What I'm Listening To: I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas)
I've learned a lot of things in the past few weeks. Hopefully if I can get a new phone, these blog posts will be more frequent. Nikki Giovanni has written me back again, saying that I can quote her. I am really happy about this, and I plan on submitting to several poetry journals before the release date of my poetry book to build up my literary resume. I also plan on shooting a YouTube video for my first novel Nostalgia. Other than that, I found Victor Webster on Twitter. I didn't realize that he had a small role on Lincoln Heights (the show I've been watching online for the past week). So mostly everything is good, and Prime Magazine is having a poetry contest, which I am trying hard to facilitate.
I think my hugest decision is that I'm going to a Writers Conference in New York on November 5th. I've paid for the conference and my parents are helping me pay for it. Janet Reid is supposed to be there, along with many other good agents. Hopefully I can get some insight and hopefully I can keep trying to get Nostalgia published. I would like to finish Renovatio by the end of next year, but with all of these projects going on and midterm season, it's a little hard too balance everything.
But now I think for the first time in a long time, my vision is clear and I can see where I'm going with no distractions.
