CURRENT NEWS-

For those who signed up for gingerbread ornament swap, I had to cancel #2 and prob won't be doing others. I have Bell's Palsy right now and there is too much going on in my life. I hope that is ok.

I plan to start a new swap after the first of the year so stay tuned...Taking a break for the holidays and to work on my novel. I will be back in 2025!!!

I am back and changed my name(previously Dragonwriter). I deleted my old profile to ensure I only have one per the rules( I guess suspicion is rampant...) BUT I deleted it because I couldn't log on ( planned to contact admin to remove old one or switch them )so I made a new one then I found my old log in info and deleted that one. I had a 5.0 rating with over 2000 swaps before I deleted it and since you can only have one profile. I couldn't delete this one since it was new so I deleted the old one....Hope that explains things to those who have assumed otherwise. Everything from my old profile(with updates) has been moved here! If anyone has swapped with me before- find me!!!

Hello. My name is Jenifer (Jinna Dennis is my pen/writing name). I am a single 53-year-old mom of two grown boys. I just had my first grandchild born in September 2021.

I am a produced screenwriter, director, and producer. I started making films and writing screenplays in 2020 and made my first short film. I found that I know nothing about editing though and the sound is awful but the film is fantastically creepy. In 2021, I started writing novels instead of scripts. I am working on my debut as we speak! Out MAY 2025.

My holidays- any and all witchy holidays as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving. I am not religious so I prefer to use the seasons to celebrate. If you want to make a religious holiday craft for me, make it neutral enough so it can fit in my decor/stash. Thanks.

I enjoy creating ATC's and making them in my distinct style which is more of a collage type. I don't like keeping a large collection though. I just moved in Feb so the space is larger but the storage is still small.

I have no need for lots of extras. The only things I would use would be washi tape, stickers, stationery, pens/pencils, and things like paper clips, planner items, etc. Think of things that a writer would/could use. Don't fret though, if you send something, I can't/won't use, I will pass it on to someone who can/will.

My favorite themes are Asian-inspired, Kpop, Kdrama, Cdrama, etc. I love all things fantasy, I have a bit of geek( Doctor Who, Marvel, etc.) in me and love everything writing inspired. It's been a weird road the last few years. I have found that things I loved 3 years ago, just don't full fill me anymore. I am still searching for myself, even at the age of 53.

I am usually at home with my 4 cats, writing my days away but sometimes a girl just needs to craft. :) I babysit my grandson since momma and daddy work. I can write and watch him and am getting the best of both worlds.

Favorite Music I listen to lots of music but my main playlists are Kpop. :) ULT group: SF9 ULT Bias: Woodz If I were to list all my favorite music and artists, this list would be insane. So if you are curious, just ask.

Favorite Books There is a saying: Write what you want to see or want to read. So I did. (links above) I write Asian Fantasy romance, Crime/Psychological, LGBTQ+, and Romance in various genres. I have a vivid imagination and my idea book is getting full. I watch a lot of tv and film. I think it's how I learn to write better. I used to read a lot, but since I started writing, reading has become more of a learning and inspiration.

My path to now! I am a tough person who has been through the wringer. But I try hard to live the best life I can and be happy. In 2017, I was watching a YT video of a dance choreo. (I can't dance but I LOVE watching it) The group was called EXO. I loved it. The song resonated and I was like, who are they. This is how I got into KPOP. BUT things changed in my life. After learning how they train to become idols, I got inspired and decided to go back to college. I was 47 years old. I finally got a degree!!!! I have a AA in Theater. I started writing screenplays, taking a few online courses, and getting certificates for screenwriting. I started making connections and became a writer on an international team. We completed a short film in 48 hours. Then I decided to make my own film. That was an experience and I learned a lot more about myself. I attempted a few screenplay contests and didn't win. No problems, I know I am a newbie and need to keep working! But writing has been in my soul since I was a teen, it's how I escaped when I was a kid facing things a kid shouldn't have. So I started writing on an online forum. My stories weren't read much, but I loved writing and still wanted to try. JK Rowling was 47 before her writing (Harry Potter)was ever noticed. So, I will never give up hope.

Things I like: Asian Inspired items (mostly Chinese and Korean) Not really a Japanese Anime fan. But I do like Chinese/Korean novels/comics and shows like The Untamed. Planner stickers.

Bunnies, cats(big and small), narwhals, fantasy creatures, Foxes

I love to use Asian fabrics to make decor items for my home. I love pillows and fuzzy blankets.

I wear a size XL but am trying hard to lose some weight! Hoodies, oversized sweaters, Retro t-shirts, Converse or Pumas, and comfy clothes are the best ever.

I like to collect glass "gemstones" and real crystals. I have a massive collection of both.

I love Peppermint coffee/tea and Matcha Tea. I love OOlong loose tea leaves are amazing to refresh my mind. Milk tea and Korean food are staples.

Stickers, yellow #2 pencils, G2 pens, Flair pens, washi tape, stationery(especially Asian inspired), Photography of city skylines, Cherry Blossoms, Pink, grey, and Dark blue colors, Silver colors, Matte gold colors, Asian writing/papers, Chinese cloud shapes, lotus, International money ( I am sure there is more) ghosts, anti-valentine, book related stuff

Cat toys, and treats for my 4 babies.
