Day 23

So, again, I've been slacking. I'm not sure what my problem is...Anyway, I am presently sitting in my room, obviously on my laptop, waiting for my stomach pains to quiet down so I can go to bed. I was just reading a bit of Harry, a History, which I haven't picked up in years, and I think I actually may finish it this weekend. It's quite good, and heart-warming to all those Harry Potter devotees out there like myself. I enjoy it, at the very least. It makes me really wish that I had been an active, working adult during the reign of Harry Potter. It will always be a forever-lasting story, but it's not like I can really do any active contributions to it as a fandom now - well maybe that's not true, but for the moment I'll believe that haha.
I do miss it...But at least I have my own story to focus on now. I'm obsessed with my own idea. Is that bad? I don't think so. I seriously can't stop thinking about it. It's so hard to let go of Adonis and Adamina, even just for a brief moment. And the Feroce clan...God I love them and all their crazy, blood-thirsty quirks hehe. And of course, Cornelia is great fun. Her name was changed just FYI. Even Bruce is cool. Such a simple, yet important character. GAH I'M SORRY, I'M SAYING TOO MUCH. None of you know what is going on right now. Good thing no one reads this lol
Well I think I'll head off now. My stomach pains are distracting me.

Cheers!

Day 22

Goodness!  It has taken me forever to write another post, hasn't it?  Day 22...about 22 days, at least, from Day 21, am I right?  
Anyway, spring quarter is over!  Finally, right?  It was taking ages to end...And that means that I'm done with my first year of college!  Crazy!  As of right now though, my mind is focused on less pressing matters.  I am currently obsessing over the Great Gatsby Soundtrack - it's a brilliant movie, if you haven't seen it, go see it now.  Or wait until it is officially available on DVD because it is out of theaters now, I think.  At least back in Fresno, it is.
That's right, I am back in Fresno for the summer.  I was just adding old pictures from past incredible adventures and ignoring the blazing heat that refuses to leave Fresnonians alone.  Good news, I finished editing and reading through my entire trilogy, for the most part.  I'm sure I'll look through it one more time before it is sent off anywhere, but the first book is basically ready!  I hope to give it to the agent that will be present at my writer's workshop camp, which is right around the corner now!
It is almost July.  In another 45 minutes it will be, at least.  I'm so pumped!!! My dad is taking my sister and I to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando for a few days in early September, and I can hardly contain my excitement and it's a while away!! Aahh I'm so ready to go home...Hogwarts here I come!
What is much closer is the writer's workshop camp though, and that should be really amazing.  I can NOT wait for it, really.  But I suppose that's all I will write for now.  Hopefully my dear readers weren't missing me  too much during my short-lived absence.

~Cheers!

Day 21

You know, I'm going to be completely honest...I am really curious as to who is reading this.  Because on almost every post, I have two views...Who are these two people?!?  I really wish to personally thank you for taking the time to read my viral diary (because, let's be honest, that's what a blog is right?).  Anyway - this is my personal thank you to you, reader.  Spread the word around!  My viral diary is pretty interesting, if I do say so myself...
Right now I am currently printing an English essay that I slightly procrastinated on (it's due in an hour) but I feel like it actually turned out alright! I was expecting a much worse outcome.
I had a great day yesterday with the engineering boys.  I always feel like Penny from the Big Bang Theory when I'm with them...though not really lol.  Never mind - it's just usually me, as the only girl, and a bunch of nerdyish guys, so I suppose it is slightly like the Big Bang Theory.  Speaking of which, I think there is a new episode of that on tonight...
I am still loving my job, though I made a slight error today.  Hopefully the Gas boss won't be tooo mad about that...
I also might be back on the boat for Grad School!  Idk though...I'm still unsure.  It really just depends on how I do on my GRE, which I'm worried will destroy me, but I think I've nearly decided on the schools.  New York University is still in the running, but now I'm adding University of Iowa, UC Irvine (which I've heard has a great writing program), maybe a school in Georgia, Emory, that apparently has a great program, and then probably a school in Washington State.  That's probably it.  I shouldn't apply to more than 6 anyway.  Maybe I'll take out the one in Georgia lol xp

~Cheers!

Still Day 20

Hey!  Forgot to mention: I GOT INTO THE CSU SUMMER ARTS WORKSHOP!  Yeee----aauuhh!
So - now, like I said before, all I've got to do is tell said person my feelings...lol that sounds lame.
And then my life will be completely complete! :D I can't wait for summer...

~Cheers!

Day 20

Hey y'all!  So I got to go home this weekend!  Isn't that crazy??? I never go home on the weekends - it's just too far.
My dad is doing so much better, though still weak and tired and barely starting his recuperation, but it was wonderful being able to see him.  And I hope that his recuperation will quicken now that he was able to see me. His work his amazing - they made him a "Get well shirt!" that they all signed and wrote silly messages on, and on of his coworkers was the one that picked me up and dropped me back at school!  Great, isn't it?  I want to find a workplace like that one day...
Speaking of which, I have decided (sort of) where I would like to end up eventually: New York City, Los Angeles, or Seattle.  I'm leaning more towards Seattle.  New York would be a great place to pursue my writing/publishing career, as would Seattle, I think.  I need to do more research.  New York isn't entirely the most expensive place, according to the one site I looked at, which was surprising.  Seattle was actually pretty expensive for certain things, but as it turns out, for renting an apartment in heart of the city, which is what I'd want to do I'm sure, NYC is by far the most expensive, LA is in the middle, and Seattle is the least expensive.  A one bedroom apartment in the city is only $1,400 a month apparently!  I could so do that...maybe LOL Anyway, that's so far ahead into the future...
I've also decided, most likely decided, that I don't want to go to Grad School anymore.  It would be totally worthless for me.  I have a job now, so my confidence in getting a writing job has heightened.  Besides, for writers, your GPA doesn't matter - it's all about your portfolio.  Your works of written art.  Don't tell my parents - they don't know I'm thinking of just sticking with my Bachelor's Degree, hitching up my bags, and moving to a big city.  YOLO....not really.  I hope I have the courage to accomplish it all.

~Cheers!

Day 19

So my dad is in the hospital.  It came out of nowhere.  He is currently suffering from an appendicitis infection, but he should be fine.  It will just take a few weeks, at least, for him to recover.  These past few days have just been hard on me, knowing that he is helpless in the hospital, while I am four hours South, having to act normal and pretend like this tragic event isn't happening.  Again, he will be fine - it's just that my family has never really gone through something like this before.  I mean, my mom used to get sick a lot, but not really like this.  Anyway, so that's what has been on the back, and a lot of the times at the front, of my mind this weekend.  He is gradually getting better - pray for him everyone and God will grant him a quicker recovery. <3
I haven't heard anything from the CSU summer arts workshop yet, and my eye is starting to twitch.  But I am managing the uncertainty alright - I just have no patience!  I have a few weeks left for them to decide whether to reject or accept me, so hopefully I'll find out soon.
My job is going really well!  I love the office, I fit right in.  They are my people - awkward, Harry Potter fanatics, hilarious, and just overall awesome - and passionate.  They are all passionate with what they do.  It's a greatly encouraging environment, if I do say so myself.  The only negative to it is that I don't get to spend any time with my friends around lunchtime - which really isn't a big deal at all haha.  I just never get to go to lunch with them!  They always forget me when they go, which is fine - I am in a different dorm, so it's hard to remember to contact me if I'm not around, ya know?
It's cloudy today, which I love.  I woke up pretty tired (for good reason, I had like six hours of sleep >.<), and now feel like I can take on the world.  It's something this kind of weather does to me - which is why I'm going to end up moving to northwestern Europe or like Washington State or something.  Clouds and rain give me strength for whatever reason.
Right now I really should be reading for my world literature class - I have about 70 pages to read by tomorrow morning.  Bleh - I guess I should go work on that.

~Cheers~

Day 18

I am really excited.  It seems like my life is coming together.  Well, slowly - a few things have happened that have made me think, "Maybe I can do this".
My story, "The Poet's Demise", is now online, for those who wish to read it.  Just go to this link here: http://pomonavalleyreview.com/currentissue.php and clink on the guy's face with PVR 7 on it.  Scroll down to page 67 and you'll see my story!  So that's obviously exciting, and I guess I am technically published, which is pretty dang awesome.  I also know exactly (well, almost exactly, I can't draw you see) what the covers to my books will look like, who I am dedicating each book to, what quotes I am putting in each book, aannndd how the books will be formatted.  Guess what readers??  My first book should be at least 430 pages long...Isn't that awesome for a first novel?!  I think it is...And my second book will end up being around 300.  It's so legit, is it not?  I plan to make my third book much longer than the second one, but we shall see.  Gaahh this is great.  Let's just hope that I will receive the acceptance email from the CSU summer arts program workshop, and my life will be complete!  And then, after all of that, maybe then, and only then, could I confidently tell said person what I have been hinting at in the last few posts...Theeenn my life would be complete :).

~Cheers!

Day 17

So my job is ridiculously awesome.  It is literally right where I belong.  I already get along well with everyone, and the best part is, I am doing something I am totally comfortable with and love doing.  Writing!  But one of the best things is that the entire office is full Harry Potter fanatics.  And they already said that I can be Potter Queen once the girl who has claimed that spot graduates.  How exciting...Potter Queen.  Anyway, when I announced today during the weekly meeting that I loved Harry Potter, everyone started cheering and clapping, and it was just super amazing and encouraging to know that people like me do exist...if that makes sense.  Maybe it's because I'm from Fresno, though I don't consider myself technically "from Fresno", I refuse to convince anyone of that, but ever since the start of high school I have had trouble finding people who I can connect with on a personal level.  I made about three friends like that in high school, overall.  Eh, it's high school anyway.  I really didn't like it at all...Which I guess is sad, because I've met people here, at this beautiful place called Cal Poly Pomona, that actually really enjoyed high school.  I find that concept very strange.  Anyway, it doesn't really matter because I am moving far from Fresno as soon as I can.  I will probably be getting an apartment close to CPP in just a year's time so that I can work at this lovely office, ASI's GAS Creative Group, over the summer.  Btw, I don't think any of them have hard feelings for me for ditching them this summer - maybe most of them just don't know.  Awh well, at least I'm accepted now!  Krista OUT

Day 16

I'm really enjoying my job!  I mean, I've only worked for two days, but seriously, it is an awesome job so far!  I found the right place :).  The only problem is that no one at the workplace knew that I would be unavailable to work over summer because I'll be home.  When they interviewed me, they never asked if I would be able to work over summer, and the application never said anything about it!  It's not really my fault, honestly...and my house in Fresno is like four and a half hours away!  It's not like I could commute or anything, and I couldn't up and buy an apartment now...but I think they will be able to manage.  It's not my problem anyway - that's one of my issues, I guess.  I have to be completely involved in everything lol.
Sooooo ooooohhhh I think I am going to follow in my best friend's footsteps...and I had said that last post...but now it is confirmed!  It will happen...if I don't chicken out, that is...
I'm listening to Feist right now and had just finished listening to the song "Say You Like Me" by We the Kings...in case someone was wondering.  Augh I am overusing ellipses!
We finished reading the Iliad in World Lit this morning - Achilles is a troubled soul.  Alright, I am out.

Day 15

Week Four of Spring Quarter is coming up!  I think...Yeah I'm pretty sure that it will be week four starting tomorrow.  It's hard for me to say - most of time, and the memories I make in that time period, jumble together into one big blur, once I pass them by and am looking back on them.  Anyway!  I just watched Grimm - it's taking a positive turn!  I sincerely love that show...I swear I do more than watch TV though.  It seems like every time I am making a blog post it is about a TV show or my story.  Whoa we English majors are cray cray.  Wow, 'cray' is considered a word now - it doesn't have an angry red line underneath it.  That's kind of sad.
So I am going through a small internal struggle - and I want to tell someone about them, but yet I don't.  They are very silly, whimsical struggles, and I don't think I would even know how to bring them up to someone even if I tried - most of you could probably guess what they are.  They are the struggles that most people undergo, but girls especially stress over to an obsessive point.  I'm basically just thinking of following in my best friend's footsteps, but I'm not sure when would be the right time to do it, or how...It's just bothering me because, oddly enough, I don't think anyone knows about theses little struggles of mine, though I really thought I was quite bad at concealing this sort of stuff!  Well, that's a decently-sized post.  I'd appreciate it if more people commented!  Thanks everyone!

~Cheers!

Day 14

So...Bombs...Great.  Why??  And whom??  Look, I'm sorry if somehow we offended you, bomber person, but seriously, a bomb is quite an unnecessary reaction.  My cousin was a mere mile away from the Boston Marathon finish line, and I'm sure she wasn't the only that was shook up from the catastrophe.  Can't we all just get along?  As friends?  Peace, love and all that hippy stuff?  No?  Alright - then it's settled.  I'm moving to Switzerland.  No one messes with them, they are nice and lovely people, it's in Europe (and who doesn't like Europe?), and they have amazing chocolate!

~Cheers!

Day 13

Sometimes I want to just rip my heart out, you know?  Wow, what a way to start...I swear I'm not depressed or anything.  Just a bit introspective.  Damn, if I was depressed, after everything good that has happened to me in the past few weeks, I would be sure to bury myself in a hole for being so selfish.  Anyway, I just don't understand how one's feelings - their emotions, pleasures and whimsies - can decide the fate of one's entire mood, persona and even existence.  I mean, who cares if a guy doesn't like you back? (I wish I didn't - it ails me all too much).  I'm most certain it's not the end of the world, there are people dying on the streets as you read this!  But in all honesty, we can't help but think about these feelings that pulse within our veins at invidious intensities much beyond our control.  I am starting to realize just how invidious I really am - it's kind of silly.  Anyway, it would make things - like simple friendships, work, school and life in general - much simpler if we could all just choose to maybe take our hearts out of our chests for a brief period, or turn off the pulsating emotions that invade our thoughts too often?  Like in Once Upon a Time - they can take their hearts out and still live (though it really isn't very beneficial at all), or Pirates of the Caribbean.  Davy Jones knows what's up.  Well, I guess I'll end there.  Someone comment on this, it's quite deep, and I'd like some feedback!

~Cheers!

Day 12

Heeeyy readers!  I have another guess what for you all - do you remember that story that I had been freaking out about?  "The Poet's Demise"?  I had sent it to the Pomona Valley Review, and had been worried that the line spacing was all wrong and the editors wouldn't read it?  I'm so silly...of course they read it!  And they accepted it too! :)  So, I will be published in an online magazine by April 26th, which is next Friday.  Pretty exciting huh?  I can hardly believe it...I mean, as a writer, you think and dream and wish for this kind of stuff, but you don't actually think it is going to happen.  Writers are so optimistic...Anyway, it doesn't necessarily mean anything big for my long-time career.  I don't even think I'll be getting money from it (which I honestly could care less about at this point - I did get a job so...xP).  The email, with my acceptance, did say that the story would be emailed to all supporters, editors and contributors of the magazine, if they so chose to read it, which I guess could be super  beneficial, but for right now, I'm happy with what I've been granted.  Now all I need is for the CSU Summer Arts program to accept me into their workshop this summer, and I will be the happiest woman in the world.  Well, maybe not, but I'd be really, really happy and excited.  Well, I guess that's it for this post.  I will talk to you all soon!  Check out my story on April 26th!  Just go to pomonavalleyreview.com, click on 'current issue', which is PVR 7, and look for my name and story title: "The Poet's Demise."  It's kind of intense and deep for a short story, but I guess that's what the magazine wanted, if nothing else!  Thank you for all your support!

~Cheers!

Day 11

Hey ya'll!  Guess what?!?  I got the job that I had applied to! :D And it's a writing job - exciting huh?  I feel like it won't be like work to me, but I guess we shall find it...I doubt it.  I know I will enjoy it, all while gaining experience in what I wish to do when I am older.
Also!  I officially figured out today, like five minutes ago as a matter of fact, what exactly the covers of my three books will look like.  The ones in the trilogy.  They should be legit :).  They will be drawn, not by me, oh dear no one would buy them if that was the case, and will be connected to the plot of that particular book.  I refuse to take photographs for them though - reading a book is about visualizing the characters how you think they are, not because of how some random-a** model on the front cover looks.  I apologize, I never warned anyone of a potential rant!
Anyway, still haven't heard any word from Pomona Valley Review...but they haven't issued the latest issue yet, number 7, which is the one that I had submitted work to, so I suppose I'm still in the running!
Update on thy life: I have started watching Game of Thrones - it's really awesome!  Don't listen to people when they first describe it to you.  It's not purely a porno.  Okay it's been said.  Good.  It has a great story line and just doesn't hold back with the small bit of adult content that it has - it makes it more real, in my opinion. Either way!  The story itself is solid and addicting and inspiring - I sincerely get some inspiration for my next series (six books, twist on modern fairytale, that's all that will be said for now), which I should probably start writing this summer...Maybe not haha.  I mean, if you're a fairytale/fantasy nerd, I would watch Game of Thrones.  It is quite appealing for those geeks out there (like moi! hehe).  Fantasy geek and proud right here!  Maybe that could be combined?  Feek?  Never mind, scratch that...lol

~Cheers!

Day 10

I am officially back at Pomona!  For all those who were wondering...
I had a wonderful break filled with editing, Panera bread, and movies galore.  Warm Bodies is quite a marvelously good movie - I really liked it :).  I think my book is nearly finished - with editing, I mean - it's been completed for quite some time.  I won't send it off until the end of the summer, at the earliest, though.  I'd like to experience this writing workshop camp first, and see if I can snag a few offers there.  A New York agent will be there, and I'm sure I already told all of you that, but heck, it's an important piece of information, might as well reiterate it, right?  Well currently I am sitting in my dorm room, listening to Spotify, and reorganizing my desk before Spring Quarter starts.  And yes, it starts tomorrow, by the way.  Wish me luck on the coming quarter!  Once I complete it, I will have survived an entire year of college.  Yippee!  Easier than surviving high school, I reckon.

~Cheers!

Day 9

So I understand that this post, Day 9, is waaay past the actual Day 9, considering it's been over two weeks since I posted Day 8.  And I just want to say - I'm sorry - for those that actually read this, that is.
Anyway, what has conspired since the last time I posted?  Spring break started - my GPA dropped a bit, which was slightly depressing, but I still maintained good grades in my classes.  I've been obsessively listening to Silverstein ever since my friend Kevin introduced me to them, which I guess is usual behavior for me - when it comes to me and music, that is.  I was called back for an interview at the on-campus writing job I applied to, which is super exciting!  Though it still doesn't mean I'll get it...Wish me luck readers!! :)
Theeenn oh!  I submitted my information for the CSU summer arts writing workshop in Monterey Bay in July.  Oh dear Godric's Hollow do I hope that I get into that.  That program, my friends, could be my big break...Well maybe not, but it will definitely get me connections in the publishing world, which will more than help to get me my "big break".  I guess I'll go to bed now.  I'll just accept the fact that he's not going to text me back...*sigh*.  That's cool, I guess.  Alright, night my darling friends!

~Cheers!

Day 8

OMG just watched the latest Once Upon a Time episode and dear goodness, that is some crazy stuff right there.  The writers know what they are doing, that's for sure.  I just hope that it doesn't end up like Lost and all have been a dream or however Lost ended...
This week has just begun, but I feel like I am pretty on top of things thus far.  I read all of my reading for American Literature, and it's not even due until Wednesday.  I might just watch Once Upon a Time again.  Do I have a problem?  Probably...
Anyway, I am wide awake for some reason, though I went to bed late last night and woke up early - and by late, I mean two in the morning, so actually late. What was I doing, you ask?  Why - listening to Silverstein and editing my story, of course!  What else?  I probably ended up with like five and a half hours of sleep, but yet I press on as wide awake as ever!  Strange how I can be more tired on days where I get eight - nine hours of sleep, and be "refreshed" on days when I get barely enough.  Ah well - the weird nature of our bodies baffles us all at the best of times.  Have a wonderful night all!

~Cheers!

"Knowledge is better learned than taught."  - William Corley

Day 7

Saturday night - listening to Ed Sheeran and Silverstein and watching the new episode of Grimm.  This weekend has been quite slow indeed.  But at least tomorrow I can ride my horse, which it feels like I haven't done in a while.  My last week of new instruction is this coming week, which I suppose is exciting.  Spring break is on the way, though I am unsure I want it to come.  I know I'm going to miss my wonderful friends here in Pomona, and spring break will seem so long back in boring old Fresno.  At least I will be given a break, with no homework, and will get to spend some time with my family.  I'll just bother my Pomona friends with too many texts and lame Facebook messages!  Happy almost finals week everyone!
 

~Cheers!

Day 6

So it's Monday again - blah.  No one likes Mondays.  And it's week 9!  Almost done with the quarter, almost done!  I want it to end without the finals that come with the ending though :(.  I am currently writing in my journal, which is always nice.  Writing has always been my release, for obvious reasons.  The only good thing about this week is that, surprisingly, I don't have much work to do.  I guess all of that will sneak up to me next week...if not on the last week, then definitely on finals week.  Awh well, I am almost done, so no need to complain.  I actually DON'T want to finish my American Literature class...I love my professor and the class is very informative, inspiring and eye-opening.  If you like classic literature and a professor that teaches like Robin Williams in the Dead Poet's Society, that is.  And who doesn't?  Anyway, I think I'm going to visit my friends in the stomach flu-infested dorm now...I don't have much else to do anyway.  So why not?  I'll just make sure to wash my hands feverishly.

~Cheers!

Day 5

My dad came to visit me today!  Which was nice, for obvious reasons.  Well maybe not so obvious to those that don't understand that I am about 4 and a half hours away from my home back in Fresno - though I truly do consider my dorm here in Pomona more of my home than there, but we won't tell my parents that.  I am currently sitting on a large king-size bed, listening to the credit music of the last Harry Potter film (tear), and debating on going to sleep soon.  I know - lame - it's only midnight!  Well slightly past midnight...What can I say?  I'm a crazy partier.  Blogger is saying that 'partier' is not a word, but I am going to be a rebel and keep it - suck it angry red line.  Anyhow, I will be going to the horse races tomorrow with my dad and my best friend Patty Paz, which should be awesome :) I haven't been to the races in forever!  (Oh also - in case anyone was wondering - I think that my short story situation from a few days ago ended up being alright lol.  We shall see if they accept it!  Early April is when the results shall come in!)  Have a nice night - err - morning everyone!

~Cheers!

Day 4

It's Friday!  Finally right?  So it's over 80 degrees today and I find that to be awfully hot for the beginning of March, but it's kind of nice at the same time.  I appreciate the fact that I can start wearing cute clothes again. I go back and forth - I hate sweating and being really hot, but I do enjoy warm-weather clothes.  They are much cuter after all.
Darn it Spotify...enough of the commercials already!  Not that it matters - I've already heard all of the songs on my Spotify list over a thousand times...That was an extreme exaggeration but it's still pretty close.  The Lumineers are playing now.  In case you were wondering.  Now I am off to a day filled with wonderful, blissful nothingness!  I am more than likely going to a play later tonight, so that should at least be cool.  It will just be nice to have a relaxing weekend with my family, granted that my sister's pink eye doesn't get worse! :(
Have a marvelous day, ya'll! (I'm sorry, I know I am a poor excuse for a cowgirl, but apparently that is more  politically correct than 'guys').

~Cheers!

Day 3

So it's 10:33 am and I should really be studying...or something.  I just got out of American Literature class and once again, it has proved its brilliant worth.  My professor is quite intriguing and clearly knows what he's talking about.  Anyway, we just finished our discussion on Frederick Douglass and now are moving onto to Whitman - I've heard he's brilliant so we'll see.  Next things on my to-do list for today: 1). Lunch with Patty, who is a charming young woman indeed,  2). Ride my horse, which should be fun,  3). Study (bleck!  I was hoping to avoid this one...but no matter how hard I try, I will not be able to move time ahead of Thursday at 3:00 so I can skip my History of Asian Art quiz), and 4). Read, write, and do other anti-school productive things like that.  I hope everyone has a more exciting day than me!

Day 2

So today was quite uneventful indeed - slightly depressing huh?  I'm sure that when I go to visit my friends in Montecito, the excitement will pick up.  They are quite grand people.
But!  On a happy note, I did turn in my job information - so we shall see if I get the call next week!  Keep your fingers crossed!  Besides dragging myself to class, (I was happily surprised with a not-so-great grade on my Philosophy midterm...), and turning in my potential-job-candidate information, I was busy fretting over the condition of my submitted story!  I dearly hope that Pomona Valley Review bothers to read it, because it has a good message to tell.  I swear I had no idea that all spacing was not erased!  *Wheezes slightly*   Please read it PVR!  I should really take a chill-pill, I'm getting out of hand...

~Cheers!

Day 1 Still...

So I said I would write again in a few hours, and I believe it has been more than a few hours.  I finished my cover letter, thanks for asking!  I hope that it ends up paying off - we shall see tomorrow!
I spent most of the day writing my short story for the Pomona Valley Review submission, however, and perfecting my poems that I am sending into the magazine as well.  I realized only too late that my story may not have been in the completely correct format, but it was just one little flaw!  I did not get rid of all spacing, like the magazine had asked, but I did everything else correctly!  In my defense, I had thought that the spacing was gone...I'm not really sure why I had thought that.  I think it was because there had been a little dot in the "no spacing" box...Well how cruelly misleading Word!  Anyway, I hope the editors read it anyway because I, for one, thought it had turned out to be a mighty fine story indeed.  I'll divulge the title in the next post which will most likely be tomorrow!  Now I am off to read some Frederick Douglas, if I can manage to pause Ed Sheeran, that is.

~Cheers!

Day 1

Hello everyone!  Though you may not know who I am - I know who you are.  Yes - you're a reader, an inquirer, an artist, a fellow writer, a mathematician, an engineer - but all of you joined this blog for a specific purpose.  My purpose was to give myself a way to delve deeper into my most inner feelings and doubts through written (well typed) word and well, to give myself a place to either rant or praise without care.  I shall post again soon, though when, I cannot say exactly.  It will most likely be in a few hours or so - but for right now, I really need to get to work on my cover letter!  

~Cheers!
