So, my original post was deleted. But I am moving on. My team (Curpy) and I had a great time at both the fairs setup by our professor Dr. Beaumont. (go here for pics of both days: http://macekingston.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/trade-fair-photos/ ). At the market place trade fair we did really well. We won the 100 pounds prize […]
It’s been a long time, but I am back to my regularly scheduled blogging program. Sessions started back the beginning of this month and while I’ve had many great classes until now, the one that I found most interesting was the assignment we did this past Friday. Jerry Leisure – International Director for Compassion 2 One […]
Alright, I have been horribly remiss in keeping up with my blog. Here’s what’s going on cliffnotes style. I am currently on vacation in Italy. I’m staying with my brother, his fiancee, and my 11-month-old nephew. He has a backyard view of the alps. (Pics to come later). We’re in Aviano which is an hour […]
“She would be hot if she didn’t remind me of my mother. You ever feel that way Ms. Kinnington? I first realized I was in love with Mrs. Evans during lunch…” I tried to bury my hatred of life as Andrew came to me with yet another lover’s pursuit that would undoubtedly end in heartache. […]

Hello, I know it seems like it’s been a while since I posted anything…and it kind of has. However, there is a reason for that. I started using the WordPress site that I installed on my site a while back but never used. I’m thinking I’ll get more versatility with WordPress than with Blogger. So, […]
Yesterday, I had the joy of celebrating my first overseas birthday. And it was my 30th birthday, so it was kind of extra special for me. I went to a publishing conference that brought up a lot of questions for me about where the industry is headed. You can read my thoughts on that here. […]
Yesterday, I went to the Publishing Now conference. (The day before was the debate). The main focus of the this conference was how the industry is effected by the digitization of print media. As an author, it was good hear to what members of the publishing industry think about the future of their profession. And […]
Tonight (immediately after my 5pm class) I went to the introductory part of a publishing conference called Publishing Now! The idea of the debates were to talk about the ways in which the publishing industry is changing and get out the pros and cons. Of course, the biggest thing to hit the publishing industry in […]
This is my first post of the month. I swear, it feels like I had September, October and now we’re in December. I have to read previous blog posts to figure out what the hell happened to November. I read a Tweet from Wil Wheaton. Apparently, he lost his November as well. Maybe it was […]
