So I'm back from Sicily! It was definitely a beautiful country but I am glad to be back to air conditioning and tap water.
Since I like lists and I'm still suffering from jet lag...I'm just going to list what's going on, what's up and coming, and maybe some Sicily info.
*MY PAPER HEART has come back from my editor. Not actually that much to work on, but it's probably going to take me awhile.
*Eight more followers and my blog give away will be here!
*My husband informed me that he will NOT read a book I write until it's the equal to THE HUNGER GAMES, but he would like me to become a best selling author so that he can retire at 52.
*I am looking for a critique partner. I want someone that writes and also enjoys YA/Chick-Lit romance. Books that I have enjoyed reading include: A match made in high school, A perfect Chemistry, The Georgia Nicholson series, and Just Listen. I'm okay with some fantasy, but it's limited. I liked The Hunger Games, Twilight, and Stackhouse, but I have to feel a sort of realistic element to it. If you are interested you may know where to find me.
*Interview with Author/Agent Mandy Hubbard is coming up on this blog get excited!
*I ate canolis that were filled with gelato in Italy and it is clearly the reason that my jeans do not fit me.
*I'm not sure what else to say, BUT if we're facebook friends you can check out the honeymoon pictures!

The silver lining
There is always a silver lining. Sometimes it’s hard to see it at first, but it’s always there.
No, I didn’t get the job in Washington. I interviewed to be a speech writer in the executive branch of a major insurance company, and sadly though they said my writing skills were fantastic, they just didn’t think I knew enough about the area to be qualified for the position.
Yeah, I’m upset. I mean I was really looking foreward to having a job that I could just write all day in, but I guess this just means it wasn’t meant to be. In hindsight it would have been hard to come back from my honeymoon then have to turn around and start packing to move to Washington.
So instead of worrying about a new job I’m happy to report that the querying process has started again and once the honeymoon is over (Juen 14th) I will be back to keeping up with this blog!
So though there will not be a contest for a new job (someday there will be, I’m still on the hunt.) I will be having a contest once I get 100 Twitter followers, I am still nineteen away, so very close!
The contest will include things that I blog about with a few winners.
1.) Writing- (I do have an award winning author who will be more than happy to donate an autographed book and one more that I’m trying to get under my belt.)
2.) Glee (Oh yeah my mom works for a FOX affiliate so there will be Glee merch).
3.) Boxing. One of my favorite movies was also a book first and it has to do with boxing, so there may be a Blu-Ray movie up for grabs!
Till then I must pack for the honeymoon, but will get back to this whole blogging and keeping you all posted thing!
