What better way to start a blog then to tell you a bit about who is on the other side of the screen?

Joy H is one of our main writers and has been wordsmithing since she knew how to put pen to paper. She will let us say it was less than a half-century ago but a decade or two beyond a quarter-century.

Her writing experience includes being published under multiple aliases. Finalist in a few contest, and avid adventurer in finding tips, tricks and resources to help her wordsmithing ways.

Though her true passion is helping other writers find their voice.

Her resume would be a jumble of unconnected jobs, because “who wants to do the same thing twice?”. Having varied jobs has given her different perspectives and lets her imagination flower into an amazing wild garden of ideas.

Though she has fallen in love with her current title CREATIVE, a few of her mundane jobs have included:

• Cash Room Associate
• Data Entry Clerk
• Dental Assistant
• Executive Administrative Assistant
• Internet Magazine Editor/Writer
• Nature Photographer
• Office Manager
• Outbound Call Center (Telemarketer)
• School Cafeteria Worker
• Small Business Owner
• Volunteer at various Non-Profit Organizations
• Waitress
• Website Designer
• and the list goes on…

If you are on the National Novel Writing Month website, be sure to stop by and say hello. It’s one of her favorite charities. The bonus of being around so many people trying to write is sweet temptation she refuses to resist.

Currently Joy is starting the next phase of being a Creative here with Starkly Written. Writing for us and offering her services as a writing coach.
