I teach Spanish at college level, which I totally love. I have a graduate degree in Spanish literature, but have always taught language classes ... lately I've been feeling as if I should've studied linguistics instead. I just love the way language works. Maybe I'll go back to college someday .
Because of my background in linguistics, one of my fan fic pet peeves is the so-called "Grey Elven" ... I don't see the point of writers using made up Elvish and it irks me a bit. So I just skip the lines in Sindarin if the fic is worth reading. _________________ ~ boe an phân pedi ‘lam dadui ~

| I teach tech writing and edit a journal, so I'm with Viv in being picky. But I also write scholarly articles about how people communicate in the workplace, and for that, I do ethnographic research. That is, I go into worksites, watch people, and then write little stories about what they do to analyze. That (plus the fact that I have spent most of my free time reading since I was first able to) is what first spurred me into writing fiction. |
