My Acceptance Letter from Last Night Was for a Story about Ideas for

The Last Two and a Half Days of My Life Have Consisted of Nothing More than

Working (26.5 +5.25 hours), driving, sleeping and the occasional checking of personal e-mail. I am WIPED! So I apologize for not blogging, but being an editor on deadline is not all it's cracked up to be. If someone ever offers you a position, consider it, and then run screaming toward the...

Tractor-Trailer In the front seat I sat armed with our road-trip-survival-kit—the United States road atlas, a flashlight with fresh batteries, three cases of CDs to entertain us on our lengthy drive, and enough snacks and candy to keep the dentist in business till he...

How Desperate Can a Writer Be? A Mish-Mosh of My Day....

Do you ever find yourself doing quick tasks for instant gratification? Like writing very short articles or sidebars, even if they only pay 5 bucks or so? I did just that tonight.

I am So Sorry Bloggers...

I did not mean to leave you hanging like that --if any of you even noticed! I just realized, about an hour after I had left, that I did not even tell you guys I was leaving on vacation with my boyfriend and his family. Hope you all missed me at least somewhat---otherwise, I'd almost feel obligated... Sign in to see full entry.

If I were writing a book instead of blogging all this time,

I most likely would have at least one completed work. Don't you think? How many would you have? But guess what? I am not quitting blogit! I'm taking you guys with me to stardom... Somebody in my county just got her first book published. That is inspiring, so maybe I will be one of the next few in... Sign in to see full entry.
