I'd like to meet:I'm just here to network and meet new people. It would be cool to connect with readers, writers, photographers, models, make-up artists, film makers, actors, actresses, sound designers, costume designers, set designers, stage managers, etc. I have a lot of projects planned and will need help from time to time. :-)Also, I have a lot of names...some people know me as Story, some call me Legend, others call me P, and of course people call me my name: Cheril. If you're used to calling me a particular name then there's no need to change. :) I'm still just me... |
