With the end of Spring Break and the return to school, the inevitable chain-myself-to-my-desk routine of homework has commenced. It’s time to burn the candle at both ends, balancing school and work, and hope that the creative well can stand a bit more pumping. What a lot of people do not realize, though, is that…
So, I’m officially in the last three days of my Spring Break. I’ve been pleasantly lazy, working on absolutely nothing and getting to bed at a reasonable hour every night. I’ve enjoyed being unproductive, but I don’t want to end my Spring Break without accomplishing something, so I’m going to call on my followers here…
As I was walking through my neighborhood a few weeks ago, I stumbled across this photo sitting in the flowerbed. There were no houses nearby, just shops and an elementary school, so I had no idea where it had come from. I didn’t pick up the picture, but I stared at it for several minutes,…
For those that don’t know, I work at a college in the Admissions Department. My team handles enrollment and paperwork processing from students all over the world, so it can get a little tedious/repetitive every now and then. To break the monotony, I write silly poems, limericks, and other nonsense whenever I alert the team…
They bounce through the sky on the breeze, Traverse the world’s length with such ease, Nimbus brings the rain, Cirrus plays to feign, The clouds! They do just as they please. I hope you enjoyed it, Christina! 🙂 ~ Victoria Elizabeth
It is officially Spring Break for all of us Full Sail’ers [Sailors? But we’re not on water… hmmmm] and I couldn’t be more excited. A full week of no assignments, no required reading, and no lectures. Seven whole days without homework. My eyes well with tears of joy just thinking about it. During our last…
Now that we’re officially one week away from the close on our new house, my husband and I have decided it’s probably about time we start packing up our possessions and deciding what stays and what goes. Even though we went through the “shedding” process just last August, it’s amazing how much more CRAP we’ve…
Nothing excites a writer more than learning that one of their works has been accepted into a publication. On April 17th, my short story, “Sticky Fingers,” will be published on the front page of LINGUISTIC EROSION, an online journal dedicated to flash fiction. Woohoo! I try not to count my chickens before they hatch, of…
Last night, I had the opportunity to hang out with my future sister-in-law, Lindsey. She’s getting married in just six short weeks [egads!] and last night we were working on the finishing touches for her wedding invites. A little late, but better than never. Since she is using a virtual RSVP website, she had the…
Today marks a week since my husband and I lost our close friend, Greg Asphaugh. He was only 26 years old. His whole life stood before him. To take my mind off of the events of the past week, I decided to sit down and finally finish Jitterbug Perfume, by Tom Robbins, which I had…
