I would like to start out by saying that this will be my last semester before I complete my Associate in Applied Arts Degree at Anoka Ramsey Community College-Coon Rapids. Even though my AA Degree will be complete, I will continue to attend ARCC to become an RN. I will eventually transfer to the University of Minnesota. I have been attending ARCC for almost 3 years and I enjoy it a lot. In April of this year I was elected VP of Leadership for the Phi Theta Kappa which is a great honor. I have been a member of the Phi Theta Kappa for almost 3 years now and finally took a board position. I took journalism because I love reading and writing, as well as expressing myself though photojournalism. Overall, I thought taking a journalism class would be an expansion to that passion.
I have written stories and poems for the Rapids Review at ARCC-Coon Rapids and hope to write more. I also hope that being a board member of the Phi Theta Kappa will allow me to write for the ARCC-Coon Rapids newspaper, the Salmagundi. Other than my school activities, I love to be outdoors! My husband and I try to do something every weekend that involves us getting outside. This last weekend we went to the Renaissance Festival and had a blast. Other then that I work as a waitress and we are expecting our first son in November around Thanksgiving (not only our first son, but our first baby!). We are super excited for that :D Thank goodness we picked out a two bedroom apartment from day one.
That's about it.

Congrats on the upcoming baby! You must be so excited.
ReplyDeleteDue to your interest in writing for the Coon Rapids newspaper, you might want to contact the editor there and pitch a few story ideas. As written in your syllabus, I've asked that you email stories to the Cambridge student newspaper editor. But it might make more sense for you to send them to the Coon Rapids paper, Michelle.
Congrats on your baby boy! That is very exciting. Being an RN sounds like a great idea. I heard the U of M has a very good program for that. You are right about killing off my characters. It does add a depth to the story, but I need to be able to develop my characters and think of other strong endings. I'm very happy to meet other writers to discuss these things with :)
