Somehow, October launched a sneak attack on me. I swear, it was the first week of September just minutes ago. How is it the last day of September? I have at least 4-5 pieces I have been procrastinating on all month and two contests with a submission deadline of MIDNIGHT on October 1st — so…
I don’t have much to say today other than the fact that I’ve submitted an article to Cracked Magazine [www.cracked.com] and I am hoping – wishing! – that it gets selected for publication. It is absolutely outside of my normal writing style – it’s sarcastic, vulgar, and downright hilarious, if I do say so myself.…
I am in an absolutely wonderful mood today. I’m quite literally giddy. Why am I so happy? Allow me to list the reasons: I am married to the most incredible man on earth! He made me fresh French-press coffee this morning. Seems like a small act, but it meant the world to me. My department…
Ok, this 5-in-28 goal [see Who, me? for more info] is looking more and more achievable. I just got my 3rd publication! Woohoo! It’s actually on our school’s portal, so I cannot post a direct link. I’ve copy/pasted the article below: ****************** Finding Balance as an Online Student Sep 25, 2012 Many online students struggle…
Today, my department is moving from a rented suite in Downtown Orlando back to our main location in Winter Park. Two years ago, all of us begrudgingly agreed to move to the downtown office due to space issues in our home location. We complained about the added commute [at the time, I lived exactly 2.3…
I realized that a full three days had passed between blog posts! Whoops! I’ve been trying to post every day or, at the minimum, every two days and I’m mad at myself for slipping. Three days! Yeesh. I’m not ranting because I think that I have an avid fan base or anything that has now…
This evening, I decided to reward myself [for a clean bill of health from my Doctor’s visit earlier in the day] with a massage. I called late in the day and was pleasantly surprised that I could be fit in for a 9pm appointment. Who knew those even existed? So, I went this evening, prepared…
In an effort to break through my writer’s block, I went sifting through some older projects I had started as part of my coursework at Full Sail University. I stumbled upon a very short piece I had begun as an exploration into the “New Historicism” literary style for my Literature Criticism and Analytical Thinking Course.…
One paragraph into chapter three on my fantasy piece and I froze-up. Nothing else will come out of me tonight. Too much on my mind, perhaps. Here’s all I could ring out of the dry sponge tonight: Hate is a powerful emotion. Inali had never known hate prior to the Hanupe attack. Now, the very…
I’m nervous. I hate doctors, especially this one. Not because he isn’t a nice guy or anything. He is actually one of the most pleasant physicians I’ve ever gone to. It doesn’t make me look forward to the visit, though. He could pass out lollipops and cashiers checks and I’d still dread the visit every…
