Happy NaNoWriMo 2013!

I lost my old official NanoWriMo sign in. 

 

So I created another. 

 

I hope all of the followers of this blog are participating one way or another. I am still coming up with an idea for it – starting late as always and never finishing. But enjoying the process to get the creativeness going anyway. 

 

Welcome to Night Vale is awesome…did you hear?

I am normally not huge into podcast. I keep getting told I need to start listening to this podcast about coffee or this podcast about music. But…I don’t. I just try to stay away from itunes unless it is to throw some more songs on to my ipod. Well, um, I found Welcome to Night Vale and it became a fiction I didn’t know I was missing. 

Crazy Busy Writing and Regular Life

My life has been super insanely busy lately. I’ve been working with editors to get more things published and ready for your views. I have also been being busy working and picking away (with each paycheck) a lot of my student loan. Oh and I’ve been reading too. 

Little Anthology Advertisement

I recently got a poem called “I ran into Death last night, he dropped his books,” published in an anthology of weird poems. This anthology is put out by the publishing company, Chupacabra House.

Sometimes poetry can be a little inspirational. At the very least this one by Maya Angelou is truthful and relevant to myself and many others. 

What paying off student loans is like:

 

There has been three days between my $289.70 payment and today. When I scheduled this payment my interest for all combined loans was around $15.00. Today I looked at it to see if this payment had gone through and the interest instead was $36.00. I had to get on Income Based Repayment and I can’t tell if I am better off or worse than I was. But considering the amount I can pay a month $200 ish, is less than what I would rack up in interest in a month, I am probably going to ultimately do worse.

To Read Tuesday: Books of Adam

Books of Adam: The Blunder Years is a book of essays (with illustrations) by blogger Adam Ellis of the blog, Books of Adam. The essays are in seemingly chronological order from his last days in art school leading up to his mid twenties. Each one tells a different tale that is humorous and illustrates experiences that every twenty something can relate to. 

Adventures in Resumé Writing

So I was up last night writing a new resumé. It is funny that me, being comfortable in my new job, became suddenly annoyed by the fact that I have used the same boring resumé template since I was 16. I felt like making a resumé that’s design would “stand out,” be “professional,” and still be a good use of space for all of the things that I need to show an employer. So I spent the beginning of the night looking up really great resumé templates (I am basically too lazy/self conscious to make my own). Later I found a great one. Which you could see on my about page linked above. I have a passion for helping people find jobs and because of this I put together a list of cheap themes you could use to put together a nice professional resumé.

I have motion on my mind today. Motion and memories of motions. So here is something…
