28 Days to Go!

Summer is well on it's way as the second week winds down! The last 11 days have whizzed by in a whirlwind of working 8 a.m. - 5 p.m, moving into my temporary apartment, and preparing things for the big move in 28 days! We are getting close! I booked the moving truck this week, and filled out over 10 job applications! Productive, yes! Excited, even more so!

In other news, with classes over, I have had time to start reading again and start working on my own writing. Which has been rather nice, I missed being able to do this. On that note, if you want a good read, check out "The Carrie Diaries," by Candace Bushnell. Normally I wouldn't give shout-outs to television shows. However, this books is about Carrie Bradshaw BEFORE Sex and the City. It's written from Carrie's point of view back when she was in high school. It's written more for teen/young adult/adult audiences. However, even if you have not seen the show, the book would still be enjoyable! I felt that the author did a great job, and the ending is....well, guess you will just have to read it ;)

Ok, back to work I go! Hope the summer is off to a great start for all of you! Stay warm, and out of trouble... and get out there and make your own stories this summer ;)

38 Days and Counting!

Finals are over, school is out, and a mere 38 days remain until my moving truck departs (though I was ready yesterday)! It will be a busy time, as I will be working right up until the day before I leave. However, because I just moved last week from my old apartment and into a temporary one, most of my stuff is already packed!

The next few weeks will be work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hopefully between now and then my computer will be getting fixed as well! Then of course there will be other fun summer things going on, and, a lot of writing!

Speaking of which, back to work I go! Until then though...

Happy

Today I was bouncing around the apartment with Heather, my best friend, after she got off work and talking about our days and laughing, and I came to a realization. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life! It's an amazing feeling! Even through there is still a lot to sort through and figure out. Houses to find (though we might have found one today), jobs to get, and other important things that can be somewhat stressful at times. I truly am happy! :) I also realized last night that I can officially say that I am moving here in one month! ONE MONTH! Life is really on it's way!


Creatively (and happily) yours,

Finally in Florida...Even if Only For a Little While!

I am currently back in Florida for a visit! I am here for Heather's graduation (so proud of her), and for job interviews and house hunting! It will be a busy week! I am here until May 8th; and I want that time to go SLOW! I don't want to leave... not in a week, not ever! However, it's a wonderful feeling to know that this time when I leave, I will be returning in a u-haul! :)

Things are going good! Heather graduates in the morning, and then we will be celebrating with family and friends. Later this week I will be job hunting and all business. Though one day I am running away to the beach with someone ;) Very excited for that day!

For now though, I must get some sleep as there is a busy day ahead of me! Goodnight all!

Writing Programs

Things are still busy and soggy here in Kansas! The rain has been coming down quickly the last few hours. I love it as I am most productive during thunderstorms! Currently, I am investigating new writing programs in Tallahassee, Fl. Part of moving means transferring from the Kansas Chapter of SCBWI to the the Florida Chapter. It's exciting, but I will miss my friends from the Kansas chapter! There are a lot of good memories there. Yet when one door closes another one opens; and that's where the adventures are!
I am also looking into joining The Tallahassee Writers Association, TWA for short. This really excites me as I would be living in the same town as a program. Usually I have to travel to get to the events; but this would put me right there in the middle of the action!
Overall, I am making progress in the way of preparing for the big move. I am excited to be headed down there for interviews in 21 days! That and I really miss a few people there!

Until next time...
