So, as I’ve mentioned in several posts, I’ve been submitting tons of work to different literary magazines, contests, and scholarship opportunities as part of my 5-in-28 goal [see, Who, me? for more info] and to try and get more established in the writing industry. As can be expected, I’ve gotten a lot of rejection. More…
Well, looks like they published another article of mine on the school’s news blog! Woohoo! I never expected that I would be making such headway on my 5-in-28 goal [see, Who, me? for more information] this early in the year. Granted, three of the four publications I’ve had thus far have been for the school’s…
I just learned a few moments ago that the girlfriend of my husband’s friend passed away in her sleep last night. She was 29 years old. I didn’t know her very well, having only met her on a few occasions when we were invited over for a party or vice versa, when they came to…
Whew. Life has been in hyper drive the past few days. Have you ever noticed that the summer months tend to crawl by [except when you’re in grade school – then they fly by like you’re at Nascar or something] and the second Autumn starts, everything starts speeding up? September came and went in a…
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…
