I'm still pretty behind in graduate school... bringing up the rear. I'm working with DVR to get a job. I'm not sure how all that will shake out. I think we have divergent ideas about what would be good for me.
I joined the W1S1 website, that's write one submit one. So I should be writing and subbing short stories. Not really happening this week. We'll see. Since I've gotten published, I've gotten more into writing and submitting stuff. It can be addictive!
It's been raining cats and dogs all day long. Really windy out too. Still winter!
My Grad School Adventures. This blog is to relieve the stress of school and life. This is writing therapy. It is also a forum for my creative adventures: writing and crafting.

December News
I'm actually caught up in my Shamanism course, just have to type everything up. Caught up in Ecology too. The rest I'll work on this week.
I'm almost ready for Christmas. I am getting a few things in the mail, then it's time to wrap gifts! We are putting up the (faux) tree and decorating it tomorrow.
I'm learning. The question isn't "Will I create today?", but "What will I create today?" Some difference!

"Lifelines" Book Party and updates
We had our "Lifelines" Book Party yesterday. We only had five guests, but we had a great time anyway! I sold two of my books and another one today. One of my mom's friends told ghost stories (like on Coast to Coast radio) about UFO's. Spooky!
I did Reading #6 for Runes Practicum and sent it off to the person who requested it. I'm so behind in school I don't know if I'll ever catch up. :( We have a lot to do for Ancient Rites this month, meditations and papers, etc. I did finish my embroidery for Buddhism, still have to write the play to go with it. Still lost in Ecology, still haven't written my essay for Tarot.
I've been doing so much marketing and chats, planning and blog writing for Lifelines, haven't had time for schoolwork. Not only that, I had a three-day DVR class right before Thanksgiving. I made a couple friends at least. Jed has been watching football today, now he's going to watch The Two Towers, one of my favorite movies.

Fall Update
School: I have the week off, fall break. This is definitely a good thing for a number of reasons. One, my computer is giving me grief. Two, you'll see below under life. Three, I've got to set up for the kiddies for Halloween at the Convention center tomorrow afternoon. I'm thinking about dressing up as a kitty for Halloween. I've just got to figure out the ears...
I've been working on an embroidery project for Buddhism for a month now. That's way too long. All those french knots are really getting to me. Ancient Rites, the Shamanism program I'm still in is going well; we're on the second year of that. Tarot is going slowly. Runes Practicum is going very slowly. And I'm completely lost in Ecology. Such is life!
Life: I'm getting published! The online poetry group I'm involved in is publishing a book of poetry with a small press out of Canada. Not only that, I'm getting published in my grad school's journal, five poems and two or three pictures! This is so awesome! Mom says she wants to buy 15 copies of the poetry collection, hard copy. Wonderful support! Well, we are finalizing the book, should be out soon. The journal is going to come out Mid-November.
My boyfriend is finally admitting he's my boyfriend, so that's a step in the right direction. Of course it helped that I announced I was his girlfriend! Life is strange. :)

The Doldrums
It's been a crappy couple of weeks. I don't know exactly what's wrong. Family tensions. Obligations. A garage sale. I haven't done my homework for a couple weeks. Just can't seem to concentrate. I've done crafts and a little bit of writing, but that's about it. And mindless surfing the web has been happening too. :( It's like I'm in the Doldrums with no wind and no direction. Not that there hasn't been anything good. I stayed up until 4am talking to my brother last night. Mostly we talked about our extended family and school. I started typing up a play that I thought I was never going to touch again. It's called The Victorians. I'm not depressed, just very scattered.
