So yay I’ve been a grad for
almost three months. Boo to the fact that life has me busy and such though.
Things I’ve noticed since
graduation:
1. I love my internship at
the magazine more now that I have extra time to write articles. (Wasn’t aware
of that? Here’s a link
to the articles I’ve done.)
2. There are going to be
months in the future where working your butt off is for a paycheck around $100.
(No, not fair but it’s better than nothing.)
3. I’m more thankful for
that Accounting 101 class. Also, I am really glad that business math is the one
thing that doesn’t make me confused out of my mind. (Says a person who is near
tears when a decimal or fraction problem is part of homework.)
4. Ebay is my best friend
during spring-cleaning.
5. The count down on my
education contract is leaving me panicked – and therefore grabbing every freelance
job I can get a grasp on so my self-employment counts as legitimate work in the
funder’s eyes. (And therefore I’m not stuck with a job that feels like making a
deal with the devil.)
Since graduation I’ve
managed to get one more book published (you can find it here), taught two
classes on essential oils, and got around to start writing that cookbook I keep
saying I’ll write. Just being able to write and catch up on neglected fixes is
what I’m enjoying about being a grad. Plus there’s been time to get
reacquainted with sketching, crafting, sewing, and a handful of other things.
(Some of which are going to be in a shop soon.) Nothing is normally ideal but
the pace of life at the moment has me content and ready to dive back into
blogging.
I’m once again stricken with
the “I have too many ideas” syndrome so bear with me as I work on them. While I
work on getting the next few posts ready you can catch up on the blog-a-books
or see what I’ve been up to on Tumblr or even on the internship.
By the way, here’s a short
list of in the works projects that are on the publishing list for the summer.
S. Holmes I (You can still
read the second draft here.)
Magic Antics – book #3 in
the Fae Favors arc.
Mythology Sequels – A series
of tales inspired by the idea of ancient gods and goddesses coping in the
modern era. Number one in the series is called Last Chance, featuring an
escaped Loki and Sigyn’s reincarnated form.
And coming Winter of 2015:
The Child Who Feared Santa – a revised version of a short I did a few years
back with some illustrations to make it into a children’s book.
Keep an eye out. This summer
and autumn is going to be a busy one with publishing and art.
