L. J. Devereaux

Well... For someone who claims to love writing as much as I do, you'd think putting a few words down about myself wouldn't be so complicated.

Yet here we are, or here I am rather, staring at the cursor and wondering what to say. I don't think that the problem is that I haven't anything to say, but that there's so much I *could* say. But not all of it needs saying.

For starters, LJ is a pen name. I chose to operate under a nom de plume for several reasons, the least of which is that I just really liked the idea. It gives an air of mystery to an otherwise unremarkable identity. My real name is not the sort of thing that inspires much emotion on any level I don't think, but Leah Jane Devereaux... Now that's something. Or at least I think it's something.

I don't really have a specific genre. I dabble in a little bit of a lot of things. Mostly I envision scenes that play out like movies in my head, and I attempt to frantically transcribe into words what I see in my mind. And it's hard. And it sucks.

But sometimes I end up with a thing that is halfway decent. And that's the sort of stuff I'll post here. I have no illusions of being published any time soon. Ideally, I'll get there. Someday. Maybe.

As of right now, however, I am here just to offer my insight to the world, read some of yours and maybe make a friend or two.
