PEOPLE ARE IMPRESSED BY WRITERS, EVEN AMATEUR ONES

While I was job hunting this last time around one thing that kept getting attention from possible employers was my writing credential. Sure my education and experience were noticed, but they all seemed to be really impressed that I had sold articles and my story. It was something that really set me... Sign in to see full entry.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME

Did you all miss me? I'm back from my little trip. As always it was fun, but I am just relieved to be home. I don't sleep well in hotel beds and the bath tubs in most hotels are just horrible. So I am glad to be home in nice relaxing surroundings where I can take it easy. The Balloon Festival was... Sign in to see full entry.

ARE YOU GONNA MISS ME?

I had enough of it all and am leaving. Gonna go out of town for a few days to the balloon festival. I've not been doing too much blogging lately, so most likely it'll not be noticeable if I am gone for a little bit. Should be fun though. Get away from all the stress of life for a bit. Of course I... Sign in to see full entry.

WILL THIS BE THE FIRST YEAR IT HAPPENS?

I had my hopes up last year that we wouldn't see any ignorant anti-Halloween speech, but it still slipped in. So far this year has been looking good. Either those who wish to bash Halloween with leis and propaganda have decided to not look foolish here, or maybe they have seen the light and realize... Sign in to see full entry.

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY

Had to spend much of the day getting the mess from yesterday cleaned up. I am worn out and ready to just collapse. It is just one of those times where a bunch of crap all happened at once, instead of little by little. But we are dealing with it all and figuring out how to get things back on track...

I AM HAVING A REALLY, REALLY BAD DAY

I am almost afraid to do much of anything for the rest of the day.just in case something else ends up going wrong and screwing everything up. I have been working so hard to pull my life together and get us caught up from my time being unemployed. Of course all was looking good and it seemed as... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST SOLD MY SECOND STORY

This time I sold my story to a print magazine out of the UK called Forgotten Worlds. It should be in one of their issue with-in the next three months. One more I am not getting much, but at this level a big part of getting it all up and going is to get my name out there and get my stories in print... Sign in to see full entry.

ALREADY GETTING MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME TOGETHER

We went shopping this evening and of course I had to go and spend time looking at the Halloween stuff. I found some latex gauntlets that I really liked and am now basing my whole costume this year around. For the most pat I can use pieces form older costume that I have, but I still need to get a few... Sign in to see full entry.

HALLOWEEN IS EVERYWHERE

All the stores I worked at today were set up for Halloween. The season is here and I think it is going to be a good one. I am just really, really looking forwards to Halloween this year. I guess part of that is the last two years I have been out of a job during this season and that has put a damper... Sign in to see full entry.

THE STORES ARE FINALLY PUTTING OUT THE REAL HALLOWEEN STUFF

Was out and about shopping today and saw the real Halloween stuff finally getting put out. I have no clue why the Halloween candy gets to go out first, since that is the last thing you need to get. Anyway, as always a whole bunch of high priced items I would love to get but can't. A few amusing new... Sign in to see full entry.
