Author bio:

I'm 53 and 11/12 as my bday falls in mid NaNo (13th). I've been writing stories since I was 9. 2011 is my 8th NaNo tho my first in 2004 began in the third week.

I began my blog Joystory the same month of my first Nano. It is a journal of my current occupation/interests which shift among: reading, writing, crafting, video/TV watching, current events and captioned cat pics.

Legally blind due to Retinitis Pigmentosa aka Tunnel Vision, what I see is like looking through a 4in tube out a rain splattered window.

My crafts of choice are all fiber arts: crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, braiding and though I make larger things I've become known among acquaintances for my bookmarks.
