Times Like These

So, it's been a while since I've been on here. Far too long, in fact. But I promise, it is not because I forgot or because I decided I didn't want to blog. Quiet the opposite, actually. As soon as school let out for summer this year, I hit the ground running with a musical I am costuming and helping backstage with. It is the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to be precise, and I'm loving every minute of it. The show is phenomenal, and everything is coming together. I'm very excited for opening night tomorrow.

But I've been spending every day at the theatre for tech/dress rehearsals, and working on costuming issues on my off hours as well. This leaves me with little free time, let alone time for blogging and working on my writing.

I know what your thinking. I shouldn't be making excuses for myself, and I should be making time for this. Well, that is exactly what I have begun to do. No matter what I am doing on any given day, I want to have a post, even if it is just a hello and goodbye type of thing with a nifty song to go with it. I just want this to be a regular thing, so I must discipline myself.

Also, I know I promised writing samples and tips and all of that when I was using this platform as my final project. Well, turns out this blog site a) gives Mac's a hard time and b) doesn't allow you to copy and paste directly from a Word document. I'm still trying to figure out how to best share my work and work on the technical glitches, but hopefully that will be up and running soon.

I also feel like I'm rambling. At some point, I want to give a better picture of who I am and where I come from. I always feel like if I am reading something about someone or taking advice from them, it's nice to know little things about that person.

So my next post will just be little fun facts about me. Enjoy.

The song for this post is "Times Like These" by the Foo Fighters. The Foo Fighters are rad. Everyone should listen to and appreciate their music. This song is about slowing down and realizing what is important in life. I need to do that more often.
