About Me:

I have been a newspaper staff writer and copy editor. I am retired, but still love to write. I have written and self-published a family memoir. I have had one poem published (Two Old Souls) out of the numerous ones I've written. I have 4 wonderful children, 8 marvelous grandchildren, and (soon to be) 5 beautiful great-grandchildren. I love to cook, write, crochet, read and watch news of what's happening in our world. I write for ehow, OurEcho, and now for Bukisa. I write not just for the extra money and recognition, but because something in me just needs to do it. The euphoria I get from crafting a well told story is my instant gratification, and motivates me, possibly more than anything else. Please visit my blog at: http://nancycarol.wordpress.com/
