Introduction
Monday, June 14th, 2010This is one of three blogs which I hope to soon interconnect. This one, the “main” blog, will be concerned with general items, but will focus on accessibility (or lack thereof) of blogs, electronic media, and the Internet in general.
My name is Barbara and I’ve been totally blind for over 20 years now. During that time, I’ve: raised two children, help to raise three step-children, and am now helping spoil four grandchildren. Before going blind from a head injury, I received a BS in electrical engineering from a state university and worked for several years in the semi-conductor industry. For the past five years or so, I’ve been writing fiction, taking Internet courses on writing, and have had some short stories published. My current genre is Urban Fantasy and I’m working on a novel length work. (If interested go to www.BarbaraLBates.com/polad) The other blog I have is www.BarbaraLBates.com/livingforlife, and is concerned with living life to its fullest after turning 50. And if you’re not that old yet, come by anywayI plan on including recipes, exercises, and other informational stuff.
