I was a country kid growing up -- now live in the city and have done for many years. Worked as a child health nurse since 1983 and absolutely loved babies -- found my niche there!
Retired due to disability -- wheelchair past two years. Writing has rescued me and given me a reason to live, along with my devoted husband and four beautiful grandchildren. |

Giddy Nielsen-Sweep:
I joined FanStory in 2010, so last July I had my fifth anniversary. It is thanks to reviewers and teachers on the site that I have been able to develop as a writer and poet. I may not be brilliant at either of these, but at least I can take my place with some confidence and knowledge. I owe you guys a lot and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Most of all though, it is thanks to my devoted husband and carer, Pete, that I am able to have this interest at all. My photo shows me at the computer with large screen he has set up for me with my headphones on.

| the blue pixel: Hi Giddy, I didn't realize, or didn't remember that you are a neighbour of mine - what a couple of thousand ks? I was in your fair State for a week away recently. I wanted to have a sticky beak at a little about you and am so sorry to learn you you get around in a chair but despite that, you sound like a very positive person and I for one can truly say, that your encouragement and support in your reviews I my writing, whether of my poetry or my novel, has lifted me up every single time I see your name. I am privileged to know you. Your Aussie friend Carol (from melbourne). Smiles and kisses.

Lovinia: Hi Giddy

Northpal: Hello Giddy, Thank you for being my
fan. I was so proud when I got the message. My first thought was that you must be originating from Denmark. Right or wrong? Anyhow, I saw that you live in Australia, this vast and strange but beautiful continent. Some years ago I visited Australia. I stayed in Sydney and Melbourne. I also had the opportunity to play golf there. The pro told me however that I shouldn't go looking for the balls outside the fairway, there might be some 'small friends' out there. Take care, talk to you some day again.

No... pure strange Aussie! Just really like your work, although my ancestors do originate from Denmark. Best wishes, Giddy
