Self-Assessment #1

I've been spending a lot of my class time working on my Senior Project. I have officially typed up every single poem i have ever written, which took seventy-two years, but I'm finally done. I'm going to print them all up for my Product, which is a portf0lio of all my stuff. Plus, typing all of them gave me the idea to print up these poems for Graduation gifts to my friends. I'm also writing more modernized poems for those people, so they know how i feel about them now, if that makes any sense. I wrote one for my mom too.

I've also been focusing a lot on that Book Publishing book that will (hopefully) give me necessary info to find a place in that industry. It actually makes me really excited - it includes info on internships and the like.

I want to focus on writing new things. I've been slacking some days because I've been writing my Senior Project paper, and now that I've flubbed up and have to write the whole thing over again, that will most likely keep my focus yet again. I need to do more promo for Ink'd Unknown as well as brainstorm some ideas for my lesson.

I've been speculating, trying to come up with ideas for my portfolio theme. I'm seriously considering angels, like Warrior angels (for war poetry), dark angels (for the sad stuff), and things like that. That's one reason why I want YOU MISS PERSON to get www.deviantart.com unblocked for me, so I can get the pictures. I also wrote a "shadow self" poem in the 10th grade that was written over a picture of an angel that I've always been fond of. I'm tempted to do another "Goddess" theme, but I already did that, and it would be boring for both of us if I did it again. I was totally proud of myself for that, though! :-)

I'm still kind of iffy on the whole "30 minute reading" thing...I don't want anyone to go!!! I could always "invite people" and pretend to be disappointed when no one shows...You'll never know... :-)
