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,…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
November has been one of those months where I feel as if I have been doing a lot but accomplishing little. I’ve been very busy with multiple projects, yet if someone stopped me now to ask me what I’m working on, it may take me a few moments to come up with an answer that…
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…
I’ve finally hit my stride with NaNoWriMo. The habit has been formed and I’ve found the will power to sit down every night and pump out my word quota for the day. Inali’s future is taking shape. She’s developing a personality and a purpose. A secondary character has been successfully introduced and will soon become…
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,…
