Being Published
This is going to be a long post. I know it's been awhile, journal. I've been pretty busy. With what, you ask?

PSA
If I have recently added you as a friend, and you are wondering why, it's probably because I noticed we seem to share common interests, or I recognized your username from LJ and we had common interests there.

Some kind of 7-7-7 thing going around...
Wherein you go to the 7th page of your current WIP, and copy/paste 7 lines starting from the 7th on the page.

Employment
I have a job! I will be teaching English Lit to high school students online. It is pretty much EXACTLY what I want to do, working with a fantastic team of people, and it will give me the same schedule as my husband, and time to write.

In which I talk a bit about politics
I don't talk about politics much. This is, at least in part, because I am both conservative and Christian. But here for awhile now, I have felt the need to append that statement thusly: I am fiscally conservative, and a Christian.
