Well, it's been a while since I've written. And I've realized I probably ought to write more, create more of an online presence. Hey, I am here all the time. I just don't always leave a mark. I haven't had much excitement (at least nothing to rival the accident) since January (which is probably a good thing) and very few people actually read this. Eh, that's okay, too.
Life's a bit on the weird side right now. I don't know what I'm doing. That is, I know what I'm doing right now at this moment (I'm writing a blog entry!) but as for tomorrow... or the next day... who knows? I'm in Colorado Springs, doing my internship for my professional writing degree at a publishing house called D.C. Cook, and I'm seriously having the time of my life. I'm doing exactly what I've thought I wanted to do for a long time, and it's absolutely as great as I'd hoped. Basically, I'm editing. Fixing other people's commas and weird sentence structure. Figuring out what to do to books to get them published. I love publishing. I love books. I love office work. I love editing and proofreading! I could cry!
Okay, so that's melodramatic. But on a stranger note, I have been crying a lot lately. I don't get it. I'm happy, at least, with most things. I just find myself reading the most random stuff here at the office, and tearing up over the hungry kids in Kenya or over memories of rocking babies to sleep or even this kids' book called The Blue Umbrella (which is coming out in a few months... and it's awesome...). Even one of my irksome little fiction characters that hang around inside my head had me in tears because her life hit a very rough point. *sniff* I feel like such a girl. Yes, I am a girl, but I don't usually cry about much. I do miss my family, and, yep, life's confusing because after this internship, I have NO IDEA what's coming next or what I should even focus on. But I'm not depressed, and I really am enjoying life. But... it makes me wonder if God's playing games with me or something. In that... God kinda way.
Well, we'll see. And not like you needed an emotional update on me or anything. Hope your life's going great!
Encouragement to you today, 'cause I gotta preach to me, too: There are a lot of books in the world of publishing, but the #1 bestseller is the one we should all spend some more time in. It's where there's true life to be found, and the book through which our lives can be changed.
