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…
This morning, I met with the incredibly talented staff members of Different Perspective, a design/marketing/PR firm in Downtown Orlando. I had the opportunity to tell them a bit about myself, my life, and – most importantly – my professional goals as a writer. And they listened. On the 23rd of this month, I’ll be meeting…
This post is going to be short and sweet, as I have HOURS of homework to plow through tonight. Announcement: I officially have an appointment with a Web Development/Design/Marketing firm on Thursday. Downtown Orlando, 9:30am. A legitimate and well-respected firm. Holy crap. I’m really doing this. I’m officially taking the huge step [and investment] of…
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…
This is the best I can do with Adobe Photoshop CS6. Yeah, I’m a disgrace. If anyone can design me a cool logo, I’ll be your best friend forever. I’m also willing to pay a nominal sum – I am a college student, after all, so I can’t do much.

Another year draws to a close and the rush to draft up a long list of resolutions that I plan to break almost immediately in the new year is now upon me. As I sit here looking back at the previous year, I wonder how much more I plan to resolve to change. I’ve already…
I cannot believe it’s already Christmas Eve. This has been the fastest year thus far in my life and it makes me both hopeful and fearful for what is to come. I’m excited for future growth, future experiences but nervous about the speed at which time passes the older I get. I always thought people…

Big thanks to everyone for their feedback, support, and constructive criticism when I posted a segment of this story a little over a week ago. Please note…
I watched the debate tonight, paying equal attention to the words of both candidates, doing my best to remain as open-minded and analytical as possible. However, I found myself very distracted. Not by the moderator or the audience, but rather by the constant play-by-play of my friends via Facebook. Literally, there was a new post…
