I've done a lot of fiber arts, so I know about spinning and felting.

And taking a day off to go "visit" isn't always an option, though loads of
fun.

Wonderful suggestions however. Thank you.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Newbie/writer intro to the list

Hi Marie,

Welcome! And I must say how cool of an idea you have to incorporate the alpaca lifestyle into your writing! I'm sure you will be visiting alpaca farms in your area for some first-hand experience. You might even be able to go when they have a monthly herd health day. Or maybe go take a spinning or felting class!

Best wishes for your research!

[AlpacaTalk] Newbie/writer intro to the list

Hi all!

I'm a bit different than most on this list.

I'm a writer.

I write fiction and currently, I have a novel that I want to have alpacas
and alpaca breeders in a accurate and good light.

I'm at the very beginning stages of research, so beyond some basics like:
ooooOooO they look cute and they are grazing animals and I've heard tale that
they humm and are originally from South America. I know very very little.

My character Mary, fortunately, knows very little as well. So I'm looking
for her to make some mistakes, and learn. Eventually, by the end of the book
I want her to have a thriving farm, breeding, feeding, showing?? and
marketing the wool (or whatever it's called) in some way.

Ok, now for the personal stuff.

I have a husband and I have 5 cats. I'm constantly caring and feeding
them. I live in CT, and although I have a "day job" I write. Articles, short
stories, and novel. I've been published in articles and short stories.

So mostly I'll be lurking, but sometimes I'll ask questions that might
appear really stupid, but I'm just doing research.
