One Year

September 2, 2009

August 30 marked one year since I moved to Kamloops. And I think I have grown more as a writer, girlfriend, daughter, friend and a person in the last year than I have any other year of my life. It was a hard year, but it was also rewarding and fun.
A new school year, possibly MY [...]

Funky town

August 6, 2009

I’ve been a bit neglectful of the blog lately and the reason is, I’m in a funk. A big one.
I wrote two semi-whiney, bleh posts last week and I didn’t want to continue that trend this week so rather than writing about how blue I feel I decided not to write at all.
I’ve been very [...]

This week…

July 31, 2009

…I only ran once. Exhaustion and the heat prevented me from getting up early to run. I know, I know, I shouldn’t make excuses - but I am.
…I felt very, very homesick.
…I was praised on my writing, at work.
…I also received some constructive criticism on my editing skills, which is bothering me more than it [...]

Q & A: This time next year

July 28, 2009

Jessica, Chere and Carissa all asked me the same question: what do I want to do once I graduate (next spring!)?
This is something I have thought A LOT about lately. Just to remind any new readers, I’m currently in school getting a bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a major in Public Relations. This summer I [...]

Q & A

July 24, 2009

After some deliberation I’ve decided to jump on the Q & A bandwagon (or blogwagon?). You see, I’ve had a lot of trouble coming up with blog topics lately. The night before last I sat staring at the screen for a good 10 minutes before I decided to just do bullets!
I might follow in the [...]

What do you blog about?

July 6, 2009

I’ve been toying with the idea of becoming more “specific” on my blog. I originally started my first blog, Amber Alert, back in September with the intentions of using it as a way to practice my writing. I didn’t really have any specific intentions of what I was going to blog about or a schedule, [...]

Deception

April 21, 2009

I was driving home from the gym last night and simutaneously checking my twitter account (bad, I know) and I saw this update:
AshleyD: I cannot believe this news about @missmusing! I just had dinner with her on Wednesday!
I think; “Hmmm, I wonder what happened? Maybe, Miss Musing got engaged!”
Let’s backtrack slightly. I started reading Miss [...]

Letter to me

March 16, 2009

This is my answer to the twenty something writers prompt from Friday. The prompt was to write a letter to yourself at a younger age. I listened to this song repeatedly this weekend for inspiration!
Here’s my letter to my 15-year-old self.
Dear Amber,
You just had your heart broken for the first time. I know you thought [...]

Dealing with Criticism

March 2, 2009

On the outside, I deal great with constructive criticism. I smile, I nod, I pay attention to what I’m being told. On the inside, I’m screaming. Don’t get me wrong, constructive criticism is SO important, especially for a writer, and I appreciate every single piece of advice I receive. Considering I want to be a [...]
