Happy Valentine's Day!

So, Happy Valentine's Day Everybody - hope you all are doing something special with that special someone! Me, I'm going out on a date tonight with a guy I've been talking with for a couple of days now, and I know we'll have a good time tonight, and I wish nothing less for all of you out there!

Anyway, it has been awhile - 13 days to be exact, a 2-week gap there, but no worries! Picking up where I left off, turns out the Mango story was MUCH better than I thought it was going to be - and it is published today in the paper, so I'll be putting it up in a new post shortly after this. And what's more....I just handed in another story to my editor about a local prom fashion show at the South Forsyth High School.

That was a fun thing to go to - absolutely loved the dresses, I mean, who wouldn't? Every girl wants the prettiest dress she can find for her prom. And that's exactly what these dresses were. Definitely will post the finished article as soon as its published next week!

On another matter entirely - I've recently concluded that during the extent of my research in finding jobs in journalism, I've come to the conclusion that most entry-level jobs for journalists start in New York City. That's where you go if you want to be a journalist, and I don't doubt it. So, what I've decided to do is make up a list of editors, writers, publishers in New York City to get interviews, ask for advice, where to look for jobs, networking, etc. And I'm planning on making a visit to New York City to meet these people in person.

Of course its going to take some time - setting appointments, figuring out times, locations, all that jazz....but I find this a fun and exciting enterprise. I mean, who wouldn't want to go to New York if you had the opportunity to do so? And not New York the state - I mean THE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely looking forward to that! I'll let you all know how it goes of course, but this trip is for business - not pleasure.

Meantime, I encourage whoever is reading this, please post some comments! I want to hear your feedback!What do you think about all this? What should I be doing? Or is there something I can help you with? It doesn't matter if I know you - I still value everyone's opinion and feedback here!
