Hi!  This is my first novel-in-progress on wattpad. I'll be posting every 3-4 days (depending on work and kids).  This is what Gandhi's Guide is NOT about - It's not about vampires or anything else that's out of the ordinary and it's not a love story. Rather, it's about being twenty-four and not sure where you stand in the world when things don't work out the way you thought they would.

Other stuff about me?  I have a schnauzer who every time I say "heel" "sit" or "quiet" assumes I'm talking to my husband or one of the kids.

I love reading and will generally comment if I read your work.

Things I am blown away with on wattpad:

- The imagination that is out there, sometimes read stories which may not be my type, but then I find myself thinking - Wow, this person has a great imagination and isn't that what creativity is all about!

- The talent I have come across

- How young some of you are and how determined - bravo to all of you!

- the fact that for some of you English is your second language and yet you're out there, writing - that takes guts and determination and I admire that

Things I will NEVER read on wattpad:

- Any story that thinks incest is okay - it NEVER is!

- Any story which thinks some guy "forcing" himself on a girl is okay

I constantly have bad hair days and I love anything covered in chocolate 

Comments are appreciated, especially if they're constructive.  In the meantime, thanks for reading...

*glares at the green tick sign* I hate to think GG is over.... it was good to learn that Emma is finally at peace with herself but.... I'll be needing my fix of your uploads pretty soon if you don't want me to suffer the withdrawals...
