I applaud your candor and your commitment to improving your writing and the writing of others.
The additional piece of advice I offer is simple: proofread your text and then have someone else proofread it as well! Having read more of these essays than I care to admit, omitted words, misspellings that spell check will never catch (e.g., their and there; or to, two, too!), and sentences that do not make sense greatly detract from the main message of the essay.

The choices we've made define us as we are today, but they do not have to define us as we will be tomorrow - we have today's decisions to make a difference.

The ultimate in idea exchange is a fun forum where people mingle with like minded individuals. There is live chat, Twitter and after blogging. In North Carolina try www.pknraleigh.com, www.tedxtrianglenc.com/, or www.igniteraleigh.com

So I started a blog of a fictional story that I am writing. Each post will equal one chapter. I'd really like to have it made into a graphic novel at some point.
Doing the blog and making it a point to post a chapter a week is somewhat of an experiment to see if it will force me to be more steady about working on the story.

I'll admit that it was my biggest concern before posting the blog. It very well could happen (if it does I guess that means my story was pretty good :P)
With that said, I decided I'd rather share this story, albeit in an unconventional method, than keep it in a drawer forever. There are other avenues to publish the work, sure. However, I want to see if I can make this work this way. I could be way wrong, but I also could be right. So in summary, yes I am concerned about it, but my sense of adventure overwhelms my sense of fear.

Right now I'm getting everything set up to start at ECU this fall to complete a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology. I've started a part-time job at the library just two weeks ago and I'm considering looking for a part-time lab tech position - but it may be best to wait until after I get back into the groove of being in school, I don't know, we'll see :D

I've done sales, acting, sales management, search engine marketing management, and social media consulting. I am now working on my own side business where I teach other artists how to sell their art online.
I have no idea where this is going, but it's a fun ride!
Alicia DuClos:
I'm interested in your side venture of teaching artists how to sell their art online. In what stage is it in, if you don't mind me asking..

I am curious how all of us, who have had several jobs in a short amount of time and at a young age, are supposed to create a personal brand that makes any sense. I have worked in design, journalism, PR and now hope to enter the world of marketing. So, how do I define myself as a professional when my background is so diverse?

With so many doing tightening over the past year, I can guarantee you that many realized that 10 years getting really good at one skill isn't comparable to 5 years getting really good at 10 skills. You can balance years of experience with skills by good team-building. So as you search, check out job reqs for diverse experience and skill combinations.

In your twenties it's more important to show skills than a stable chronological trajectory.

Over the past decade I went from library sciences to food service to medical records to park attendant to environmental scientist to handywoman to sales - & I was in school 75% of the time. Now I'd like to get greenhouse/nursery experience, continue with schooling and do something that I've wanted to do since I could pick up a crayon: start my illustration career.
