| Introduction | "Jo Bless," of course, is not my real name, although the "Jo" part is. My tongue-in-cheek moniker allows me to tell you things about myself that I would not care to divulge publicly and, BONUS, I get to say whatever I feel like behind this mask of anonymity. Wheee! What fun! I'm trying to maintain a sunny attitude despite a few lousy breaks lately. I had to stop working in June of 09 due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm a lot better now, thanks to very expensive medications. Yay?! I recently finished medical EI and am now on regular EI - ready, able and all that jazz. In what little free time I have between job-hunting, volunteer work, software training and hanging out with friends, I'm blogging to all those jobless people like me who are broke and stressed. I'm also trying to gather some resources for low income locals and help out local charitable organizations. I spread the word wherever I can. Let's all hold hands and sing Koombaya. Just kidding. No, really, talk to me. Post your comments and I'll be happy to respond, unless you're frighteningly crazy. Even so... I'll probably try. |
| Interests | Getting a JOB! I'm also pecking away at my first novel (historical fiction), peck. peck. peck ... plus blogging and tweeting in between. My social life is mostly online these days. Someone take me out into the real world for coffee please? (kidding), I'm getting "cabin fever." For real. Literary agents, feel free to contact me. My novel is MUCH better than my blog ;) |
