Sharing is Caring

I discovered something new about writerscafe.org today. Apparently, you can share things directly from the website. But that's not the new part. I knew you were able to do that, I'd accidentally pressed the button that would have allowed me to do it half a kazillion times. No, what's new is the fact that people actually use it. And that when they do use it, it takes not of it and puts a little number up there.

How did I discover this? It freakin' happened to me! I'm not mad. This sounds like I'm mad, but I'm really not mad. I'm really excited. That means that either someone knows nothing about technology and therefore clicked on a share button, or someone actually liked something that I wrote enough to share it with the world! Or maybe just their grandmother and her deaf cat, but I don't care! There's a grandmother and a deaf cat out there someone reading something that I wrote! How cool is that?!

The only problem is that I don't know who this person is, and it won't even tell me which platform it was posted onto secondhand. I've tried googling it a bunch of different ways, but I can't find it. So someone out there likes my writing, I don't know who and they've shared it with people I don't know. It's awesome, but kinda disconcerting, because it's weird knowing that it's been read and then given to others to read and I don't know who those others are. I just hope I've been credited appropriately. (If you happen to see it somewhere, let me know, I'd love to poke around where it's been sent!)

Back To Here

So I have ideas for Away From Here! I'm excited! Unfortunately, though, exams are coming up so I have next to no time to write. It sucks. But starting on the 24th I can get back into writing full force. Unless I have a job. Which I desperately need. So I'm not sure which I want more, but we'll see. If you're noticing a lack of posts, or else that they're ridiculously short, that also happens to be why, since I can't dedicate too much time to blogging. Actually, I shouldn't really be dedicating my time to anything that's not schoolwork, buuut, sometimes it's hard. For instance right now I'm taking an...extended break. That I should really end. Siiiigh. Oh, well. Later days.

Job Update

I didn't get it. I'm angry/disappointed/dejected as hell but I'm not surprised.

Old Stuff Resurfacing

I decided to join fictionpress.com against my better judgement, since I'm not a fan of giant conglomerate writing communities. Since I have so much stuff going on right now, I decided to make use of the start of an old story I'd written a really long time ago. So I cut it into some chapters and have posted the first one. We'll see if it actually gets any views. It's called Away From Here, and my name on it, is, like usual, littlestnewt. Cheers.

One Day More

No, this is not a post dedicated to my love of Les Miserables. It's about the fact that I find out tomorrow whether or not I got the job. There's only one day left. I'm nervous.

New Blog

I like books. Find out which ones, and maybe why. Go to my profile, and read away on Reviewery. Toodle pip.

Interview Update

I did it. I didn`t do it well, but I got through it. My problem is that I get nervous and I can`t organize my thoughts. So I fail miserably. That and the fact that I`m sorely unqualified, but I`m really passionate and a quick learner and I hope my interviewers picked up on that. Not to mention I really need some sort of income. I can`t afford school without it. I`ll find out on Tuesday whether or not I got it. Here`s to hoping it went alright.

Interview

I'm very fortunate to live in a community that takes literacy seriously. I have a huge passion for words, if you haven't already noticed, so I love that there are organizations that share the same love as I do. And guess what? I have an interview for a job with one of them! I am beyond excited, so hopefully it goes well. We'll just have to wait and see. I'll post how it goes. :)
