Finally Settled

After a very very VERY long hiatus from writing, during which much happened, I'm finally prepared to settle down and begin again. This particular post will have no article attached to it as I have not been writing (at least nothing public), shame on me. However, the photo attached is the first ray of hope for a fresh start! While I have been away, I moved into my boyfriend's co-op (poor him). He was kind enough to give me my very own bookcase, which was filled in less than 10 seconds. He also gave me this fabulous little wall space, against which my childhood desk fit perfectly and upon which my Bachelors degree looks fabulous -- if I do say so myself. So, now that this Promised Land of Creativity is more or less settled, what's on the agenda? First, and foremost, I'll be editing the first 2/3 of my young adult fantasy novel so that I can finish it and start agent-hunting. I know I told myself I wouldn't edit it, but so much of it has to change in order for me to reach my desired ending, that there simply is no way around it. Trust me. It'll work out. Second, I have a fabulous article pitch that I'm going to start in on for a very prestigious website. That's all I'm willing to reveal at this time, but keep your eyes peeled. Third, I'm going to remember that every experience, good and bad, is a story in and of itself and I plan to utilize these experiences to my fullest advantage. Fourth, I'm going back to graduate school! Regarding grad school, I am certain I will learn much, read much, write much, and experience much. I am so looking forward to it. I hope to intermittently be able to post some of my graduate writings here, for your reading pleasure. That said, I'm off to achieve my four points, much like my political idol, James K. Polk. Later gators!
