Holiday Break!

I have just one more week of class and then I get the luxury of a two week holiday break. I’m ecstatic. I feel like I’ve been running in overdrive for several months now, balancing work, school, NaNoWriMo, side projects and, most importantly, my family and friends. It will be nice to finally step away…

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!…

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…

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…

Publication #11!

My article for the school’s news blog is up! This marks my 6th journalistic publication and my 11th total publication since my 28th birthday! After all of the NaNoWriMo stress I’ve been feeling the past week, this was a good booster for my ego and self-confidence. You can view a copy/paste of the article here,…

Inali

A few people have asked me about the topic of the story I’ve chosen to write for NaNoWriMo. As surprising as this may be, I actually decided to pick back up on the story I had begun for my Science Fiction and Fantasy Course at Full Sail University, The Revenge of Inali. Under the patient…

Priorities

Ok. I did it. On November 1st, I managed to finish the entire rough draft for my transmedia marketing proposal for school, read almost 100 pages from my textbook, hit the gym [in the morning – bonus points], and chugged out the first 2,300 words for NaNoWriMo. Whew! I’m exhausted just recounting it. Tonight, I…

Publications 8, 9, and 10!

I just received word from Full Sail University’s literary magazine, The Aviator, that two of my poems and one piece of my flash fiction have been selected for publication. Yay! In addition, one of my poems was selected for the “Editor’s Award,” which I’m guessing is the favorite piece in the chosen genre. Woohoo! Normally,…
