2015 in review

I’ve graduated; that’s the main excitement of 2015. Plus I’ve scrambled left and right while doing that  “post-graduation job search panic.” I managed to get started on self-publishing and dodged summertime dangers of wildfire season. Plus, I dove head first into my industry to the point I know enough to write the ins and outs at an internship at a magazine.

Now that I’m in grad school business plans are getting rearranged. Outside of job searches and bemoaning freelancing that went nowhere, I got even more into the sustainability movement than before last year. I have a worm composter. (Review with tips to come on that one.) Grew about six or so pounds of tomatoes and got basic sketches done for a greenhouse I’ll be working on during my free time. Not to mention, I got more into the idea of writing the cookbook friends keep giving me hints to get working on it. (Honestly, once I ace the baking part to look pretty and taste fantastic I will compile the thing.) I’m not physically the stereotype of an artist, but my spirit of connecting with nature is. Not that I’d complain, losing a few pounds to look like an artist is a major plus after holiday eating.

In addition to tree planting slash farming, a garlic business was added during the late summer and autumn. So in between writing and homework, I’m going to have my hands in a whole lot of dirt. Plus, small filming projects are underway; one of which is a documentary that is going through the last part of the research stage.

So there’s a revival of the blog here under the tagline, “when the writer isn’t writing.” I’ll be showing some of the non-writing things in my life.

So, let’s get started.
