anniversary.

Yes, giggling is contagious :) I would love to hear you play the guitar someday.<br /><br />@ Karen, I read about your love for chocolates on your blog. I am a huge admirer of your book reviews. <br /><br />@ Lydia, lets hope and pray that we will meet soon, so that not only can you hear me giggle, but you will also giggle with me.<br /><br />@ Life Ordinary (Gayatri), I have not accomplished much yet, there is a long way to go.<br /><br />@ Elizabeth Mueller, perhaps they have an open air bathroom under the trees ;) I had no idea that you like to sing and dance. I was aware that you draw very well. It would really have been nice if we lived close by, then we could meet frequently.<br /><br />@ Elizabeth Varadan, I too was not a techie earlier, but slowly I am learning how to manage the Internet and blog without tripping over my own feet.<br /><br />@ Victoria, it came as a surprise to me that you like writing short stories. Short stories are my favourite.<br /><br />@ Saumya, I too would have wanted you as a friend regardless of how we met.

I also love writing short stories, but put them down while writing the novel. I only ever had one of the early stories published and one long poem. Now I've returned to my shorts to find my style has changed/improved, so I'm rewriting and writing new ones, too. YEAH!<br />I tend to stress over work, money and the respect of others. I need to take more walks than I do, but I have been successful at remembering to pray more often. That's helped the stress to a degree. Walking would help, too. I'm a devoted Christian and Mom of a wonderful daughter, wife to the best husband ever. Life is good, stressors and all.Victoria Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978050059674596756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-72394561278775464512012-03-13T15:01:25.935-07:002012-03-13T15:01:25.935-07:00Wow, that's quite and impressive resume.

You have a lot of accomplishments already, and I feel sure you will get an agent and have one of your stories or books turned into a movie one day.<br /><br />Meanwhile, you probably know me pretty well by now; having helped me through navigating FB, you certainly know I am not a techie. I have to confess I have never gotten into jogging, but I like to take a walk every day. And I also meditate. And, like you, I write for more than one age group, although I'm concentrating on MG novels right now.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-73014931116447075162012-03-13T14:18:09.507-07:002012-03-13T14:18:09.507-07:00How sweet!

I'm fascinated by the image you have for this post. How do they do it if they need to got to the bathroom? lol...<br /><br />I am a mother of 4 cute, rambunctious kidlets. I love staying home with them and would have it no other way--in fact, I would fight to stay home with my kids. <3<br /><br />I love writing just as much as I enjoy illustrating. My first book, Darkspell a young adult paranormal romance, was published fall of last year. It has thrown me in for a HUGE loop, but I think I'm just starting to get the hang of it. I hope...<br /><br />I love to sing and dance and play with my family. I love nature, but not the bugs. lol...<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to share, Rachna!<br /><br />xox<br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥</a><br><br />A to Z co-host<br />#AtoZChallenge<br />@AprilA2ZElizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-62476764229925580072012-03-13T14:02:11.199-07:002012-03-13T14:02:11.199-07:00So nice to know more about you!
