Looking to Critique

I'm currently writing...

I have two main WIPs.
My first WIP is a chick lit/romance set in modern day. It explores different types of love (friendship/parental/relationship) as well as the ups and downs of become a parent. It is part humorous part serious.
My second WIP is a Young Adult Fantasy novel based partly in modern days western society, partly in an alternative reality where there are dragons!

What is your writing experience?

I am currently unpublished but I am in the process of editing/revising my first completed novel (I have several other novels that are yet to be completed) I am a full time mum so I only get two days a week to write, but on those two days I write 10k words a day.

My writing influences are...

My favourite genres are chick lit/romance, Young Adult fantasy, classics and historical romance

Books I enjoy reading

My current favourite reads are Hunter Games and Twilight series. I love chick lit like Marian Keynes and lyrical fiction such as the writing of Barbara Kingsolver (my second favourite author of all time. My favourite is Georgette Heyer!)
