ABOUT ME:
Hey everyone I'm anaticulapraecantrix which is Latin for "Little Duck Witch." Thanks for stopping by at my profile.

I've been on since 2001 and have been on and off writing since then. Since I've graduated from college, my writings have been less frequent but never say never. I may or may not be writing some original fiction. I appreciate those that seem to keep finding my old stories and reading them. Thanks a lot; I always enjoy the little alerts I receive in my emails. I truly appreciate it.
