I read everything! Including classics, YA, how-to books, self-help, historical, romance, although I love fiction involving strong women (or weak women who become strong).
I've completed two novels, one appealing to women on the literary side, another a fun romp (dare I say it? chick lit?). Currently a member of Romance Writers of America. I joined because I thought my writing was romantic, but no... it's more commercial with romantic elements. :-) Working on a romance right now, just to see if it can be done.
I sometimes contribute to online forums like Yahoo! Contributor and Blog Critics, although have slowed my articles because of edits on my books.
