Tests and Christmas

So a couple big things are hopefully happening this week. Then one big day is happening this week whether everyone is ready or not. Today I am going to take my license test, so that I will finally really be a resident of my new state. Hopefully I pass. Hopefully my college of choice gets my transcripts and I can register for course. Hopefully. And the final thing that is coming whether I am prepared or not is my first Christmas away from my friends and extended family. My hopes are that it will be a good day, and that phone calls to loved ones will be enough for me.


Wish me luck!

Mid-Week Slump

Not a lot has happened that is noteworthy the rest of this week. I've worked and the days have been fairly normal. Most eventful happening of today were awkward conversations, and fun ones with coworkers. I tried to get new work shoes because I hate the ones I currently own, but didn't find anything that I was satisfied with. Things are looking up though, I have two whole days off which means painted nails!! I could get into some crazy adventures with two days. (Or I could just be cozy at home and possibly write a few new pieces.)

This has been the Mid-Week Slump update.

Super Stoked!

Today I came to the realization that a regular at work is the author I met on one of my first morning shifts at my job. This realization has made me really excited because now I personally know someone who makes his living off of writing. It could be a turning point in my writing career because I always felt like being published and making money off of writing were nearly impossible. Knowing someone who is doing it makes it feel more real.

Also I will be reading his books to children at work in January. It will be an amazing experience to read a book by a person I personally know, and see regularly.

Branching Out

So I am a member of a team of writers who are part of a blog called Life In Fiction. It is a great blog, founded by a couple of really great guy, and the team comprises of amazingly talented writers. We are looking to expand the team and add in more writers, which means that there will be weeks when I will not be able to post on that blog. Which is cool, but if I write something I really like I always want to post it right away.

Thus, Aspirations Bloom, was born.

Basically this will be my solo blog where I can post my works, thoughts, or whatever I feel like sharing. It could be an antidote about a funny encounter I had during my day, or you could get bits of stories. I could post about something amazing I read and want to spread around. This blog will be my way to speak out, right when I feel like it.
