Obligatory First Post (I Promise This One Isn't Too Weepy)

Okay, okay.  I know what you're thinking.  This is just another blog written by a selfish, twenty-something year old girl who is gonna complain a lot...

...aaaaaaaaand I can't necessarily promise that that won't be true.

However, this is my public effort to make my unemployment fruitful.  Yes, by blogging.  Have I lost you, yet?

No?  Good.  I implore you to stick around!  (Did I seriously just say "implore"?)  Here are my plans for what's to come:

I want to share my poetry, articles, daily blurbs, pictures, let downs, frustrations, hopes and dreams (even the ones that get squished like bugs), and unemployment with you.  My goal is to write so that

1. I stay motivated
2. I don't waste my natural talent.
3. I have something to show to potential employers (since I am an unemployed aspiring writer and editor).
4. I spend time doing something other than applying to jobs.
5. I am able to get a broad spectrum of feedback.  I appreciate constructive criticism!

Basically, I don't know what to tell you to expect because I don't know what to expect yet, myself.  So hang tight and read on!
