The Writer with A Thousand Faces

"Clouded, this boy's future is."

Wow, two updates in one week. I'm going to need a nap after this. Anyway, here is a story that I wrote earlier in the week:

http://www.thedailyjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050922/LIFESTYLE/509220313&SearchID=73221236409820

The story was due Wednesday at noon, and since I had a class from 9:00-11:50, I had to write it, at the very latest, on Tuesday night. I made the first call on Monday night and I thought I had hit a dead end. I was supposed to include reactions from regular people who had gone to the festival before. However, I had no numbers and needed this person (the coordinator) that I was calling to give me numbers. However, for privacy purposes, that's a lot to ask. She said that she would call people and have them get back to me. At that point, I figured I had no chance in getting real-person reactions, but about three minutes after hanging up, I got three phone calls in a row, and two more the next morning (actually, two more than I really needed). So I'm thankful that worked out.

Hopefully, I can give you the link to the teenage opera singer story soon. It has been held off for over a month and a half. It appeared in the Bridgeton Journal this week but it should appear soon in The Daily Journal (in other words, A LOT of people will see it).

Oh, by the way, I found out that the circulation size of The Daily Journal is between 17,000 and 18,000. A small paper, yes, but nothing to sneeze at.

I am really starting to wonder where my future lies, especially concerning graduate school. I will say that I will probably go, but I don't know where, and I don't know why.

Just thought I'd let you know about a site where you can make over $800 a month in extra income. Go to this site   MAKE MONEY NOW  and put in your zip code..... up will pop several places where you can get paid to secret shop, take surveys, etc.  It's free.  I found several and I live in a small town!
