Brief Author Bio:

Crystal loves to read great writing and hopes someday that reading list includes at least one novel of her own. In the face of multiple tragedies in her lifetime, Crystal desires to turn all the perceived negative events into good things by writing out some happy endings. Some of those happy endings have even come to pass.

Crystal's first two attempts at NaNo were winners in word count but not completed novels. This year, 2009, Crystal plans to actually finish the novel she starts and to have a real manuscript ready for March for NaNoEdMo. In the spirit of her favorite parody quote, "The Lord is my Editor, I shall rewrite," Crystal is planning to revisit the characters from her first novel for a complete rewrite, this time with an actual plot in mind. All that said, if she fails to communicate as much as she should with fellow members of Louisville Christian Writers, or submitters to her non-fiction compilation, Good Morning Christian Writer, find her on here and see if her word count gives her a proper excuse.

Finally, Crystal is super excited about participating this year. The previous two years were spent in recovery from surgeries, but the lack of NaNo in her life made her feel even emptier than the missing disk in her neck. In other words, first person words that is, I'm back. Yay!
