This summer, I'll be finishing up the coursework and certification requirements for becoming a teacher while simultaneously applying for jobs. Now that I have some time on my hands, I've been writing up a storm and will start posting soon :)

I have an account on FictionPress, where my penname is melbelle310. I haven't put anything up there in quite some time, but I just discovered an old folder of original work that I might publish if I get around to typing it up (I still handwrite a lot of my drafts) and editing it. You can also follow me on twitter @perfectpurls, or on tumblr where I'm perfectpurls

This is the first time I've had 2 multi-chapter fics going at one time, so we'll see how this summer goes for that :)

I found some old works when I was cleaning out my room over spring break, so I'm currently going through those. Some of them are in good enough condition (or easy enough to fix) to post, so I will probably start in on those when I have some time.
