     For the past couple of days, I’ve been drawn back into the creative writing part of my life. This time I’m taking my time and enjoying the fun moments of the process. A couple of days ago, I was able to have a first draft blitz. That was the longest time I’ve ever been in the zone before. It was great because I didn’t self edit while I go. ( That’s what I did for my college papers when I was busy or didn’t have time after hanging out with friends.) Creative writing is great because you can express yourself that doesn’t have to be seen by anyone else, or you can show it to someone else with the hope of striking a chord within that person. My New Year’s Resolution was to finish five short stories by next year. I’m already on my way to finishing one. One isn’t much, but at least it’s something.

    I know that I whine about landing a job, but I’m serious about getting a job before I turn twenty one next month. My friends want me to rent an apartment or house with them. This makes me nervous because I’ve never paid rent before, and we all know what happened when I  handled my expenses in college! One thing to add to the blaze of my doubts is that I don’t know how my mom would react. It makes me feel like I’m a traitor to her if I move out. If I do muster the courage to move out, I’ll call her everyday just to touch base.

—Peace, Love, and Furi Kuri!
