Profile Articles: What Are They and How Can I Have My Own?
What is a profile article? Simply put, a profile article is almost like your résumé with an added background that helps tell your story, who you are, and what you do to the world. Profile articles are beneficial to anyone—use yours as a way to communicate who you are to future employers or business partners by sharing your link in any social media profiles, use it as a way to promote your business/side hustle, or promote yourself in any way you would like!

Writing the First Draft of Your Novel
I still remember the feeling of finishing my first draft. It’s an intense sense of accomplishment, like you’ve built a tower by hand. And while I wouldn’t consider the journey done (I’m still looking for a publisher) the reward of finishing is something I’ll always have.

Horrible Employees Rule the Workplace
Let me tell you about a little story that in which I have found myself currently exploring. I have been working at a job with a school district for almost five years now. My goal in the next year is to finish school and get my teaching credential. My current boss is the kind that absolutely makes you dread coming into work. She is the type of boss that makes you actually wonder how you can go to work and make yourself throw up. She's horrible.

Tough B., Inc. Business Plan
The Tough B business plan summary is all about how many articles I’m going to publish. Sometimes you hear back from a pitch but other times, you have to wait a while to hear back at all. There are many options to publish my work in. One story is a quirky piece with details that are changed, reading almost like a composite in a psychology self-help book. This story is about how to be a child of an untreated narcissist. This is a bizarre and quirky story to write since I have to change identifying details anyway. I found a market for The Perfect Copy. I need to write a goals list off of Tough B, Inc. business plan one. I have another Tough B. Inc. business plan two for blogs.

No Love for Ex-Bosses
Several months had passed since I was laid off from my job as an administrative assistant. A former co-worker who was still employed at the company asked if I kept in contact with my ex-boss, Martin (not his real name). “No,” I said, before changing the subject. Why would I bother to keep ties with a man who obviously didn’t give a damn about how I was going to survive after his actions?

5 Signs You Are in a 'Bad Room'
5 Signs That You Are In a "Bad Room" Michelle Wolf was the 2018 comedian for the White House Correspondents' dinner. She, like every comedian the years before, is put in the position to make Rich Politicians laugh. But is it really her fault if they didn't laugh at her material, like her style, or found her distasteful? Not exactly...really, it's C-SPAN; the Channel that puts on the dinner every year and knows who exactly they are bringing, whether it be guest or performers. Since it seems C-SPAN didn't really do the homework of who Michelle Wolf was and how she writes her jokes, we have the unhappy accident of a really great artist being put in a 'Bad Room' *bum Bum BUM.*

My Writing Goals: 2018
Well, I finished the sci-fi novella that took me years to find the headspace to write it in. I have another sci-fi story that I’m working on, typing word for word. When I write, I tend to trance medium channel the story. In fact, my trance mediumship pretty much is how I learn. I can sit there, recording lectures in my head or with a device. When reading a book, I could almost download it but I have to read it in order to get my memories settled. I mean, I realize an M.F.A. takes a shorter time than an M.S. An M.F.A. at San Jose State is really easy.
