Memory Book/Gila Sadar (Michelle Dupont)

After you have filled in information in a specific section, be sure to remove the "instructional" text, including this introduction!

Start by giving some information about your "real" self. This can include your gender, age, occupation, and so on. Remember that any information about your "real self" that is requested on these pages is purely optional. The point of the project is to collect your memories about playing in the group, and doing so does not require personal details. However, if you are comfortable giving them, they will be interesting for the reader.

	History

• Where were you first placed? What was it like starting to sim on your vessel?

My first posting and my first love was the Luna-class vessel, the USS Artemis-A under the command of then-Commander Addison MacKenzie.
As for my first writing experience? In a word? Nervewrecking! I'm a naturally quite anxious person, so I kept second-guessing myself - am I doing too much, too little, am I being too obtuse, too wordy, am I misrepresenting my character? - but thanks to the competent staff and my mentors - official and unofficial - I gradually came to get more comfortable with the format, and I think - in the end - I contributed more good things than negatives to the Artemis. At least, I hope so!

• What have been your greatest challenges in this group?

Definitely building my confidence as a writer. Thankfully, the SB118 community is so uniquely supportive, and I've made many friends and writing colleagues in my time here that consistently enable me to get out of my own head and see my writing for its strengths, as well as its weaknesses. My writing still has flaws - as I'm sure all of us thinks of our own writing - but I'm no longer as blind to my strengths.
