WHY??

I think I may have been the only person alive not blogging...well, maybe a bit of an exageration, but really. Why did I finally give in? Here ya go: I graduated from college about two years ago. I graduated Summa Cum with a BA in English. I didn't really know what I was going to do with that, I mean, writers don't make money, right? (with the exception of Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling, they don't really count, do they?) I guess I was jaded and thought, well, I have a college degree, that should be good for something. LIES!! Maybe it is my area of study, maybe it is the mostly the economy, either way, I am still unemployed. The sad thing is a lot of my college friends/classmates are unemployed as well, or if they do have a job, it is a low-paying job unrelated to what they studied in school. We are drilled into going to college. Advisors and parents told us that is what we needed to do to get a good job. Well, here I am...I graduated, so where is my good paying job, heck, where is a job? Can I blame it on Obama...that seems to work these days. All of the sudden having a BA/BS or whatever isn't good enough anymore, you need to continue on for your Master's or PhD. I am all for the continuing education, but wouldn't it be nice to have a job to pay for this education. Anyway, since I have soooooo much free time, I have decided to get back to writing and actually letting others read what I write. (not that many people will read it--at least i will feel better for putting it out there!) So, look forward to some random articles, insights, reading/movie suggestions and reviews. Please leave comments and suggestions. The biggest project I am working on right now is the Syfy Survival Guide. The best thing about writing is it can be whatever you want, as long as you have fun with it....that is the joy and allure. "I write so others can hear the voices in my head"...."I write because I want more than one life!"
