It just isn't keeping my interest any more. If you want to hear more form me, I'll be posting as often as I can on blog on blogger: http://atreegrowsinbrooklyn-kasthu.blogspot.com/https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Kasthu/510497In the New Year I have a job interview as an assistant in the literary division at William Morris. On the phone, the HR rep told me that I’d be expected to take an editing test, which I’ve never done before, and which is necessary for them to consider whether or not they want to continue with the application process.

It means taking time off from work, but I can handle it. I still have that interview scheduled, this time for Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. My company has been doing a lot of hiring lately, and hopefully I'll be among those that are hired! My writing class is going well, though I skipped class last week to do laundry:-). But I still did the assignment and sent it in to the professor. So when I...
