Random News

For a look at my WordPress Author Blog, click here! I haven't done very much with it, yet, but I plan on using it for all things related to my writing career.

In other news, I have QUIT the English/Language Arts Education program at Troy University, and am changing my major. I hated the education classes so much that it made me realize I could never be a teacher. They do far more work than is necessary for way too small a salary. I'm glad that there are people out there who have a capacity and a passion for that field. I, however, am not one of them.

I now plan on majoring in English and getting a minor in Business Administration. I want to work in the publishing industry, and eventually become a full-time writer.

I am almost done with the rough draft of Poisoned Apples, and I've run into a huge bout of writer's block. I don't know what's up, but it's really frustrating.

Finally Able to Relax

I'm so excited that the past semester finally ended! Now, I have time to market my book! Also, I now have time to work on organizing and streamlining my life. This is a much-needed change. Chaos has been eating my life and stressing me out for years now. My dad recently bought me a copy of Time Management for Dummies, so I'm reading it and applying the elements for organizing the office to my room, my car, and my dorm. Hopefully, I'll have everything ironed out before the new semester starts.

I'm also excited because this break will allow me to get work done on Poisoned Apples and Retraction. They are my foremost writing endeavors at this point. If you would like to know more about either one, click here.

I'm also excited about having time to RP (role-play) since I'm on break. Yay! I think that RPing is a great way to keep in the creative habit. I'm also doing a new thing on my official blog. I'm forcing my writing muse into gear by responding to various creative writing prompts that I find online, as well as through e-mail subscriptions, and in books that I own.

I hope everyone is doing well, and that you all have a happy holiday!

Thanks for Reading,

Chelsea

A Few Observations

I have finally hit that fork in the road where I feel I absolutely need to make a choice. I can either continue with Troy's English/Language Arts Education program, or I can choose something different. I'm considering several options right now.

I'm leaning heavily toward an English Major with an emphasis on Professional Writing, and a double minor of Print Journalism, and English with an emphasis on Creative Writing.
