I'm not new, but it is about time I said Hello.

Hey,

I'm Evelyn Joy Basham. I prefer to be called "Joy," but in my professional life I tend to go by my first name "Evelyn." That is where my username eveorjoy comes from, referring to the fact that I answer to both "Evelyn" and "Joy." 

I'm an aspiring author who has written lots of unpublished work and will keep doing so until something is published.

I'm a mother of an adorable son. And that is all I will say about him.

I learned about Brandon through the Wheel of Time series, though I have not read Brandon's books in that series. I stopped at "Path of Daggers." I'll start the series over and finish it one day. I then heard about the video of Brandon's writing class and watched a few of them. After that I went to my local library and picked up "Warbreaker." I have been hooked on the cosmere ever since.

I don't have anyone in my life who reads these books, though not for my lack of trying to introduce them to friends and family. That's why I love to come to these forums to clarify things I have misunderstood, or to have someone to geek out with over how awesome that scene is in a certain book was.

I will be a bit flaky at times. With the demands of motherhood and my own writing to focus on I know I may be gone from this forum for months or even a year at a time. I will always come back to share a crazy idea, read some awesome posts, learn some interesting news, or enjoy a podcast.

This is a great site and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Joy

Welcome to the shard!

Awesome to have another writer here

Unfortunate that noone else reads those books in your life, glad to provide the discussions you need.
