My name is Joy and at night, I am a struggling writer. During the day, I get paid to watch after kids. I am also a Cancer, an artist, a girlfriend, a daughter, a movie fanatic, and avid coffee drinker. My passion is with the written word and I write as often as I can (which isn’t very often anymore). I enjoy long walks on the beach, kittens, sentence fragments, aposiopesis, ellipsis in general, and cupcakes. Although I am not allowed to have any anymore because I’m on a diet. I can’t have any cupcakes either. I will be posting my blog, various pieces of ramblings, short stories, flash fiction, etc. Please feel free to read some of my work, follow my blog, and/or just stick around and get to know me.Tumblr (3.0; @iamscribe)http://iamscribe.tumblr.com/<blockquote><p><a href="http://joybernardo.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/howareyou_grey.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Image" src="http://joybernardo.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/howareyou_grey.jpg?w=312"/></a></p> <p>Jake realized that I wasn’t so strange last month.
