Hi, Writers!

I'm new to the list (why else would I be posting under "intro?").
You've probably already guessed that.

My name is Abigail; I go by Abby.  But not "Dear Abby."  Think of me
less like a mildly sarcastic advice columnist and more like Abigail
Williams.  Without the funny hat.  And I never chased any yellow birds;
nor have I ever accused anyone of witchcraft.  Ummm....

Well, anyway...I'm Abby Sullivan.  24 years old, from the Midwest,
working on my Master's, working as a G.A.  I write fiction, a bit of
poetry, stuff that doesn't classify as either.  I'm a Camille Paglia
disciple and have an aversion to all things redneck.  In my spare time,
when I'm not studying or teaching or working on writing, I read copious
amounts of Douglas Adams, Harlan Ellison, and Charles De Lint. A little
Storm Constantine for good measure.

I'm also a lesbian.  Currently unattached.  Why do I tell you this on
such short acquaintance, you ask?  Well, because it's a big part of who
I am.  A lot of my writing comes from that part of me.  I find that if I
just come right out and say it, it solves a lot of problems that could
crop up down the road.

Shaking hands all around,
Abby

I feel there is something unexplored about women
that only a woman can explore.
