Updates!

Hi whoever has this on their blog reader! I have some news.

The issue of Gauge with my story "Crush" is out. It looks nice, so yay! But I had made the choice when I wrote it to use italics instead of quotations marks (douche-y? maybe.) Gauge didn't use italics or quotations so now it looks confusing (douchier? yes.) WUTEVA I'm just happy being published in an Emerson publication.

I have an internship at The Strothman Agency. I love it so far! It's only four hours a week because of my schedule. It's a swank building and I have a little desk where I read proposals and manuscripts and write reader reports. I pass on to Lauren what may have potential. I've learned that little does. I thought this would discourage me, but it's done the opposite. People are... dumb? misguided? delusional? I know that if I at least spell my proposal correctly that an agent will at least read it.

The internship, my book publishing class and Emerson Review really confirm that I want to be involved somewhere in publishing. Probably in editing. Plus, I love being bitchy with other people about submissions.

Other Fun News:

I've started to really like owl tattoos.

I'm saving up to buy a hedgehog.

I just ordered these shoes. CAN'T WAIT.

There's a lot of lot of shopping I need to do. But I'm not allowed to because I'm "poor" as in I work >10 hours a week and am at my parent's mercy.

But, oh Anthropologie being all French. And this bedspread would be perfect in my room.
