My name is Victoria and I also live in Downers Grove. I'm a graduate student at Dominican University in River Forest, where I am working on my Masters in Library and Information Science. I currently work at a public library in the south suburbs. It's a long commute, but I love my job. I've participated in NaNo before, but I've never met the 50k goal. I often complain about how working full-time and going to school leaves me no time to write, but I decided that I need to start making time for it. After all, it's not like my life will ever be less busy, at least not in the foreseeable future.

My novel this year will be a fantasy adventure about a group of heroes attempting to keep a power-hungry lord from unleashing a chaos god upon the world. I've been having a lot of fun world-building for this one, and I think maybe that's why I like fantasy so much. The possibilities are nearly endless. It started as a little seed of an idea about a creator with no paternal love for his creation and grew into this really big monster of a plot.
