Welcome to the 'Gogue, Caitz!

I feel bad because I wasn't among the first to welcome you. (I'm usually on so much, I get to say hello fairly soon, but changing careers has cut into my online time.)
It's nice to meet you and very cool to have another writer in our midst! We have several, which means this place is a pretty good 'home' for fanfic. There's even a place for original, non-SVU fic, if you're so inclined.
It's great you're studying to become a professional writer. What genre are you hoping to write in? I wrote professionally from 1992 through 1998; various kinds of writing across through a lot of corporations and clients. It's a very fulfilling career path and in my 'off time' I'm working on something for the crime genre. (I'm a cop-fic fan.) I plan to get back into writing full-time again as soon as I can. I sincerely hope you're able to find a niche and exploit it like crazy!

I love "In Plain Sight," too. Awesome show! While I thought it would be much more serious, the eps keep me interested enough to tune in whenever I can. And I love New Mexico, which is another benefit to watching the show.
Hope you like it here and stay a long time. Again, welcome!
