The Year in Recap

It’s been a pretty big year for me. I’m in a loving, committed relationship, I graduated college, my dog died, we have two furry additions to the family, I was accepted to grad school…

Growing up, I wasn’t what anyone would call an Honor Student. Yet, here I am, in a national honor society, with Magna Cum Laude on my degree. Man, if all those teachers could see me now. And you know what the weirdest part is? It wasn’t hard, it was just hard work. I just woke up one day and cared.

Some Writing Assignments

I am taking two classes this semester. I have my required Core I: Theories and Techniques of Writing class as well as Fiction Workshop and I’m honestly looking forward to this semester. Both classes look like they are going to be right up my alley and will be a lot of fun.

I was talking with my mother’s friend last week and she asked me if I were being challenged in the program. It’s been one week and the only thing I know for certain is that I hate ice breakers.

DelThis week I have to write my life in 2-3 pages and a piece which distinguishes myself as my Self and myself as a Writer, which I will post here so that every one can view my revision process.

I am still promoting the fact that if I get up to 100 followers on Twitter and 100 likes on Facebook I will start sharing more of my work. Specifically I will share the first chapter of Hannah of Many Hats (a middle grade novel I’ve been working on for a while now), and I will even include the chapter art.
