Since the world didn’t end…

Well, since the Great Apocalypse of 2012 has not yet occurred, I guess it’s time to stop procrastinating and actually set out to accomplish the goals I set for this holiday break. AKA, time to do my laundry and wrap those last minute presents. Shucks. I must admit that I find the whole rigamaroo about…

BREAK!

It’s official! I’m on Winter Break! I feel like a child, celebrating the vacation from school with a level of enthusiasm that would put religious zealots to shame. Last night, with no assignments or due dates to worry about, I took my time at the gym [10 miles in 90 minutes!], made a nice dinner,…

Last One! [Need YOUR help!]

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. Both are a “reimagined” telling of the old Grimms’ fairy tale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses. The middle school tale is more amusing,…

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…

The Great Bake Off of 2012

This Sunday, my fellow leadership team and I are getting together with our spouses to celebrate the holidays and the close of a very good year with a potluck. I’m looking forward to the camaraderie, the laughter, and the break from the office. Up until yesterday, I was also really looking forward to the food.…

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!…

Disclaimer: Foul & Vulgar Language Inside!

So… to stretch myself FAR outside of my comfort zone, I decided to write an article in the hopes of being published with Cracked Magazine. After learning that it takes FOREVER to so much as get a pitch reviewed by them, I’ve decided to forgo trying to publish with them [and earn the generous sum…

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…
