Wix

So I want to start a website but I have no clue what it would be on. I also thought it would be cool to have an online literary and media journal with a volunteer staff where youth could have a voice but who would read it? And it sounds like too much work so I don't know who would want to be involved. I thought about an RPG. I have done those before but usually get busy so I can't respond quickly enough. And all in all, I can hardly manage writing on my blog so why on earth I think I can build another website is beyond me. But if anyone has input that would be cool.

Actually, I have a lot of creative essays I've been writing lately. But they're kinda boring so I won't bother you with those.

Cheers!

PS Happy Post Valentines Day!!!

Whew!

Good news. The resume/headshot has been mailed to Debra Zane and I also finally finished and mailed in my packet for this poetry scholarship. Finally being the key word in that sentence. Seriously, I better get that scholarship after all the trouble it caused me (same with the Hunger Games since I spent like $7 trying to print a decent headshot because our school printers SUCK!!! So they better cast me. Just kidding-well...sort of *wink* ). It was a small fortune to print out like $45 pages (that's four copies of a manucscript containing 10 poems as requested). But before I could even print it, I had to go through every line of every poem a make sure it did not exceed 50 characters. Then of course, I had to ask my boyfriend send me some big 8X11 envelopes (thanks again, love) since I spent all my last paycheck and then still had to scrounge around for change to pay for postage.

I also had to get my application notarized. Keep in mind this is a scholarship. Who does that?!

But I'm finished and I actually think I have a shot at this one which would be great! I'm one of only 7 applicants according to Zinch. And even if not, it was cool to go back over my work and even write a new poem/song, which I'll post up here. Plus I'm finding a few more poetry scholarships/competitions so it's great that I can now draw out of these ten poems.

Wow. I am such an English Nerd 0.0
It's seriously my college dream to work in the Reading/Writing center which is basically English tutoring. That sounds a little odd but, seriously, I think I would love it.
I should probably strive to be a little more gramatically correct in my blogging and stuff first though.
I also rescued an abandoned purple pen from a classroom this morning. I'm actually ridiculously happy about my heroic dead since, as it happens, purple is the best color of ballpoint ink.
