News to report.
I am very excited to report my first book publication.
My poetry collection is being published.
It is at the publisher, but should be out on the market soon!
June 6/05
My book has in fact been released. I have an excerpt at the top of
this page for the promotional site.
I was recently emailed
by a gentleman.
In this email he asked me to write a childrens book for his son.
I am still in the process of getting all the necessary information.
It is not every day you recieve such a request.
However this will be my first paying job thus far.
I am excited , but nervous as well.
I have never taken on a book project before.
However I think I have the knowledge now to get the job done.
I will have to wait for his thoughts and notes before I begin.
I look forward to expanding my writing career.

Currently I am all
over the board. I have had some more of my poetry and writing published. I am looking into work opportunities. I was contacted
to write a press release. I wrote my own so I agreed. I will be finishing that project towards the end of the month. I have
agreed on a price that the customer was happy with. I look forward to my future endeavours.

I just recieved my payment for my review
of the Dakapa Handbook. It came by mail this morning. It is a bobble head of the author. Actually it is quite
cute. I have started a kind of display of my published work in my office area. I have added this as one of my
showcased pieces. I am hoping to be able to add more pieces as my writing career blooms.

Yesterday, I was contacted for two jobs. One is to re-do a website. The other
one is to write a press release and rewrite some articles.
I am very pleased that my all my work is finally paying off. I hope
I can do these jobs well.
This morning I received an email informing me of my poetry being published
online at Pink Mouse. I am also very pleased about that.
I hope I continue to get more proposals and exposure.
April 10th,2006
I just recieved an email that one of poems will be
published in the April/May issue of WriterAdvice. You can view it by going to www.writeradvice.com . You will find it on the cover page towards the bottom under a reader writes.
I am still writing and have had some good leads and
some things that may be published. I am still not making the money I would like too. I am hoping that will come soon
too with exposure.
I am happy to be writing again after being sick and
having the anxiety attacks.
This is
some new information. I will be part of this exciting opportunity to have my work featured on a radio talk show. I will
be tuning in tonight and I hope the response is outstanding. I look forward to it.

I have just had my poem, "Sleeping Alone" published by Events Quarterly.
It should be published in early January. I am also waiting to start an advice column with the Martini-Lounge and another project
with an ESL teacher.
November 26th, 2006
I have finally started my job editing scripts
for radio with the ESL teacher. I just finished a few the other day. He is pleased with my work and has even given
me a title. I am now a Dialogue Supervisor. I hope it goes well..because it could lead to more work and better
payment. Right now the pay is quite low...but at least it's money.
I am still waiting to hear about my advice
column. I sent them an email..and they should be getting back to me soon. One of my stories is being published
too...so I am excited about that. With the holidays coming I am glad work is starting to pick up. We were supposed
to go to my father-in-laws yesterday...but my boyfriend went instead. I was tired. He picked up some stuff that
his dad wanted us to have.
He is moving soon and can't take it with
him. It is funny because some of the stuff we actually bought him as gifts. He gave us the toaster oven and it
was only used once. Well at least I got a toaster oven. He gave us some lamps too...for the bedroom which we also
bought him. He is moving in with a neighbor for a couple of months and then he is thinking about moving up north.
I think that is a mistake but it is his life.

The biggest news is that my boyfriend and I were finally married on August 23rd. It was
a beautiful outdoor ceremony and then the reception at a nearby hall. I thought the whole thing was wonderful and all our
family and friends attended...
