I’ve just finished my second story for the Writing for Children & Teens course that I started a few months back. It’s nice to hold something in your hands that came directly from your head. Without hurting yourself, that is.

Anyway, it’s a story about a girl’s fourteenth birthday, and silence. Hence the above quote. I think the story was probably influenced by most Americans’ sense of powerlessness under the Bush administration. Then again, what isn’t?

Regardless, I like this story. A lot. I think it could be many more than 1,031 words. I guess there’s a lot to say about silence.

It’s been so long since I’ve blogged. My new job at keeps the work weeks long, especially since there’s at least three hours in commuting tacked on to each day. Ech. It’s a good thing that the great people make up for it. When we move to River North, it’ll be super-keen.

The people are cool, you say? How’s that? Well, for one thing, these people like their parties. There was not one, but two (count ’em, two!) parties yesterday given by folks from the office. And there’s only about thirty employees! Jed and I only went to one, because I wanted to use some of the afternoon to work on a campaign pitch (scheduled for Tuesday) for a new client of theirs. I know, kinda nerdy. :)
