Hey,

Well, I have begun the search for a new job, all the while holding on for dear life to the job I have now. I am going to have more hours next week, and hopefully as the calendar year progresses, that trend will continue. I have also decided to go through my resume and work on it to make it better, and then will visit the college's Career Services to have them help me make it the best it can be, so I don't know, I can get a job that suits my skills and talents better than doing regular price checks and maintencing the shelves. I sent off an application to the college bookstore, as well, though I do not expect to hear back. I'll keep up with the classifieds and the improving of my resume and go from there.

I have spent the majority of the time since posting the last chapter making notes and outlines. I already have the majority of the next chapter plotted and sketched out, but I am also making a lot of notes for a new one-shot I intend to write. As much as my beta and I have talked about it, I had better write it or she'll hunt me down. I will say that it is another songfic, once again centered on Sesshomaru and Rin, but you'll know more about it when it's finished and posted. I am hoping that Sango and Sesshomaru can work together so I can hopefully write both roughly at the same time. I'm rather excited by both writing projects. I may also, depending how much work I get in the next month or so, going over some of my original writing so I can get a portfolio together. Lots and lots of stuff going on, isn't there?

I've posted Child of the Moon at Moonlight-Flower, a Sesshomaru/Rin site, and I'm hoping it'll be well received there as it has been else where. And I've been posting Journey at Eternal Destiny, the new Inuyasha/Kagome site, and had some wonderful reviews there! It's nice to join communities devoted to one couple or another and share, I think. It's not as all over the place as some as the larger archives, and at least those who are there will like the pairing! So if you haven't checked out either place, I suggest you do!

I also have to confess: I have started to watch American Idol. I've avoided it most of the time it's been on in the past seasons, but actually checked it out last night, and it was hilarious. I don't know if I'll watch it through the end, but we'll see. It could be fun.

I'm very excited for next Tuesday, too. The Minnesota Twins Winter Caravan is coming to my small town, and they're bringing Bert Blyleven, Boof Bonser, Jason Bartlet, and a couple others. I am hoping I will get an autograph and a picture with Bert in my Bert Jersey that I got for Christmas. For those of you who don't know, Bert Blyleven was a Minnesota Twins pitcher in the 80s, and pitched on our 1987 World Series Team. He is now an announcer for the Twins on Fox Sports Net North. We watch almost every game throughout the baseball season, so I'm excited for this! The only problem, I do know at this point that I work overnight later that night after the Caravan comes through, but I'll find a way to do both. It's not like you get to see some of your favorite ball players and announcers often!

That's what's going on around here. Don't worry, we'll get more story, and you do have a one-shot to look forward to, too!

Until next time,
