I once thought that working in an office would be "it" for me. Typing away all day amongst other like-minded people. I have done that for as long as I can remember..and in different places. Now that I am unemployed though, I do...

Shadenfrauder Thank you very much. ... And your reasons for blogging are just so precious. It reminds me of why I decided to blog in the first place. Perhaps I'd go back to it. ^_^ More power to us!

Shadenfrauder Wow, I almost feel the same as you do. I thought once that my ideal job would be a job where I do what I loved doing, which is writing. I had one such job for more than a year and I was the happiest there - I get to write stories for books, or quizzes, or...

Shadenfrauder Well, if anyone's bound to laugh at you, perhaps you should try jokes in English first. :D That way, they're laughing WITH you, not AT you. It kinda smarts to be laughed at, after all. Good luck to you, dear. ^_^

I love HP and Buffy. Spike is just too awesome to not write about. What do you write? What other sites do you use? Do you use betas? Have you read a really good fic. recently? I'd love to know!

Shadenfrauder Haha! Art's the culprit! XD Honestly, I'm still a bit squeamish, though I reckon it's more of a shipping-preference squeamish now. I didn't get that much into Buffy, though I'd love a crossover where she just kicks Edward's a*s repeatedly. XDD I...

Shadenfrauder There's one job I had that I quit after one day. XD I remember how long the application process took - I passed a written exam, got an initial interview, told to come next week for an interview, told to come the next for a panel interview, then told to come...

Shadenfrauder Hi! My English writing skills had fooled a lot of people into thinking I'm a native (that's quite arrogant of me, but eh ^^;;). Verbally, I can say I'm passable. Sometimes I wake up and all my thoughts are in English, and I'd spend the remainder of my days...

Shadenfrauder Perhaps you can try getafreelancer.com. A warning, though - there are a lot of freelancers there and competition can be tough. With the right persuasion techniques (and perhaps bidding on the project with a cheaper price compared to anyone else), you can start...

I'll be 25 in a couple of months and I just suddenly realized how time had flown so fast. I remember being 12 and thinking of 20 as a very far age. I even thought I'd be dead before I reach that age (such a morbid child I was),...

Shadenfrauder Oh wow, happy birthday! :D It seems we have the opposite desires. ^_^ Two years ago I happened to get a work that brought me to the countryside, and being a city person, I'm not sure if I can survive. Seven months after transferring back to the city for...

Humor is my top genre. I don't go out of my way to look for it, however - I just find it. I enjoy it more if it's partnered with Adventure. Humor's harder to write and making readers laugh is a gift not every writer has. For...

Shadenfrauder Not so sure but perhaps there are good crossover fics out there... Personally, though, I don't read it. :D I got into fanfic when I stumbled into a beautiful art in DA. I kept wondering what in the world SxN meant, and why the characters looked a lot like...

Shadenfrauder Lemon, eh? XD ... And you're right about that. There're lots of Twilight fics out there, and it's even invading other fandoms. I blame Crossover fics over that, but some writers are beginning to rewrite Twilight using characters in other fandoms. Like...

Shadenfrauder The only way I can think of is to try to talk to them. Convince them that you're a responsible person who can decide for yourself and make them proud. But perhaps you should try to see from their side too? Aside from tradition in your community, perhaps...

Shadenfrauder A long time ago I would have said go to movies. I used to look through the entertainment section of our newspaper just to see what movies are showing and where, and sometimes I'd even plan out my months around a certain movie I've been dying to watch. Now,...
