I have my <a href=\"http:\/\/snbconsultingservices.ca\">SNB Consulting Services<\/a> proposal almost done to teach a course on internet marketing and have been collaborating to create a series of writing workshops. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout all the mayhem I&#8217;ve been able to get a great start on a new young adult novel. It&#8217;s semi-autobiographical. When I was in high school, I attended a summer French Immersion program at a university campus two hours away from home. It&#8217;s a great setting for a story &#8211; high school kids living on a university campus in a co-ed dorm, first boyfriends, kisses and some pretty major decisions. There was some serious teenage angst &#8211; trust me I was there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve reconnected with my boyfriend from the French Immersion program. I&#8217;m thrilled he is letting me pick his brains for his memories and perspective. Although, I think he has an ulterior motive. I suspect he wants to see if he can finally figure out how my mind worked back then&#8230; yeah, good luck with that, I&#8217;m not even sure I know how my brain was working when I was fifteen. (and there is some debate whether it was working at all)<\/p>\n<p>As if this isn&#8217;t enough, some of my writing friends and I are re-establishing our proofreading group. I have three more novels to edit before I can upload them for sale. Meeting with them every week will really light the fire under my butt to get me moving. Added bonus, I really like the novels they&#8217;re writing and their insight to mine, makes me a better editor. <\/p>\n<p>After all, I have those New Year&#8217;s resolutions to keep. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a nutzoid few weeks and it promises only to get busier, I can&#8217;t keep the smile off of my face. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-randommusings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":309,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302\/revisions\/309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
