It’s been a while since I’ve blogged on here, but that’s my own fault. It’s not for lack of wanting to do it or keeping this site updated more, but I’ve just been extremely busy.
I guess I should go in order?
After traveling last fall and working basically two full time jobs, I cut back to my real job after the beginning of the year. I worked on a new book, which has been published – “Ultimate Boy Band Trivia” – and focused on opening my own merch shop in addition to having my Etsy store. I became interested in working with resin and have been making jewelry. Also, AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys wore a custom Taylor Swift T-Shirt design I made him on stage during a show.
And, I started graduate school. I’m going for my Masters of Science in Marketing and hope to get my doctorate after that. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, but never had the chance to when my Mom was alive because a lot of my free time and energy went towards her and her needs. So far, not counting the course I just finished, I have a 3.85 grade point average and it should be higher after I get my grade from my most recent class, Global Marketing.
For this class, I created an international marketing plan for my book, “How to be an Adult Fangirl (And Not Ruin Your Life),” and also published hardcover and paperback copies of the book on Amazon. It almost made me really want to get back to trying to get something fictional published. I’m hoping to have another non-fiction book to write soon, but that’s under wraps right now.
I’m taking October off because I’m doing some traveling again (yes, going to concerts) and it will be the second anniversary of losing my Mom. I just recently went back home to bury part of her ashes. It was the first time I was there since way before COVID-19 and looking around at places, leaving was the best thing that ever happened to me. I don’t think I could ever live there again.
My goal is to keep this website updated more, with a lot of my work and maybe even some of my school work. I also want to publish articles about marketing and creative writing, because, besides pop culture and boy bands, that’s what I’m an expert on.
