Ahh..
I feel so much better.
Tonight was the craziest night for me. Everyone was busy cuddled up with their men and here I am sitting up alone in my dorm room.
Anna called me the other day and said, “Hey Jaleesa!” I almost choked on my spit.
Yeah…the little boys on campus think I’m an undergrad. I have to sigh and tell them, “You were just getting your grown up teeth when I started undergrad.”
Not interested in hanging out in their dorm room. Not interested in watching them play basketball. Not interested in smoking out in the parking lot.
~laffs~
Dude. I have work to do.
It LOOKS like I’m not doing anything, but if you’ll check my many blogs, a few publications and my youtube channel, you’ll see I have my hands full. I’m writing, editing, creating, producing and STILL reaching out to other editors, writers, authors, trying to introduce myself and ask for a chance to get my name in their publication. I’ve also been studying the best marketing techniques and keeping up on the latest self help advice.
THIS WEEK ALONE I have applied for a job as an editor of a newspaper, an editor of a news website, a communications director for a university, a television reporter, a writing coach, a telemarketer..you get the picture. ANything that deals with communications, I’m all into it, trying to get on.
~sigh~
But if you ask my Mama… ~shakes head~
I don’t know if I’ll ever please her. She wants me to stop thinking about writing and just get a regular job and be unhappy. “I had to do it, “she said. “I did it for ya’ll. I never liked my job. You ain’t special.”
Misery sure loves company.
While I do look for regular jobs (thank God none of them have called me back) In the meantime, I write for free on all of my blogs and occasionally write for free for publications. Anytime I see an author who is doing well, I send them an email and introduce myself and send them a link to my portfolio.
Not to mention working heartily on my book. I hate writing about it because it seems so boring. How many people do you know who are working on a book? My motto is, “Publish it, and then talk about it.”
I’m thinking about adding my comments back again but I havent had them in so long I can’t figure it out. My idea of leaving them off was to provide me with a way to just say what I have to say without worrying about other people’s opinions/criticisms but as I study more about technology and I’m trying my best to become a dedicated blogger, I realize the comments are what creates community. So we’ll see. I’m wishy washy on the topic.
I do remember that all the cool people that I’ve met through my blog..well, I met them in my comments. And I sure do miss finding more interesting blogs to read. Say Hi if you feel like it, if not, my email is always up and running.
~sigh~
Anyway… LOL!
I’m still up and still writing..
as usual….
Thank God I feel better.
