Creative Blog is up!

Okay, so my creative blog is now up and running. It's not under the same name as this one (after all the narrator is a character who just happens to be based very strongly on me).  Please read and review--and by "review" I mean play along.  I want this blog to be as active as possible.

Also, please keep in mind that this blog (despite being creative) is not made up junk.  Everything discussed on this blog is something that really happened to me when I was in high school, and I tried to make my blogger character as similar to myself in high school as I could.   This was not easy because I do not always like who I was at that point in my life.  So please keep in mind that this is not a great big lie.  I will admit things on this blog that I may have never admitted to anyone before.  In many ways, despite the name changes and time shift, this blog is far more personal than the blog I've been writing.  Please be respectful.

If you have any questions about this creative blog project, or if you would like to know how to start your own creative blog, please let me know.

So, without further ado, here's the URL:

Creative blogging ideas

First of all, I'm sick with this awful sinus infection and that's the only reason I have to blog anything!  At all!

Anyway, the point is that my friend James recently told me that I should write a book series about my life.  A book series that focusses on the many love triangle that I have found myself in, and yes, there have been many.  I'm not trying to be arrogant.  The fact is, I'm a cute tomboy who was raised in a small town where the competition was mostly trailer-trash.  James insists that I write the series because there are so many juicy plot twists in my life.  It sounds like an interesting idea, but the problem is that if I ever wrote about my life, I might have some pretty upset friends.  Friends that used to be boyfriends.  Needless to say, I would have to change some names, which would make my autobiography a work of fiction, wouldn't it?  Or maybe it would just be a work of creative nonfiction...

Agh...so as a compromise, I have decided to attempt to write a creative blog.  This blog will tell my story from my junior year in high school and so on.  It will probably be weekly.  It will be mostly true, except for the names and the time frame.  I'll probably start it within the next couple of weeks, so be on the lookout for "All My Friends are Idiots."

I need to practice writing anyway.  Who knows, maybe Chase will be caught blogging soon, for those of you familiar with the detective novel I have in the works.

Been too long!

If there is anyone out there who follows this blog consistently, I apologize for my lack of blogging.  I've been crazy busy with work and two online classes.  If you want to check out what I've been up to, click this link:

This is the camp/conference center I work at.  I'm in marketing department.  I do a bit of reception, some telephone calling, but mostly I make videos.  Be sure to check those out!

Tootles!

I'm a graduate!

Wooohoooo!

I officially have my BA in English.  Now what?  There's a delightful song about this from Avenue Q, and I suggest you all check it out right now:



Well, now that you've done that, I think I'll tell you what I plan on doing with my BA in English. Since my first two novels are still not ready to be sent to the publishers, and I've always been called to teaching, I'm going back to school! Yay? Anyway, I'm going to graduate school to get my certification and master's degree. The good news is that I will be totally done with school by December 2011! The bad news: more student loans. Oh well, can't have everything.

Anyway, I didn't come here to whine...I actually came here to discuss that new Prince of Persia movie, but I'll just do that next time.

Tootles!
