• Attended launch party for the debut of the Black Hills Wolves and the first story by Rebecca Royce. Gave things away.
• Attended New Year Bash for Fated Desires Publishing. Gave things away.

• Filled up the blog, so we'll have new posts (and a lot of guest authors) for all of January and most of February (keeping some slots open for the surprise in Feb...)

• Explored some previously unexplored territory and will share more of that soon...

• Completed So. Many. Edits. I've been blessed to work with some of the best voices in the industry and am feeling a bit like a proud auntie. They aren't my book babies, but I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of them as they release this year!

• I'm officially a senior! I'm slated to graduate in December from Kent State, so I can add these letters after my name when I have both degrees:    

Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)  Bachelor of Arts in English (B.A.E.)

• Spring 2015 classes: Spanish 2, The Great American Road Novel, and Literature in English 1 (because somehow I forgot to do that one along the way...Eh.)

• Have not got my nails or hair done in ages, so will likely take out some time for both in the near future. Yes, this bugs me, so it made the list.

So, yeah...that's a quick and dirty summary for those who have asked what I've been up to. How goes your 2015 so far?

How college killed my #Thanksgiving joy

So, everyone is all, "It is almost Thanksgiving! You know what that means, right?" Uh, sure I do. It means that someone will make a turkey. I will eat the turkey. I will have a turkey coma. Maybe someone will tell me that I didn't burn the pie (which I totally did) and people will give me hugs. No pilgrims will be at any meal I attend and I will have some quality time to fight with my children. Why fight? Uh, toothpaste and hair brushes mostly. Maybe the occasional wail of, "But I hate wearing button down shirts, Mom!"

Still, that's good times and all. But I'm not jumping up and down or anything. So, people mention, when I'm not all rainbows and unicorns, "But it is almost Black Friday! Aren't you excited?"

Well, no, actually. I'm a broke single mother of three kids trying to prepare for Christmas. The fact that I could get a flatscreen for $300? Not thrilling. I don't have $300 to blow on a TV. You do? That's great. I've heard the lines at 4am aren't bad. Have fun with that freezing your behind off standing in those lines and don't drop the TV, ok?

"So, Virg, if you're not excited about Thanksgiving or Black Friday, what ARE you thinking about?"

Uh, this.
