Author bio:

I've lived in Japan for a little over five years, and in that time I've:

*become conversational in Japanese, but not normal Japanese. I speak old-man Japanese.
*gone from occasional two-mile jogs to running straight up mountains to racing in a full-length marathon in Fukuchiyama to limping around in need of a cane. Yay, permanent knee damage
*done half a year of Japanese archery
*done two years of Shorinji Kempo (a martial art)
*started working on a manga
*written a book, and I've
*met, fallen in love with, and become affianced to lightstheway

I've never done NaNoWriMo before! The book I'm planning to write is actually the second in a series.
