That Writing Process, Yo

I recently began an application for a staff writer position. Part of the vetting/interview process was to submit a 2000+ word short story according to a certain prompt. I've done some research on the company, but as it's a small publishing house, I'd prefer to play it safe. Some of the text below may soundContinue reading "That Writing Process, Yo"

That time I stepped out of time

Photo dump - Traveling home!https://photos.app.goo.gl/CxET9LKQhSsvqHJL9 This post is cross-posted on the Imperial London Spring Break page as "That time I stepped out of time." Or, "That time my wife left me for London for two weeks, and all she brought me was a mid-shelf bottle of Scotch." Or, "That time I understood why Mom said,Continue reading "That time I stepped out of time"

Exit through the gift shop

Photo album Day 10!https://photos.app.goo.gl/PYDeb6Wknc8JKfAWA Early post for an early evening, I suppose. I'll be leaving my hotel about 5:30 in the morning to catch the first train to Heathrow, so I wanted to get this down before I fell asleep at like 9pm. Today I finally managed to make it to the British Museum. IContinue reading "Exit through the gift shop"

That time I wandered London alone, Take 2

Photo album Day 9!https://photos.app.goo.gl/LQwgWdEaQAZUufTE7 This morning, I really did mean to get to the British Museum at door open. I woke up in time to get down to breakfast. I went down, ate a yogurt, jam and toast, and had a coffee. I took an orange to go. I went back to my room. IContinue reading "That time I wandered London alone, Take 2"

Bye bye, have a beautiful time!

Photo album Day 8!https://photos.app.goo.gl/QrQ4Has5dZzXZU7VA All my friends have gone. Class is dismissed. Anna picked up her bestie from the airport yesterday, and they headed off to Ireland this morning. Eli started his drive up the coast toward Scotland - he's probably about settled in by now. Tanya flew off to Denver yesterday for a conference,Continue reading "Bye bye, have a beautiful time!"

Because I knew [London], I have been changed for good.

Photo album Day 7!https://photos.app.goo.gl/2yHq7hZZ3VNEJQ9G8 Today marks the end of my course on Women, Theatre, and Imperial London. I stay in London until Monday morning (after moving hotels tomorrow), but our course is officially over. Two of our number have already landed back in the States, and the rest fly out tomorrow. It's a bittersweet day,Continue reading "Because I knew [London], I have been changed for good."

Encomium Britanniae

Photo album Day 6!https://photos.app.goo.gl/vRvg7ea9zTVc1SED6 First off, my sincerest apologies for not uploading photos yesterday, nor today. The wifi here has been rather difficult and spotty, so my photo backup has been slow or nonexistent. Once the photos are off my phone, I have to organize them into albums and link them here – if they’reContinue reading "Encomium Britanniae"

“Not just ‘happy enough’.”

Photo album Day 5!https://photos.app.goo.gl/s2sqPFPpfMWvL62U9 Today started off a bit rocky with an 8:30 start for the how-manyth day in a row. It’s been a bit difficult for me to adjust, especially since my normal schedule starts at 10-11am and ends at 2am, but so far, with the time adjustment, I’ve been OK. Tomorrow, though, IContinue reading "“Not just ‘happy enough’.”"

“Of all matches never was the like”

Photo album Day 4!https://photos.app.goo.gl/m19xcQ1W4Aro7VYC7 We started off today by checking out of the Abbey Court Hotel. It wasn't a bad stay. The rooms were a bit small, and the beds a bit college dorm-y, but overall the staff were nice and the rooms private. We left our bags and hiked around Hyde Park to aContinue reading "“Of all matches never was the like”"
