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…
*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…
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…
I started a new class on Monday entitled, “Publishing and Distribution.” As you can imagine, it’s all about… [wait for it]… publishing and distribution! Who knew? In this evening’s lecture, my professor expounded on the final project that we’re going to be working on throughout the class and delivery at the end: the creation of…

Haha, fooled ya! I’m actually itching to do a pitch: meaning, a…

Unfortunately, she was given VERY little notice regarding the acceptance and has had less than three weeks to raise the money for the tuition. Tuition for the event is $3,500,…

Since I cannot post a direct link, here’s a copy/paste of the article: *************** 2013: Easy Game Plans for Positive Change It’s that time of year again: time to shake off bad habits and resolve to…
School resumes on January 7th. I’ll be starting a class entitled The Creative Writing Industry, which sounds as exciting as it does intimidating. This will be my 24th course at Full Sail University and I’ve only got eight more to go before graduation. Yipes! It’s around the corner, isn’t it? This has been the most…
OK… just one more assignment and I’m officially on break. Ecstatic! I’m debating between revising my short story for a middle school audience or the one I wrote for a high school audience.
