The blossoming writer...Maybe

My current writing project is an essay contest for Glamour magazine. It's a 2500 word essay about a life experience. I am not a fan of nonfiction. I much prefer fiction. True stories are so personal and therefore more difficult to write. My poetry is personal but that's different. I decided to write about something very personal and it's very difficult. I'm only at 800 words. I don't know if I'm going to make it...Ugh.  Keep grinding.

Smooches and Deuces!

Updates and New Ventures

Hello there! It has been such a long time since I posted. I had to work this summer so I've been very busy. I'm finally off for a whole week before I go back to work. Usually, after the summer, I'm feeling refreshed, ready to greet my new students and start a new school year. This year, however, I am burnt out already. It pretty much sucks. Oh well. C'est la vie! Anyway, I had an epiphany the other day and I thought I would share it. I used to love my job. In fact, I still love my students and it is an enriching experience. However, dealing with adults is no picnic and it leaves me feeling hollow. Recently, a colleague of mine told me about a writing contest open to high school teachers. I was very excited about it and I submitted an original fiction piece. I've always wanted to be a writer but never thought it was feasible because I already have a job that I have to keep. However, what dawned on me is that I can still write and work. So my friends, I am going to start writing. I would love to do some freelance work but I realize I will have to work up to that. My next venture will be a nonfiction essay contest being given by Glamour magazine. Baby steps...So from time to time, I may share some of my writing here. We'll see.
On the fashion note, I am ready for the school year thanks to Ann Taylor factory store. I love that place! If you have one in your area, check it out! What I love is the range of sizes that you can't get in a regular Ann Taylor store. 2-18! The clothes are really nice.
Beauty news: There are a few products I'd like to share with you all. Be on the lookout for them.
Well, busy bee that I am, I have to go. I promise I'll be back soon.

Smooches and Deuces!
