‘Tis the season!

I think I can safely correlate my lack of regular posts with time spent with my wonderful partner. The closer we are, the less likely I am to do anything that I ought to. She’s here to stay, though. So I gotta start running and writing again. Starting in ’09. Promise.

However, a few noteworthy things have happened recently. I bought a new car a couple days ago, which is amazing. I am totally smitten with this fine piece of German engineering and could not be happier with an automobile. It’s such a sweet ride. And I turned 21! It’s so weird, yet so great. I’ve yet to be in a bar or get really shitfaced. All in good time, I suppose. And me, my brother, and my partner made a snowman today. A really incredible one. It’s a pirate. Fierce.

And maybe the most exciting thing of all, my creative writing teacher asked if I’d be willing to submit that story I wrote to our local lit magazine. So it’s possible I could be a published author within a handful of months. It’s just a small-time rag, but it’s a step in the right direction. I’m happy about that. Ideally I’d love to be some crazy freelancer who does all these random writing gigs and has a wide-ranging portfolio that impresses everyone. A gal can dream…

Regular updates will resume next week. Maybe. The lady and I will be making a long trip from Louisiana to New England starting January 1st, so you might not hear much from me until after we’re done. I’ll return with fresh insights and fresh ideas for the next 365 days and it’ll be worth the wait.
