published

Guess who's gonna be published!? This girl. a local Columbus magazine is doing a feature on me, with a bio and photo and everything ... eeps! I'll be sure to grab a bunch once it comes out to show off my fame, of course.

I'm on cloud 9 right now. nothing can ruin my day. Seriously, I put one email out there into the world, made a new friend, am getting published and have potential freelance jobs opening up to me.

The world is my oyster, I'm the pearl. Who says you can't call yourself a princess? Now I need to go break the news to my kiddies that I'll be leaving in two weeks and sticking around to do community circle. I think they'll take it alright. I hope. Kids are resilient right?

It doesn't even matter. I can barely feel my limbs I'm so excited - yeah, I know right? Ridiculous but true. I'm all tingly and in love. I forgot about it, this feeling, this love love love of writing. I keep ignoring it but the point is it's part of me so deep, it's in my veins, and if something comes that easily to you, is such a challenge at the same time, why stop that love affair? Why call it quits because one of you can't commit all the time? Isn't the chase the best part? I've been chasing writing since I was seven and I'm not bored yet, I don't think I'll ever be.

Hello, Filigree, hello new friend, and opportunities. Hello life that I always knew I could have.
