random notes

I've had some technical writing job interviews lately, and one coming up later this week. In the past I kept coming in second, and I'm sure one of these days I'll be first.

***


School starts in one week. I'm nervous and excited. In one week I'll be back in the classroom, working on my certification.

***


In the past 1 1/2 years, I've written over 400 pieces of technical documentation, some more technical than others, to be sure, but it's all good practice. It's all leading somewhere.

***


I work on fiction writing most every day. I'm not getting as far there. But I am working on it, and I think that's what counts right now.

The most immediate thing is a 600 word piece for an NPR contest. According to the contest rules, the opening line is: Some people swore the house was haunted. They've also given the contestants a last line: Nothing was ever the same again after that.

The contest seemed like a fun thing to do and focus on for a little bit. The winner gets two books (BOOKS!) and the story read on NPR.

***


Also, I made some really awesome hummus tonight. I think it's the best hummus I've ever made. Maybe a tad bit garlicky, but I love garlicky, so it is perfect.

***


Trader Joes is the bestest. How did I ever live without Trader Joes as a part of my normal life?

***


And I love you all.
