I think about this a lot. I used to print out or cut out my clips right when they first came out. Now I am lucky if I even pick up the paper! Thank goodness at least half of my writings are...

I have a bag of papers, books, envelopes and random oddities sitting at my feet. Half of the junk deals with my writing career outside of my job. The rest?

My records aren't accurate on any level of the word, but I am getting there. What I have found is that I have had much better months as compared to others. My sonic boom was in June, when I was completely and utterly - UNEMPLOYED! Ahhh... how I miss that! And yet,...

You'll never make it out alive! Well, it can actually be a really cool job, rewarding and great experience.
