So... I'm starting over
So here I am, starting the world of blogging after advice from my not so technologically savvy mom. While at first I thought she was crazy I've decided... why not, I need to write, I crave writing, so why not. I bet you are wondering who I am. I'm 27 years old, lived in Ohio my entire life, and live in a small 3 bedroom home with my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years our two cats and a bunny (yes, I know, adorable!). I worked in television as a news producer for 5 years before not being renewed this past October. I've slowly been bleeding my savings dry with little money coming in and being exciting for my tax refund and cashing in my 401K. Of course keep this in mind, with 5 years of work... that 401K wasn't that much. I own my house, which was quite an achievement at 23 when I bought it... but with no job I'm quickly becoming house poor. I put the house on the market in March hoping the first time home buyer credit would get it sold and get me to my dream fast! So what's my dream? To move to Seattle, leave TV behind, and work as a Communications Director for a large company. I have had lots of great advice for selling the house, and I wouldn't know what to do without the career counselor I've been seeing... I guess in the end I'm hoping that writing everything out... going back to what I know best... will get me to where I want to go.

Wow. I should have read this post first. I have put post kinda of telling you my story. I love writing too. I do lead a writing group twice a month...so if you are interested let me know. Also one of my previous managers hired me to write ads for the rooms she rents out. I'm amazed when I let go of what I think my life should look like. Things start to fall into place. I'm looking at writing on the side and working toward a marketing/advertising degree.
