Hey guys
It's been far too long and I wish I could be on here more often and I'm sorry I've been neglecting y'all and all that bullpoopy bullshit..... LOL I've said that speech too many times for it to mean anything anymore ;_;
ANYWAY! I'm doing a class assignment for this stupid technical writing class, and I have to interview someone who has participated in a writing internship... have you - or do you know anyone who has - done a writing internship (or are doing one) and would be willing to let me interview you (or them)? If so, please let me know as soon as you can!
Thank you very much, and I hope to see you lovelies around here again soon

I promise I'll actually upload this year lol
Just wanted to say hi and tell you all that I very much intend to "be back" this season!!! (and by this season i mean this year lol) NaPo in April, FlashFicMonth in July.... oh yeah. My life is still in shambles and in a lot of ways I'm worse than I've ever been, but just enough IS better, so now I'm bound and determined to RETURN OKAY. Plus I fucking miss it. And you guys. So yeah, hi :love:
Life and writing (new project!) update
Hello lovelies :aww: So, things are ok. I moved into a new apartment with one of my closest friends a couple of weeks ago, which means I'm out and away from the horrible living situation I'd been in for the past year (disgusting living conditions, toxic/abusive roommates, etc.). I'm still struggling to find work, but thankfully I haven't lost my hope and still have a little energy to pursue promising options. What really, REALLY irks me is that last week - for the FOURTH time - I HAD a great, high-paying full-time job in the bag, and then after THREE DAYS of working for them, they let me go with zero notice and (basically) zero reason. It blows my mind how since the start of the pandemic, people have become SO unabashedly selfish, flakey, stingy, and uncommunicative. Sigh. Anyway, I'm still trying, but it's getting harder and harder to have faith or trust in ANYTHING that hasn't been well-established in my life for years and years and years. Okay, so aside from the depressing life
MOVING!!!!
UPDATE: Unfortunately this opportunity turned out to be an employment scam. They stole nearly 2900 USD and it's extremely unlikely that I'll get is back. So. fuck my life I guess. Hey hey y'all! So, time for my annual update, haha. It seems like it's like that, anyway... I come back here pretty much 2-3 times a year for NaPo, FFM, and sometimes NaNo. But this time it's for something different!! (And really because I'm probably going to have to apologize ahead of time for a shitty NaPo this year...) I managed to land a new teaching job that'll FINALLY take me back out of the country!! But this time, I'm not going to Japan ;P The University of Heidelberg Germany has hired me to be one of the new English teachers for its Language Institute, so I'll be teaching ESL to 18-26-year-olds for the next year :love: The big difference between this and my teaching job in Japan is that I was technically an assistant teacher in Japan, and for this job, I'm THE teacher :P I'm both
A DD on 'march' ???????
Thank you so SO much to @Barosus for last week's DD on one of my FFM pieces from this year, "march"!!!! It still manages to surprise me, even after years and years and years of being a writer, when my readers dote on pieces that don't strike me as particularly noteworthy :lmao: ^^; It's flattering and affirming, don't get me wrong!! But seriously, more often than not, I feel like my readers and I tend to fall in love with completely different pieces of mine :XD: It just goes to show that everybody's tastes are different, and what strikes people isn't always that seemingly masterful turn of phrase or that ultra-polished, carefully written story. It could just as easily be the sloppily worded poem that hits people just the right way, or the written-5-minutes-before-the-deadline contest entry that somehow packs an emotional punch, or the story that took a month to write, 6 years off your life, and STILL doesn't meet your standards. All that to say, I remain incredibly humbled
