Update: Poetry book edited and return to journalism!

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my self-publishing journey here.

She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle has been edited and after formatting/typesetting and eBook conversion, it will be ready for release at the end of October at the latest. Ideally, as October is Domestic Violence awareness month, I'd like to have it released for the beginning to end of the month, but we'll have to see what happens. I'm ecstatic about the release!

Nothing much has happened with Spellbound; I've been busy with She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle. I'll be returning to where I left off in chapter 7 of the sequel very soon. I have been compiling ideas and more ideas for it, and in the weirdest of places: my fiancé's pirate computer game. He has no idea why it's so entertaining for me to watch him play it, but the battles and sailings and plotlines give me plenty of story ideas.

My return to journalism is still pending as well. I had a job interview yesterday for it and I have a good feeling about it. The editor was pretty impressed by the skill set on my resume, which I was happily able to elaborate on. The reporter position is the beat for politics/municipal hard news, which I'm pretty excited for considering the municipal election, which is coming up next month. Election nights are always a lot of fun. Sooner or later I'd like to get a crime reporter position. It was sort of my specialty in college.

Other than that, nothing much is new here…so I guess that means back to writing and the finishing touches of She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle!
