My rantings, musings, and the overall verbal diarrhea of optimism that leaks out of me.
This morning, I sat down at my desk and committed myself to focus on my homework for class. This is the final project, the culmination of our studies on publishing and distribution. In case you haven’t been following the blog for the past few weeks, I had to come up with a new project and…
Tomorrow I will be attending an eight hour workshop, sponsored by Burrow Press, at Urban ReThink here in Orlando. The focus of the workshop will be the art and craft of writing short stories. Writing short stories has been challenging for me for several reasons: For one, I’m verbose. Extremely verbose. I could spend pages…
Yesterday evening, I had the unique pleasure of getting to help out a friend and support a good cause. My friend, Jeff, and his girlfriend are looking to start a nonprofit organization called Project: Perfect Timing. The goal of the program will be to encourage abstinence among today’s youth and to look to establish healthy…
On Friday, I bared my soul to the world by posting a documentary in which I admitted to having an eating disorder. If you haven’t had a chance to see the video yet, you probably didn’t realize that I made this confession while literally stripping down to my underwear. It was hard for me to…
So, I’ve spent three days and countless hours editing. I’ve gone from a silent film, to narrated [that’s a blog post all on it’s own, people], to deleting all of my narration and using title slides and background music. The more I look at this film, the more I edit it. In fact, if I…

*GULP* Tomorrow, I will begin filming for the short documentary I proposed for my Publishing and Distribution class. In case you haven’t been following my blog for the last few weeks, I’ve basically committed to creating a very short [3-5 minute] documentary reflecting on my life as a yo-yo dieter and borderline OCD-calorie counter. My…
Today’s post is going to be extremely short. In fact, it pains me to write these words, as every moment I spend typing is a second that could have been spent reading. A colleague of mine recommended the book, Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, to me several weeks ago. In the midst of school, work,…
Don’t worry: this isn’t going to be an overly bubbly, sappy post about Valentine’s Day and how I’m gushy-mushy in love with my husband. Nor is it going to be a bitter, screw-this-commercial-holiday rant. It’s just going to be an ordinary post like an ordinary day. I will admit, though, that the topic does have…
For those of you that do not know, I’m a current student at Full Sail University, majoring in Creative Writing for Entertainment. Full Sail University, located in Winter Park, FL, is an entertainment and media arts school. For the past four years, they’ve hosted what is known as the “Hall of Fame,” which is when…
