V.S. Lee
I am a 35 year old wife and mother. I have a bachelors degree in Liberal Arts - English, so I love to write, and I love to read, and I love to edit and analyze. I have a few sincerely appreciated fans, and I follow a few more contributors. I am always interested in reading others' content. I have a very wide range of interests, and I like to write within just about any subject. I also love to try fiction and poetry. Constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated. Feel free to recommend other writers or work to me! I love to learn, and I love to inform, when I actually know what I'm talking about. Oddly, I even love to do research for articles about which I know nothing when time permits. My areas of interest are varied, and I will try to keep it reasonable, below.
