Also several personal projects that are sitting around waiting for me to pick them back up again.

- What do you feel is your greatest weakness as a writer?
- Coming up with a coherent start to finish plot on my own. I usually need somebody to talk to about it for weeks if not months until something evolves over time. Almost all of my plots are character-driven, which I don't mind because that's the sort of thing I like to read.

- I know quite a bit about mythology and folklore- I'm studying it in college. I word for a YA literary agency, so I have on the job experience judging full manuscripts and providing authors with crits.

my MSN is kristina_horses11@hotmail.com (we don't talk about the lameness of my msn) and my email/gtalk is usullusa@gmail.com
I prefer googletalk, which is built into gmail, if at all possible.
And yes, I too am doing the World Building event. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, it's just letting me wander off track. Which is interesting and fun, but not helpful.
And yep, I'm participating in Eliza's Worldbuilding event. It's been giving me a lot of focus so far. Are you in it, too?
I'm another character-driven, urban fantasy fan, and I love babbling about writing ideas and the like. Interested in talking further or exchanging work for a sample critique?
