Five Keys to Building a Great Blog

This evening, I attended a live Webinar from a major industry professional, Eric Fletcher, where he shared his five key principles to building a great blog. Thank you to Full Sail University for hosting it free for the students! I found the information very interesting, so I figured I’d share – on my blog! Ta-da!…

Disclaimer: Foul & Vulgar Language Inside!

So… to stretch myself FAR outside of my comfort zone, I decided to write an article in the hopes of being published with Cracked Magazine. After learning that it takes FOREVER to so much as get a pitch reviewed by them, I’ve decided to forgo trying to publish with them [and earn the generous sum…

Publication #12!

So, another article I’ve written has gone live on the Full Sail University Connect site! Woohoo! As usual, I can’t provide a direct link [unless your faculty, staff, or a student], so I’ve copied and pasted the article below. Enjoy! ******************************** Student Uses Humor, Effects to Draw Viewers to Her YouTube Channel By Victoria Webster-Perez…

Sidetracked… but not forgotten!

Whoops! It happened again! I let time slip away on me and nearly a week has passed since my last post. It’s so easy to let that happen in this crazy, rushing, cacophonous world we live in. Sometimes I surprise myself when I find time to eat, hit the gym, or even just take a…

Juggling

November has been one of those months where I feel as if I have been doing a lot but accomplishing little. I’ve been very busy with multiple projects, yet if someone stopped me now to ask me what I’m working on, it may take me a few moments to come up with an answer that…

The Aviator is Out!

I’m keeping this post short and sweet, as I’m behind on my NaNoWriMo and my punishment is that I’m not allowing myself to read or write [outside of my school/work obligations, of course], until I’ve caught up on my word quota. The Fall 2012 edition of The Aviator, Full Sail University’s literary magazine, is officially…

Melancholy romance?

Despite my ardent optimism, I can occasionally succumb to the temptation of a melancholic mood. Today is one of those days. I’m not upset. I’m not angry. I have absolutely no reason to be anything but chipper and my usual bubbly self; but I’m not. Lugubrious would be a generous term to describe my current…

Oh no, NOVEMBER!

I’d like to take a moment to pause and reflect on my life thus far in 2012. Today is November 14th, 2012. How exactly did that happen? Where does the time go? This has been a busy year. Since January 1st, 2012, I’ve accomplished quite a bit. I’ve failed at quite a bit, as well,…

Sharing a poem…

I’d like to share a poem with you that I wrote very recently while taking a break from NaNoWriMo. However, before I post it, I’d like to offer a thought that has been troubling me for quite a while. This should go without saying, but the tone expressed in this poem is NOT an emotion…

Progress

I’ve finally hit my stride with NaNoWriMo. The habit has been formed and I’ve found the will power to sit down every night and pump out my word quota for the day. Inali’s future is taking shape. She’s developing a personality and a purpose. A secondary character has been successfully introduced and will soon become…
