Gwen's Good News


Hello all! I just wanted to let you know that I will be starting an editing internship June 10th. I will be interning at the University Press (at USC), where I will be proof reading manuscripts before they go to print.

Basically, I will be doing the work they freelance out (the bonus for them is that I will be working for free). This is a great opportunity for me because if I do well, they could be a future client for me.

I don't know how much you know about my career plans, but I'm graduating in December and will be starting my freelance editing/writing business at that time. I'm already doing some side work: I'm doing some web-text for a few businesses, and I'm working with a doctor on editing his current manuscript.

ALSO, I'm finally getting serious about writing again. I've mapped out a novel, chapter by chapter, and can't wait to put some meat on its bones.

Life is good!

For Mother's Day

Well, yesterday, I mentioned that I had some pictures. Today, I feel, is a better day to add them. In celebration of Mom!

1st, the first picture of Jax with his Mom:



2nd, a gift from our Mom, that Jax is finally old enough to enjoy:



3rd, Jax wearing his pants like Grandma:







And... just as a bonus:
A lot of people ask who Jax looks more like: Jess or me. Today, I finally have the definitive answer:

Picture of the Day

So I have a couple sweet, sweet pictures on my phone that I really want / need to share with the family. However, as some of you know, Jax likes to listen to rain when he's falling asleep at the beginning of the night, so he's got my phone right now. In the mean time, here's a different picture I want to share:

Flying Camel, nice to meet you.

P.S. As I was typing this (11:30pm), I was sitting in the Dining Room in my undies. Some dude tried to come in the house (fortunately, the door was locked). I was half-way to the door to protect my family by beating up some robber with a stroller, when I heard "Sorry, wrong door!", and the guy move on to his own apartment (next door).
