Have I mentioned. . .

I hate writing bios. I have to write one for my camp nanowrimo profile. But what do I say? Can who I am be meaningfully encapsulated in 100 words of text. Of course not. So, I have a couple of options.

1) I can sum up my personal/professional careers as a facet of my identity
I am a 36 year old teacher working in special needs and a former librarian. I've had a life-long love of literature and have always wanted to write my own novel. 

2) I can focus on my aspirations as a projection of what I want to be
Someday I will be a world famous author and holder of the nobel prize. Someday. In the distant future.

3) I can make something up in an attempt to be humorous
Among the lonely shelves of a distant library lives a creature steeped in adjectives and subsisting on plotlines. This creature sorts, organizes, and analizes literature and is responsible for the casual serendipity of passersby finding the right book at the right time. This semi-mythical creature is the bibliovore and it looks a lot like me.

Choices, choices, choices
